I'm willing to bet an entire engine designed with DI in mind would put down 500 easily done. and taking a wild guess that it would have a forged rotating assembly since the 3.6 does and other DI engines lately have.

seems to me you are just being a negative nancy. . .the Z28 will see the light of day. just like the camaro did.

OMG you guys are killing me here...more hp...do I hear 550?

I'm actually waiting for someone to race a new V6 against a first generation V8.

like i said before, i have a friend who works on it and won't say what kind of engine it is, but it IS supercharged. this is fact. i will eat crow if it comes out without a blower.

500 is about what I would figure for a 6.2L DI. Maybe a little less, maybe a little more. But its a good ball park estimate. However, I doubt GM will release a DI 6.2 anytime soon. If I were them, I would drop the displacement down to 5.7L or possibly even 5.3L.

direct injection, as opposed to port or throttle body injection.

The car is going to need some kind of forced induction to be both practical and competitive against competitors like the GT500. I'm not saying a naturally aspirated Camaro Z28 couldn't be built to run with a blown competitor, but it would bring new meaning to the phrase 'gas guzzler tax' and it would cost more than a comparably powerful supercharged engine too.

How about a DI SC'd LSA?...

THAT - would be cool!!!

If it were up to me I would effectively merge the LSA and LS9 engines with the only differences being the supercharger itself and the lack of a dry sump on the LSA models and just slap said revised LSA into the Camaro and CTS-V.
