I get that the Camaro started ending up with LS6 parts but I'm talking about a full spec LS6.
when the 02ss and ws6 were putting 350+rwhp down that pretty much means they were on par with the ls6.

The best LS1 dyno charts I have seen are in the 300-315 range which would be 350-370 fly horsepower.

...agreed mein herr, and a brilliant man once upon a time made that epiphany happen for me here on this board, and as Col. Kurtz said, it was like I was shot with a diamond inbetween my eyes....it became clear to me why they will not pursuit both models right now.

Your right, my memory was inflating the numbers kind of like fishing stories.

My apologies

Speaking of New York...

...perhaps there's something we've been waiting for, contained in this:

http://autoblog.ca/reader/news/gm-co...d-new-cadillac

"Besides the new Chevrolet SS sports sedan that we already know about, the other four world premieres from GM are a "refreshed" version of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro, which the company says "advances the design and performance attributes that have made it the most popular sports car under $50,000 for three consecutive years" ...

...2015 Z/28. Drop the ZL1. Use all that was learned from this engineering experiment and it's success to bring it to market. Make the flagship Camaro once again Z/28. There is no calculable corporate profit goal to have both. Go once again with the face of the Camaro. And let it be the standard bearer for Chevy.

No ZL1 should be top dog. It should be the all inclusive Camaro. The Z28 should be purpose built. Think ZR1 and Z06. Simple!

In the same way there is a profit goal for the ZR1 and Z06, why can't there be a ZL1 and Z28? Corvette will always be the standard bearer for Chevy.

GM has to plan the 6th gen better than they planned the 5th gen. Pricing else and performance wise. They need to follow the same format as the Vette.
