Camaro team input on engine development

This is always something I've wondered about. How much say does the Camaro team have in the development of the engines that eventually go under the hood?

I’ll bring this back up one more time, to see if there is any interest.

It would be cool to know the how the process works. Can we get that 302 motor from the COPO team?..maybe put it into the upcoming Z28, as a heritage package, or something. Would love to see the 302ci motor revisited as a high reviving track car!��

Interesting topic.....Specifically what would the Camaro Team say to a Forced Induction engine for a future Z/28?.....Is it the Camaro Team's call to stay "traditional" with N/A or is it up to "someone else"...? How much leverage do they have for CAFE, etc., low volume....whatever...

Might seem like asking for some secrets or future plans, but....blah, blah, blah...but perhaps a topic they might be able to dance around but still give some insight....

I would assume they get some input but I would say team Corvette gets the final say.

I agree. I’m just wondering how much say.
