First of all I'm new to this fourm and ran across it researching the 09 Camaro. I had a 2002 Z-28 and after selling it I told myself when the new Camaro comes out I would buy it.
Now, for what I have been reading about the know facts on this post I see there some that say the LS2 will not be offered as option choice. Here's what Edmunds Inside Line says.
The new production Chevrolet Camaro coupe will go on sale in January '09. The production convertible will follow in October '09. They'll be built on the new Zeta rear-drive architecture, which is a very refined version of the current platform. A V6 version with about 250 hp will be the base offering in both body styles. The LS2 V8, with 400 hp along with the familiar Tremec T-56 six-speed manual, will be the upgrade powertrain. GM insiders tell us there are already special editions planned. One will be a super coupe, perhaps called SS, powered by a 505-hp LS7 V8. Yes, the same engine currently available only in the Z06 Corvette.
