I really hope some sort of super charged cadillac V in a camaro suit comes to town or better yet a twinturbo charged v6 like leno's or better yet a twinturbo v8

The general belief (for what it's worth) is that the Z will be an SS with Z specific body mods and the powertrain from the CTS-V.

I however, think that it should be FWD powered by a straight 6.

This would be my dream. Eaton supercharged LSX.

totally doable at what price? GM could make a 900rwhp n/a v8 for the Z28, but you'd be paying out the wazoo for it.

cause its not just hp numbers that they are looking at. its reliable hp numbers over years and years of driving.

his observations were:
-the rims look really sweet in person
-supercharged engine (top mount SC)
-lots of cooling fins on the SC

it's definitely in testing!!

He may not have taken a picture, but he can sketch on a napkin and scan it. Maybe it was a proto Hybrid camaro included in the test fleet to meet the CAFE standards which might explain cooling fins on a top mounted two-mode hybrid generator. Or maybe the fins were of an alternate camaro power source altogether....

Was that a Duramax with an Eaton & TTs?!

AdamCzap · 03-07-2010, 01:10 AM
