I think too that people are forgetting that these are not going to be produced in the numbers that SS's are. If you want one you better be on the ball. The wait for many is going to be long.

They'll need to add the noise back in...with a honkus tube or something. The TVS blowers are quieter by design...and they're already pretty hard to hear in a CTS-V.

The LSA has more in relation to the LS9, but it does not have forged pistons. The LSA has cast hyperexplosive...I mean, hypereutectic pistons

Wow, if you look at these spy pics and compare it to the latest bumblebee 3 photos, they are damn near exact matches! From the nose to the quad exhaust! GM is giving us a preview of the Z28 with bumblebee...but for God's sakes please don't use bumblebees ass ugly wing! Do you think the gills will be opened up on the Z?

I just noticed that the tires look like Goodyear Supercar G:2's!! Same as the '11 Shelby with performance pack. That's a great start! They've got stellar grip.

So far, they're only on the 11 GT500...I think they're going to be fitted to Z06's soon. Only avail 20" size is 285/35/20.

GLBL WMR · 07-23-2010, 11:03 PM

How can anybody even speculate that the Z will pack an LS9? There's no chance in hell that GM is going to transplant the heart of the fastest and most expensive Vette ever made and put it in a Camaro. My money is on an LSA putting out 575-585.

Its either going to be the engine from the fastest, most powerful Chevy or the engine from the fastest, most powerful Cadillac.

It's got to be the latter. GM's got their work cut out for them, because the current LSA with the extra weight that comes with it isn't going to stand up to the GT500 very well.

I finally got my Camaro SS the way I wanted.. I am not even contemplating upgrading to a Z28. I am sure that it will be nice and have more/better features than my SS does, but I have a special bond with my "Rubye" now and I love her just the way she is !!
