No, my thoughts are that they are doing it, more along the lines because "it has always been done that way", meaning LS series, or LT series, and in marketing their products, if LT5 adds a little appeal for more sales, than they will do it. In the end, if they introduce a C7 ZR1, it's motor may not even be called LT5....what if that is the Z06 engine, and they call the ZR1's motor L88? Could happen.

Maybe I am getting old, but I thought it raised eyebrows with them calling the new base engine LT1. In my eyes we just had LT1! 1992 - 1996 doesn't seem that long ago!
