Which "Missing" RPO Engine Would You Prefer? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

At this very moment, NO LS7 or LSA/LS9 is available direct from Oshawa Production. Given the option, which one would you consider?

1) LS7 - 427

2) LSA/LS9 - Supercharged

LS7. Already very proven and can add s/c to it later if you wanted.

MerlinZero · 04-23-2009, 10:55 AM

LS7.... nothing line a 7L engine...

Vash · 04-23-2009, 11:46 AM

4 Cyl 2bbl?

Legend · 04-23-2009, 11:47 AM

LS7 without a doubt!

I'd love me some LS7 in my new Camaro!!

Personally, I would be happy with the LS7. Nice split between the current LS3 and the mighty LS9.

Too bad it is not long for this world. Would have been a nice compromise in terms of HP ratings.

If it's good enough for a ZR-1 it's good enough for me. LS9 please

SSINSTR · 04-23-2009, 02:09 PM

LS9 no question. Don't get me wrong, the LS7 is a fantastic ENGINE and will go down as one of the best of our time. I'll admit I'm partial to boost and the potential of the LS9 is ridiculous (who wants a 700hp bolt on car, I do!). GT500's wouldn't have a prayer.

fixed for the nitpickers

LS7 FTW.

To be honest, anything more like the LSX/9 would be more than I need or want. The LS7 would hit the sweet spot.

Actually, the LS7 is not a motor...it's an engine.
