I have no issue with mustang owners, but I don't understand why some of them are on here just to talk trash. How sad could your life be? I seen a post of a Camaro owner that got his wheels stolen and a mustang owner posts "well it looks better now". Or like the guy in here saying everyone and their grandma apparently owns a Camaro. Even though there are more retro mustangs on the road then Camaro SMH!

I believe Vengeance Racing (or another tuner) already states a 2.3 will fit, and they are working on a kit. They are getting 700 rwhp + from the 1.7 though and its still not tapped out.

I don't talk trash, I speak the truth. Sometimes.

i mean i guess that answers that. im sure GM had a hp # they wanted and found that it was attainable with a 1.7. if not they would have gone with a 2.3.

Just because there is space under the hood does not mean that GM can fit a larger supercharger. There are regulations in Europe for pedestrian impact. One of the requirements are that pedestrians can't hit solid engine bits (such as a super charger) with their heads during a collision. The simplest solution is to leave a bit of extra space between the hood and the engine, a bigger supercharger would require the hood to be even taller -which could mess with aesthetics and/or aerodynamics.

In some countries like Japan, you are more likely to get killed from being hit BY a car than being killed while IN a car. So Front Engine low cars like the Corvette are at a slight disadvantage in this regard. There are some people proposing things like airbags on the hood and hood hinges that will pop up during a pedestrian impact to create more space between the hood and the engine compartment. http://www.patents.com/us-6415882.html

I think GM is saving that for the next ZR1. From what I've heard, expect around 750-770HP. Displacement of the motor is unknown. Maybe just maybe a 7 liter LT variant will happen. I've also heard that it could be a TT 4.5 liter DOHC motor. I hope for the GM crowd that this holds true.

I must of missed where he said that, but either way, both cars are pretty generic mid-level sports cars. I mean I know our Camaro's are all special to us, but in the grand scheme of cars in general, they aren't special at all.
