Because people are rolling over and letting the government dictate what we can and cannot have.

The point isn't invalid based on the LT1. A 5.3L version of that engine would not match the output of the LS3. And the cost increase of the LT1's new goodies would be very small (a few hundred maybe) compared to the sticker price hike (likely thousands) that would be asked of a whole new trim level above the current LS3 SS, if the 6.2 become a step-up. And quite frankly, the LT1 6.2 alone is not going to be a big enough step-up from the LS3 to justify that magnitude of price increase. Ultimately, this is a moot argument, though, because a 5.3L Camaro will likely not happen, not now anyway.

If the Gen 6 weighs 3-400 lbs less than the gen 5, it takes less torque and HP to get it moving..if you think they are gonna still put a 425-450 HP engine in a base V8 camaro, I sadly feel we are at a disagreement.

Keep in mind that the base 2015 Mustang GT will also be in that 425-450 hp range, and weigh about the same as the 6th-gen. The GT already undercuts the SS by $3-4K on price, so if they go with a 5.3L with 375-385-ish hp in the base SS and charge extra for the 425-450hp 6.2L on top of that, it starts to become a hard sell outside the "will never buy anything but a Chevy" community. GM's product planners are certainly smart enough to know that, and the 6th-gen SS will be equipped accordingly.

Well you are right, but I look at it like the 1SS(or heaven forbid a stripper Z/28) could have the 5.3 and the 2SS have the 6.2 and keep the price difference as they are now and they would still sell as they do now.

I think the 6th gen Z/28 will have the LT1 since its torque curve is that of the LS7 up to 4000 rpms. Base SS..... Well.... Who knows? 5.3? Hmmmm

Good question. Not sure. My question to you is, what'll they use for a Z/28 engine in the 6th gen if produced? Which I'm 95% sure they'll produce it. I don't think the LS7 will be produced in a 6th gen. So give me the list of gen V engines they're bringing to the table.
