You guys are missing the point on stuff like this. If they detune it, that's a win-win for everyone. They sell it cheaper, insurance is cheaper, and then you can easily/cheaply modify it to make all that power again. You'll still have all that power, but it will cost less.

LS9 ~638hp/604lb-ft
LSA ~556hp/551lb=ft The LSA is Not a Detuned LS9. They share a basic LS3 Block but ther are significant differences. LS9 gets forged internals that the LSA lacks. It has a physically larger S/C and a larger Heat exchanger than the LSA LSA ---> LS9 I would be shocked if the Camaro gets an LS9. I think we can hold out some reasonable hope to get an LSA in one version or another. |

I seriously doubt the 3.5 will be the base engine..... lest we forget, Bob Lutz and I even remember Scott mentioning there will be 2 - TWO - models offered at launch. Now, the disciples have already seen and driven what we've confirmed to be the 3.6 VVT DI through those pictures from the disciples meet. That leaves only the V8 as the other model.
Add that to the fact GM is considering the turbo'd ECOTEC as an entry level engine below the 3.6 (which makes 260 hp instead of the anemic 3.5 V6's 220), I think R&T is blowing smoke up everyone's kazoo. |

SEE POST#26 by CamaroSpike23
the LS3 i can almost assure will be the base v-8 option, unless GM pulls a freakin rabbit out of their ass and drops a gen-V motor in there and can keep it to $30,000.00 which i doubt will happen due to the fact that the camaro has never gotten a motor that was better than the vette, i would imagine that the vette will recieve the first of the gen-V motors, then it will be passed down to the camaro like usual.[/QUOTE] I've read in past posts that fbodfather says we will be pleasantly surprised with the Camaro...I believe I've also read another unrelated post that mentioned there was a good possibility that the Gen V motor would be ready for production by year-end.......crossing my fingers, I'm hoping that both may be related??? |

I'm all about tradition and all that, but as long as I can get my 3.6L DI V6 I'll remain a happy camper.
