Excellent point. Rumors are there will be an N/A version of the 5.5L engine that will put out 600+ HP, and be FPC with a 9,000RPM redline. The smaller 5.5L engine may be able to fit without the turbos, and an N/A engine is preferred in a track car. Seems to be possible, but we don't really know the dimentions of the new engine family so...
But, I still think the timing is wrong for any of the new 5.5's will make it to a 6th Gen Z/28.
So, my personal guess is that IF there will be a Gen 6 Z/28 it will be an LT5, or a detuned LT5 that goes into it.
I wonder which of these two options potential Z/28 buyers would prefer - a 750ish HP S/C LT5, or a 600+ HP N/A 9,000RPM screamer?
