The LSA is the Supercharged V-8 from the V-series Cadillac. A slight power bump from the 556HP CTS-V. The ZR-1 sports a LS9 Supercharged mill.

Yep, since the GTO is gone we need people to wreck more Camaro's so the yards can get loaded up on parts.

It's good for the economy right? Well, except for the insurance companies.
