Throw in the whole bankruptcy thing and I don't think the past 7-8 years are a very good indication of what the next decade holds for GM.

I don't think thats where he was going with his analogy. I think he was trying to say something along these lines.
Corvette gets LS9, Camaro gets LSA which is not as "good" as the LS9
I think he was trying to say, that if there was a "lesser" version of the LS7, that the Z/28 would have gotten that, but because there was not, they HAD to use the LS7
