The LT1's Torque is already very near that of the LS7, I think about 10 ft/lbs or so even though it gives up 50 HP. If GM were to bump the LT1 up to around 485-500 HP, the performance should be equal or better than the LS7 in the lighter platform plus at a much lower cost.

It will be interesting to see but the MT article seemed pretty definite that the LS7 was going into the ATS-V. Time will tell.
