Base v8 = LH6 5.3L DoD 310? hp.
upgraded V8 = LS3 450hp.
Camaro SS = a whole lotta Hp. 
How is that? |
The latter two would work for me as well...but I do have a question...
Why would GM put out a high performance V6 engine which as I remember Scott saying, could "put out just as much hp as an LS1 (and save you money on your car insurance)" only to have a Base V8 = 310hp? That does not make sense to me.
From what I gather, the hi-po V6 should put out about the same hp as the LS1, which would be around 320-335hp depending on intake. If GM puts out a V8 matching the V6's hp, why buy the V8??? I wouldn't want a V8 when I could save on both gas and ins by buying the V6. I don't think the base 310hp V8 would sell.....anyone else?
