I believe that they're selling the LS9 as a crate engine too.....since you can't get either from the factory in the damn thing, you might as well just order the LS9. After all, 505 hp is good, 638+ is better!!!

Hey now.....let's not go overboard. The Z06 is pure sex on wheels, even after being on the street for 3 years. I love the Camaro, but IMHO there's no way on earth it would win a beauty contest against the Z06. I actually think that the current Z06 may be the best looking of all of the production Corvettes in the last 30 years....and that includes the ZR1.

Will they offer the LS7 in any of the new cars or will be a direct repl from GM

As someone that tried pre-ordering the LS7.... They told me no its not an option right now.

I have plans on calling them back and probably end up just ordering it and having them do the work. Hopefully I'll be able to roll it into the financing.

They definitely look wider than the stockers!!

Paul...

Anyone? Bueller...

Did anyone get a good look at the wheels/tires? Even if it was just tire size??

I'd love to put some wider rims/tires on mine. Nothing crazy, just about like this concept...

Unfricken believable!!!!

This is what I wanted to do to my '99 camaro but since I'm going to end up getting a new Camaro anyway I might as well wait to put the LS7 in the new one instead.

...........can't wait....

so if the they end up with an LS7 on the build sheet as a dealer-installed option, i guess that extra LS3 can replace the 4.3 in my truck

*KILLER74Z28* · 11-07-2008, 09:21 AM

Anyone find out what size the rubber is on the back; and did I mention I so want those wheels???

99b4c · 11-07-2008, 03:13 PM

The LS7 Camaro is the best one there IMO, wish I was there to see it in person. That rear blackout looks perfect on the 5th gen.
