Camaro Z28 with LT5 Power Sounds Better Than Ever

This Torque News article sounds about right to me...
Quote:
The Camaro ZL1 1LE is a beast on the road course, but in a drag race with the likes of the Dodge Challenger or Charger with the Hellcat Hemi – the Chevy struggles

However, if the company swapped the LT5 in place of the LT4 and renamed the resulting vehicle the Camaro Z28, GM fans would have a real Hellcat killer on their hands.

Of course, with some simple chassis tuning, the Z28 would be able to offer comparable handling to the ZL1 1LE while being considerably quicker and faster with all of that extra power.

Should Chevrolet introduce an LT5-powered Camaro, the company will almost certainly give the Corvette ZR1 a year or two to lead the lineup on its own.

However, I believe that seeing an LT5-powered Camaro is only a matter time, so Chevy fans could soon have a car which should comfortably outrun the Dodge Hellcat cars.
