ENOUGH IS ENOUGH…FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!

For months we have debated back and forth “The Top Dog will be THIS or the Top Dog will be THAT”.

I’m tired! I can’t take it anymore; GM will release the Info soon enough.

So speak now and forever hold your peace, or until they announce the SS or Z/28 as the top dog (or a combination of the two…Or maybe something new altogether).

Then you can bitch and moan about the decision made…and why your choice of Top Dog wasn’t chosen.

Now vote (on the pole) for the model / Trim level you think (or hope) to be the Top Dog.

Add a post to claim which one you voted for…and if you guess correctly, you can brag about your brilliance until the cows come home!

These are based of speculation, my imagination and a little silliness!

If you like one of these options, but think it needs to be tweek for your guess, state that in your post!

I choose the LS3 supercharged. I don't know about the HP rating, but if it's got 500+ I'd be happy.

I think it will be the LS8 (supercharged) in the SS trim. I think that the Z-28 will be a handling package, and the RS will be an appearance package.

hmmm....You do know the LS4 is a FWD engine, right? Impala/Monte Carlo SS?

Anyways, this should be interesting to see who's right, and who's wrong come reveal.

I voted Z28 LSA, but are there any advantages to the LSA over the s/c LS3/76?

i have a feeling that in the begging the top dog will be an LS3 with over 430. But eventually later we'll see the LSA once the new C7 comes out to keep the C6 some breathing while the Maro is out.

Well, the LSA is designed to be supercharged over the LS3/76. It has lower compression, forged crank (and rods, I think...), and such. I'm not sure if larger head bolts and the heat-treated heads carry-over from the LS9, but there could be those too. Again, the LSA is just beafy from the outset, for supercharging, where the LS3/76 is NA.
