New poster here. I'm a Mustang guy who will more than likely trade in for the new Camaro when it comes out.

I really hope the engine offered for the Camaro is in the 450+ hp range. Though I have read that the base V8 engine in the Camaro will likely be the 5.3L that is found in the current Impala SS. Has anyone else heard that?

I don't know how realistic that is since I don't know my GM engines quite as well as Ford engines so forgive me.

Either way I think the Camaro needs something to compete with the Shelby GT500, and I have read rumors of a SRT-8 version of the Challenger too. Both will have at least 500hp. So it stands to reason that a high performance Camaro should have around that same amount.
