hopefully Gen V but why would a camaro get a gen V before the vette... not happening and how much better can you make an ls3....
make it have AFM DOD, get 30 mpg with 430 hp and 430 lbft... with manual variable valve timing... redline of 7000... like... engines cant get that much better... we just need the ls3 to have all of these and theres your gen v

oh that slays me! lol sorry, but your guesses didn't sound right 2 me anyway. we all know it's going to be one monsterous szr2s8s lol, no, but really i kinda thought the z/28 would be top tog??? maybe not. as for the whole it looks small thing, i agree, it does kinda, but i'm alright w/ that. just less weight! the wheels looks almost too big, but they're alright. all around...beautiful!!! |

There will be a Z28 That car will be availible at launch It will have 400 hp That engine will be a detuned LS3 There will be an SS The SS will come later It will make 550 hp It will feature a Supercharger The engine will be called an LSA Many sources believe this is the way it will be So, there are many things that could be wrong there. We just don't have any clue as to what. But Fbodfather never said that everything was wrong . . . just 'several nopes'. So, Fbodfather please feel free to quote this post and put a 'nope' beside the things that aren't going to happen. It will relieve much of the confusion here. Thank you in advance. it was worth a shot, wasn't it?

Maybe there is all somthing we may not know at all...
This regurgitation that every one is doing with brining the old back and and retro this and that. It's just not exiting anymore, or is it? What if GM is thinking about comming up with a whole new trim level? Sure SS and Z/28 are the classics we want to see back but that's what Ford did with GT500 and Cobra right? Maybe there is something else we don't know and Fbodfather is just laughing about all the misleading info we keep feeding each other. It's like being in middle school again talking about the girl we hook up with and lied about it.

Taking the pessimistic route... 1. Z28 available at launch -- nope Maybe not available at launch, maybe not available at all. Fashionably late to the party perhaps with a hot date (the vert)? 2. detuned 400 hp LS3 -- nope NOT detuned maybe? or no LS3? 3. Retuning your engine -- nope I don't know...he just said "several nopes" 4. SS later arrival -- nope Maybe not late at all, maybe not coming right off, but I think we know the SS will come. 5. ...with LSA 550hp -- nope Not the LSA? No 550hp? No LSA in the SS, maybe its in the Z28...oh the engine specualtion spools up again........ 6. Many sources beleive this -- nope Depends on who your sources are I suppose.

Okay - I just read the model /options packaging of the 1969 Camaro.
RS was apprearance package (headlight doors, etc) SS was 350 V8 Muncie 4 speed Z28 was super exotic, made for Trans Am racing series So, now I think launch model will be SS LS3 With Z28 coming later with maybe supercharged V8, maybe DI Gen 5 You know, this car is fun and it isn't even available yet! |

Finally got home, just watched it... holy crap! Like someone said earlier, that Camaro was roaring around the corners like it was trying to break the corner for making it turn! Sounded incredible, my faith remains strong!
I'll take whatever version sounded like this one! 2009 can not come fast enough!!! I can't take it!!!
