Both motors are LSx based Gen IV motors, they are dimensionally identical. L99 has displacement on demand though. I would be willing to bet that they used the more economical motor to keep it from being taxed as a “Gas Guzzler”. The new Camaro is heavy, and the manual LS3 version had just enough MPG to avoid the tax.
