This IS "Over" 500/500
POWER-TESTING THE FINAL PRODUCT Livernois Motorsports is experienced at building all kinds of LS engines for street and racing applications. The company likes the LS7 as a wet-sump engine because it makes just as much power throughout the rpm band as the stock dret-sump, installs anywhere a normal LS V-8 engine would go, and has incredible street cred. The wet-sump LS7 is not for customers wanting a track-ready Pro Touring car—in that case, the dry-sump version of the LS7 is ideal. Note: Power numbers are all corrected using correctionf factor SAE J607 (29.92 Hg, 60 degrees F, dry air) and testing was performed with the GM Performance Parts controller (GM PN 19166567) handling fuel and ignition.

Re: patience. Nowhere else on this forum will you find a more patient bunch the the ZEE-lievers...
Re: gearing. Speeds in gears for the Z/28 and the 1LE should be close to the same. The ZEE has more revs, but shorter tires. |

$73K or $83K? Not a chance.

Motor trend is never on the cutting edge of a new car info and when they do report something it's almost never correct.

I think the MSRP is going to be reasonable for the Z28 but am quite certain that dealerships will mark them up substantially just as they have done with the introduction of a new model. It is for this reason that I typically wait a year or so when purchasing the Camaro model I want. Not to mention that refinements are usually forth coming during this time. Given the number of Camaro's that have been sold, there should not be many refinements.

GM's been doing the same thing over and over building the perception of value at a higher price then surprising us all with even higher value at a lower price. Examples; ZL1 was guessed to be high $60K's to $70K's, the C7 guessed at over $60K base...
