As he was talking to that reporter, Al already knew that there was an LT5, he already knew that there was going to be a ZR1 and what it was going to be. My point is that if he knew all of that when talking to this reporter, he would also know that the ZL1-1LE was not the last of the line for the Gen 6, and using the historical reference of a being naturally aspirated was a great way of not tipping his hat to future product.
We're not going to see a V8 larger than 6.2L in these cars, I feel pretty confident about that. Forced Induction is the technology of the day, and I don't think the Z/28 is immune to it.

They've already put a 7.0L in the car in the previous generation. They could very easily do exactly this, with an LSX 454 that produces almost 640hp....
Forged internals, almost as fast as a ZL1, but no FI...
