I like that Ford will build a GT500 to beat the Camaro. It shows that both brands are serious about competition and performance.
I hope that some sort of Z28 comes out. I like Dragoneye's twin turbo V6 idea. It would compete with EcoBoost and would represent the classic heritage of having small displacement with similar power compared to the SS.

I'm totally open minded about different engines personally. I wouldn't care if the Z28 had a twin turbo V6 or if it had the LSA, as long as it has the power.
However I think the traditional enthusiast may. To them (not all) I think big V8's and the heritage of the muscle car era that was synonymous with them is what an enthusiast would look into. And I think offering anything less than a big V8 may not sit well with them (I'd say oh well to that) however they would be the ones buying it so the success of the Z28 would be dependent on that.
Personally I wouldn't care.... TTV6 or V8 is fine with me...
Now what is scary is that what if Ford one ups the Camaro by offering the ECO boost power-train as maybe their base or mid level model.
Merely speculation but they could offer their twin turbo V6 as an optional power plant on top of the stock V6 they use... Now that would not only take out the V6 Camaro but it would also be a serious contender to the Camaro SS... Let's hope Ford doesn't see this comment...
