But personally I don't think the "majority of the buyers" will be disappointed and pissed if Chevy drops the LS2 in there - I will be. But I doubt we, the enthusiasts who read up on this stuff - count as the majority. Most people say how fast...and okay. Look at all the Mustang buyers right now... 
And btw, As I said above I HIGHLY DOUBT an LS2 will make it's way into our car...lots of rumors have it that the LS3 is going into the Corvette this next model year - both N/A, and S/C...so I am confident in saying bye-bye to the LS2, amazing engine...but not amazing enough lol! |
True, true, and true. I forget that a great deal of the buyers are not going to be such enthusiasts like us. They, right now, believe that the LS2 will be the standard engine and probably haven't heard anything about the LS3. So, could it happen that they will still sell? Sure...I'll give them that. Of course GM will sell a brand new 5th Gen as the 09 model, but my prediction is that they won't sell as much if everyone knew that the LS3 would be the standard engine the following year. There still will be a lot of upset folks wanting the LS3 in their Camaro and it won't be available for the next model year....and they will have been waiting patiently for what...3 years???
I guess I'll be fine w/ waiting another year. I had thought about that as well...to save more cash. Now, I have another reason. Wait to save more cash and also to get the better engine. Ok by me.
I guess the "hell of a lot of people being pissed" would have been the die hards that have been waiting for 3 years, have the cash in the bank, and now are able to buy the Camaro...but with the LS2...when the LS3 is in the back waiting to be released the following year...making that 4 years of waiting.
