True that...I've seen several cases of magazines contradicting themselves, really makes em look like idiots, either that, or just catoring to whatever the flavor of the month is or whomever pays em more. lol
Anyways...this is exciting/interesting news, but I'm not ready to give up my LLT just yet! I'm going to need to see more official specs and power ratings before I become too jealous of the 2012 engine.
Its not hard to get 330 - 340 HP out of the current LLT engine. That also puts you at around 290-300 TQ by the time you have those mods made.
If you check out the stock engine HP/TQ rating on the LF1, it has impressive HP, but its TQ rating has a long ways to go before its going to move the heavy Camaro any faster than the current LLT. 223TQ for the LF1 while the LLT makes 278 TQ stock. Will upping the displacement to 3.6 get another 50 to 60 TQ out of the engine? Honestly, with no other changes to the car, the "LFX" is going to need 330 -340 and 300+ TQ to really compete with and likely topple the fastest track pack equipped mustang V6s....as sad as it is to say lol.
But hey, jus to be talking power ratings like this for the V6 is still awsome as heck....can only imagine if the car weighed about like the previous gens did!
