How many think GM will offer an engine combination with or without a super charger with over 500hp to compete with the GT 500?

It would be EXTREMELY unlikely that it would offer a gt500 competitor without a S/C. But oh yes, the competitor will come

I agree, but there are many among us that do not believe in boost. All I have to say to them is come to the dark side with us you will like it.

I think the SC may be the easiest way to get there. For my situation, with smog crap and all, it would be so easy to crank out more power with a SC'd motor.
Please please please...

If they can supercharge the Vett, HHR, and the Cobalt, they better do the Camaro as well!!! Maybe the accessories team will be the one doing it, but as long as it is done, i don't care who does it.

I think a SC will be added and I think the Camaro will CRUSH all hopes and dreams of the GT500. I don't think GM is going to stand by and let Ford take all the glory, here. In my heart of hearts, I know it.

There will probably be a 500+hp SC engine, considering that the LS7 is said to be on the way out. And if thats gone, then GM will either need a new engine or use a supercharged 6.2

I'm not saying when it starts production this engine will be released. I just think eventually GM will feel the need to compete with the GT500.

It will be dissapointing if this option is not offered at the same time the other v8 cars are offered. I'm quite sure I will not be waiting another year after the first production cars come out. It has been 6 years since they killed the camaro, and to not bring it back with some authority will be a disgrace. Isn't the LSA already to go for the CTS-V? |

Affirmative; it seems to me, from what has been speculated, either the LSA or LS8 (which is allegedly slated to replace the LS7) will get the nod'. We'll find out eventually...
