That was what we were thinking for a while (either LS3 or L76) but then Scott told us to forget everything we thought about engine possibilities. So we're back at square one or two now.

Wow, I didnt know that. Thanks for passing that on. It sure seems like the ls3 would be the logical choice. Am I correct in assuming that the ls2 is out?

Has anybody given any thought to the 5.3 in say a rally sport? Then maybe a 6.xx in the z28? As you can see Im grasping at straws here wanting to know more.

I think we confirmed the 5.3 isn't happening. Also, the RS could be an appearance package and not a trim line. Historically, it has been either one at different times.

The LS2 is good and dead. I suppose an LS3 could happen. We really don't know what to make of Scott's remark. Many of us are hoping that indicates the rumored Gen Vs, but we don't know many details about those. Both the LS3 and L76 were logical choices for various reasons, so we'll see what happens.

Since we're so undecided on the V8, can we come to a conclusion on the performance (RS?) V6? From what I understood, it would be a direct-injected version of the CTS motor, but that was just a rumor.

Again, that's as good a guess as any, but we won't really know until Chevy officialy releases specs/details. Until then, all we can do is speculate and make educated guesses based on what we see in other GM vehicles that might be appropriate for the new Camaro.

I just read this on HOTROD.com

Both Camaro prototypes in public circulation-the silver coupe that did the HOT ROD Power Tour(r) last year and the convertible as well-are powered by LS2 V-8s rated at 400 hp. However, GM insiders have blabbed to HOT ROD the range of potential powertrain options for the new Chevy ponycar. There will be two V-6 choices and at least three V-8s, including a 550hp version of the supercharged 6.2L V-8 for a high-content Z28 model. Sources indicate there will be two base V-8s, one stick and one automatic, both of them over 400 hp.

If this is true all of us will be very happy when we get out Camaros.
