You have to wonder though, when you hit the 450 HP mark, of how fuel efficient the car will be and how streetable it'll be for average joe drivers. That kind of power is not for everybody.

Very streetable, look what the LS7 Corvette is getting for mileage. As far as those prices that were posted, they are just what someone figures those packages would be selling for. As far as I am concerned, it is all guess work. as I stated before, the Ls2 6.0L is 405 hp. not 368hp. I am even thinking of putting one of the new engines in my 67 SS350 which is a pig on gas now. If I update the drivetrain, I will be far better off than I am now as far as mileage and performance are concerned. I think the new Camaro will have the hp. and prices to suit everyones' needs.
