As has been confirmed, and repeated 'n repeated, the LS7 is going away...
And as I mentioned, there are gaps between LT1 and LT4, Since you're a diehard GMer, that should be encouraging news.
Is the Coyote a fine engine? All those sold ones answer that question, don't they?
Is the LS7 the lightest-weight heavy hitter that GM, at this late date in the Gen-5 lifecycle, could put in the Z/28? Yes indeedie.
Would GM go to the even greater expense of putting the LT1 (with its non-compliant electronics) in a Gen-5 Camaro? No, they wouldn't/didn't.
Does the Z/28 lap (its intended mission) a track quicker than a (current-Gen but now past-model) BOSS LS? Yes.
Will a (next-Gen) GT 350 beat a (next-Gen) Z/28? Only time (no pun) will tell. Will the GT 350 beat a then-past-model LS7? Who'll really cares?
Does it matter in the showrooms of America that the Gen-5 Z/28 beats the now-redundant BOSS? Not really.
Both serve(d) the purpose of being their (current-to-this-moment) respective manufacturers' benchmarks with regard to road course warriors with VINs. And both manufacturers will do their best to improve upon these successes with their next-Gen replacements.
