I think so. I tell people it should have been called the Z28 if they weren't planning anything after the ZLE.

I can assure you that conversation happened. More than a few times.

Actually, EVs had absolutely nothing to do with the discussions of ZL1 1LE vs Z/28. That decision was made before the pivot to the Zero Emissions strategy.

Gotcha. I was implying that if the team were still around, they'd have the personnel to shove that C8Z engine into a 6th gen and make the real Z28.

Yeah, makes sense. For a while I thought that might be a thing. Even had it in the powertrain forecast. THAT'S when the EV influence kicked in. You are right on that aspect. I was responding to the idea of should the ZLE have been the Z/28. When that decision was made, the scenario you laid out may have still in play.

Any guesses on power output of the LT6?

So what was the engine guess? The FPC V8 or something based off the 6.6 truck engine? I've seen rumors of both.

FPC. 6.6 is and always will be a stump-pullin' truck engine.
