Please don't say that, you can jinx us.

They can leave the interior alone, I would like to see this thing "affordable".

Then to go further back with the GN/GNX a car that was rated at 260hp

people said that thing was more like 300+ that was more than what a C4 was putting out. Even though none of the cars above would outperform the Corvette people would only see the price per HP.

As far as handling the Vette was the winner. But at the dragstrip or at a stoplight. The GN and especially the GNX spanked the Vette.

So ive brought this up in this thread before but i didnt get much of a response, i'll bring it up again cause im still interested in this...ive always thought they should put the LS7 in the Z/28 rather than the LSA, the LSA has always hung over the Z/28 rumors and everyone's always backed it to the death but currently ive seen a lotta people swaying in favor of my oppinion in that we'd rather see the LS7, and here's a few reasons why i say so...

The LS3 has two supercharged variations produced by GM right now, there's the LSA which is a mild supercharging option added right to a stock LS3 and there's the LS9 which is a heavy duty supercharging added to an LS3 build with more durable forged internals, so first i say if you're gonna offer a supercharged LS3 in the Camaro, why half-ass it? Especially in the durability department. NOW as far as the LS7 goes, it of course is the LS 427 which would be an AMAZING marketing tool. Offering a 427 in a production Camaro is any muscle car lover's dream, also the LS7 has 505hp compared to the LSA's 550, but the LS7 is an all motor car and can most definatly be re-cammed to the 550 mark and new heads could put it to around 600 even (its been seen in the LS3 already, GMperformanceparts.com is offering a cammed and head-swapped LS3 with around 480hp so we know it can be done and mass produced that way) Also the LS7 has forged internals as well, another major plus

So here's a list of the advantages of offering the LS7
1. Everyone has always wanted a 427 in their Camaro
2. It can match the GT500 competition without a supercharger
3. It has forged internals so it will be more durable than the LSA
4. With very slight mods it can easily match or surpass the LSA's horsepower
5. If you're not content with your rediculous power, you can supercharge the LS7 to god knows where, LOL

I dont think the LS7 has forged pistons,only the LS9

walls are too thin to supercharge or a huge shot of nitrous. for the performance minded person the ls7 is a bad choice.

it would be better for them to introduce a new engine then use the ls7.

bring in the DI V8 (Gen V motor). better then lsa or ls7. could have smaller displacement then ls7 put out more hp and tq.

I hope with the metion of the Executive edition too, that the Z28 will have some interior upgrades. If it is going to be the LSA, or the

LS9

I really hope they put the ZO6's fat back tires on it. Give it more traction and i think they look better. Maybe i will have to get the Z28. Anyone want a IBM 2SS? ha ha.

You guys need to give up on the LS7. It's done. Over. It's WAY too expensive for any other car in the stable and GM has confirmed the hand-built engine is on its' way out. Also, the LS7 doesn't respond well to FI from a corporate durability standpoint due to the bored out thin walls. That was one of the big reasons GM didn't just supercharge it for the ZR1.

In summary, it won't happen.

CamaroScotty · 09-24-2009, 07:31 AM

I heard a rumor once that the black edition (maybe not called that) would eventually make it out with the highest camaro price tag ever.... just a rumor though....but I'd guess that would partially be because of what's under the hood.

snizzle · 09-24-2009, 07:39 AM

So what's this executive addition about? I missed all that.... is it Z28 related?

TLSTWIN · 09-24-2009, 08:13 AM

Forget about the vette......If GM is going to continue with the Camaro & also make sure it is the top pony car, then they have to make it hotter/better/faster than the GT500KR. If they do anything less than break even with that car, they have failed the competition.

The vette is a car that has a following and will always appeal to certain people, there is a mystique about that car and the camaro for that matter.

The vette should NEVER be slower than the MUSTANG, and neither should the top of the line Camaro. JMHO

If this is a limited offering which I'm sure it will be look for the price to be around 100'000 when the dealer gets their hands on it,maybe not all will do it but most will nearly double the asking price.
