Exactly. If they do use it, they're gonna detune the shiz out of it. That 550hp supercharged version seems like a wet dream too. If they were to make something like that, it would directly compete with the Z06 no?

I forgot to mention before... convertibles are gay.

so they will use the same pricing structure as the last generation which finally killed the camaro? that doesn't seem too smart, and this time they'll have a Dodge which competes directly with it not just the mustang.

the challenger wins in the looks department too (opinion of course)

The Corvette had the LS1 for all of the C5 generation (1997-2004). They put the LS2 in the C6 generation (and soon the LS3). The C5 ZO6s had the LS6 (385hp and 405hp versions) and the LS7 is in the C6 ZO6.

the G8 is the replacement for the Grand Prix, not the GTO
