Saleen: I hope I don't get in trouble with GM for saying this, but they're using a 6.2 liter 450 horsepower engine for the premium V8 in the 2009 Camaro and the base Corvette. The base V8 will probably be a detuned version of the same 6.2. So we'll just upgrade the 6.2 liter V8 to Saleen level specifications. We're going to upgrade the 6.2 liter V8 if we're given the legal chance by GM. Our base model should have around 485 horsepower, and expect our Extreme Supercharged Camaro to have over 600 horsepower.

Hmmm. Yup. This was posted waaaay back. I was a little aprehensive at first with Saleen (the Ford guy) and all. When Scott clarified rumors were not true, I dismissed the entire article. Well...we know there was some truth to Saleens message. Now I wonder if he still has anything in the works w/ GM. Heck, I didn't want to see a Saleen Camaro. Now, I'm thinking it might be pretty cool. The more "versions" for us to choose from, the better. 600 supercharged horses??? Might be kinda nice. I seriously wonder how they plan on getting all that power to the ground.:headbang
