It's all just speculation. you stated it as fact, and that's just miss information right now. until it's from the horses mouth it isn't fact. Again things do change. What doesn't make sense to you might make sense to someone behind the curtain. we don't have the whole picture. Maybe just maybe some peoples speculation is right it will be the lower end of the LS9 with the top end of the LSA. . .it's still speculation. They were developing the LS8 for a while. maybe with the rebirth of the z28 they will introduce the ls8. but the last official information about the ls8 was it was scraped. but you just never know until that press release is official. that's all I'm getting at. |

My best guess based on no specific facts is that it will come in around 585HP with some variation of the LSA using the 2300 S/C instead of the 1900. Like I said this is strictly a guess and a wish on my part. Until the New York show in April, we might not know for sure. So step up and place your bets and lets see who comes in the closest to the actual horsepower.

Our beastie will be heavier than the pony and needs the HP to compensate. I think 600 HP is a jaw-dropping number for most folks, so I'm going there. It has the "Holy crap, I want that" factor. I just hope they managed to attain this given the innumerable variables, along with some outstanding handling characteristics.

595 to get 1/4 mile better than a GT500. Road course performance will depend on price point.

I went with #4. I expect the power to be above the CTS-V's 556, somewhere between 570 and 600. But I'm not willing to say definitively that it will be the LSA. It probably will be, but there is a reasonable chance that it won't.

Isn't the CTS-V essentially on par with the GT500 (or at most, a little behind), with 556 hp and ~4400 lbs? As for road course performance, I have no doubts to the Z28's superiority. There is a lot of potential thats untaped in the SS, and I doubt that was accidental.

GM is NOT going to give the new Z/28 more substantially power than the CTS-V for $12,000 less. It's just not going to happen.
People need to use the brains God gave them and look into past performance cars to find the answer to this question. The new engine is most likely going to be the LSA, and it will only make more power than the 556 HP the CTS-V has, if the intake and exhaust are slightly more free-flowing. I would guess a 10 HP bump to approximately 566 HP. GM has absolutely no reason to push the limits of the motor more than they already have (and for less money, even). This new Z/28 doesn't need 600 or 800 HP to be competitive and beat the GT500 performance numbers. It just needs high quality, wide, and sticky tires (read: not Goodyear F1s) and a great suspension setup for the roadcourse.
