Now that the C6R has a 5.5 liter engine (due to displacement limits), and the Gen V's coming out, I dont think we will see the LS7. Not to mention, its very expensive to make, more then the LS9.

That makes sense. I wasn't aware of the 5.5 liter ALMS rule. I guess that will be the death nail for that motor.
So the LS7 costs more to make than the LS9? However GM charges $8k more for the LS9 crate motor. Wow, they must be laughing all the way to the bank.
