Buy the time the new camero is out DOD will be on the LS2 and you'll see 30mpg on the highway.

and of course we all love the new motors in the corvette and its "new" technology that Honda had on its K series motors in the accord with iVTEC for about 2 years before (adustable valve and cam timing in motion) and its dead valve (disables valves completely for fuel economy at low rpm and enables them at high rpm). If they keep knocking off tech that the japs use on small motors and Toyota never develops the V8 they used in the SC400 more for the new Supra (launching under another name other than supra whenever or if ever they do finally launch it) Chevy will continue to keep the top of the line as far as efficient V8.
I am no domestic guy but aren't the new motors all OHC
