I think it was said that ZL1 was about the same weight as an iron-headed 350. THAT'S BIG. Considering the LS1s weighed like 80 lbs. less than aluminum-headed LT1s, I don't see an LS3 as a monster, even if one adds another 100 pounds for a supercharger and all the ancillaries. Then it weighs just a bit more than LT1s from twelve years ago; that's not giving up too much mass.
That's still comparable to DZ 302s to my understanding...
Show me weights and I'll change my tune.
No argument here! (as long as it has a V8, lol) j/k

He stated "LS" (i.e. V6 model).
How in the WORLD would an LS9 Camaro not go for at least $60K? What - $20K+ for the engine; better driveline to cope with the torque, and all the coolers and crap so it won't melt to the pavement after a few laps. That's a nice dream though, IMHO.
You obviously did not look at the link.
