its a 6.3L 378 cubic inches with 430 hp, and 424 ft lbs of torque...so if this is the engine that in the 09 camaro's Im pleased. Id still love to have a LS7 under the hood. from what I hear its supposed to get up to 190 mhp, and 0-60 time of 4.3s.  |
I think it probably will be. Looking passed the "information leaks", etc, look at it this way. The LS3 is coming out 1 year before the release of the Camaro. That's probably not too much of a coincidence. Why would GM release the LS3 with the Corvette and then shortly after release the Camaro with an older engine? A Camaro with an LS3 is likely to be priced say 8,000 to 10,000 dollars under the base vette with the same engine (so like 33-35k ish). The vette will have superior handling, suspension, GPS, and to top it off is overall more of a "luxury" car. I'd say the Camaro can definitely have an LS3 and stay cost effective without stealing any Corvette sales or anything.
Bring on the LS3!
