LT2 vs LT5

Just hear me out. We haven't heard much about the new LT2 that will be the base power plant for the C8. That is supposed to be a N/A 500ish hp tuned up LT1. What if they did keep the naturally aspirated idea like the previous gen Z/28 and instead of the LT5 they used the LT2?

I haven't read anyone else mention this but it makes sense to me. The only thing I would find hard to believe with this concept is the Z/28 car having the same heart as the new C8. I don't necessarily believe GM would allow that to happen.

A 6th gen, stripped out, more powerful NA Camaro than the SS but not as much power as the ZL1 (Just like 5th gen) and lighter than SS and ZL1. This is just an idea that hit me this morning.

Do I think it will actually happen? most likely not....

But what if they did?
