i think pushrod engines are proven and reliable why mess with it and make a OHC and possibly have it blow up in ur face, i think thats why GM hasnt really tried it and plus if they wanna stick with trying to make a retro muscle car OHC doesnt really fit, IMO

Point made, but if they are so concerned with retro muscle- why didn't they bring back the 'Z28' model designation?
The models IMO should have been RS, Z28, SS. With the RS being some kind of apperance package, Z28 being the V8 motor, SS having the big motor and the RS SS having it all...
But since I'm not in charge of GM I have no say..

I think it should be like the original, you could get any engine in the RS, the z28 was teh high output small block, and the ss was teh all out any v8 with good suspension (including a big block)

haha... I actually heard a vtec for the first time in person last week. Some guy in an Acura was trying to beat me on the merge into a single lane on an exit ramp, i heard him step on it, then it got loud like 2 seconds later haha... I still beat him
