It remains to be seen what the power curves look like for both engines, but it appeals to people like me.
Consider it as an optional engine like the Ecoboost for the F-150. You can choose the LT1 or the LF3. In that case you might charge extra for the LF3, not the LT1. You used to do that with Camaros all the time (SS350, SS396, etc...). I don't see how it has to make the V8 more expensive.

Because of the cam phasing in the LT1, the torque curves are likely to be similar in shape...obviously more powerful in the LT1, and flatter in the TTV6.
I'm excited for this engine - can't wait to see it go to work in the ATS-V!!
