They had to do this deliberately to confuse us:

The yellow car in the pictures is merely a distraction to keep the camera mans attention away from what is really happening!
Pic # 8 look above the distraction, guy carrying an assault rifle protecting the LT-1 powered GEN 6 in a fenced in area. Pic # 9 Guy in the forground holding a pistol on Ford engineers trying to get a look at the LT-1 powered GEN 6 as it is getting some tweaks in the service bay. It's about the situational awareness |

The lower V6-style facia makes sense...the larger opening for the V8 is to facilitate Automatic Transmission cooling...which would NOT be available with an LS7.
NPP exhaust would be a necessary feature to get an "honest" 500 net hp in the Camaro chassis, which otherwise has a more restrictive exhaust system than the Z06s. As for the mailslot, making it disappear would be a good thing. TWO things, at a minimum, missing: 1) Forged wheels, ala 1LE/ZL1 2) ZL1 Brembos Aero tweaks to follow... How many days to the Chicago Auto Show?! |

So how do they know it has an LS7 in it? Just because "It sounds like a V8" doesn't mean it's an LS7. It could still be an LS3 or possibly the new LT1.

This version could simply be a drivetrain analysis mule...without the full ZEE suit of clothing...which BTW should include an extractor/RamAir composite hood.

Maybe GM is trying to tell us something. It's a V6 lower bumper with a V8 slot. Maybe GM is trying to tell us that this is a V6 with V8 power. The quad tips could represent the ZL1's forced induction.
In conclusion, my guess is that this is a force-fed V6.

Same "The Blur" from back in the day?
If GM does release an LS7-equipped 5th gen I will be quite jealous.
