Production will be limited to 1,000 units. The Shelby GT500KR styling features include a carbon composite hood with scoops and hood pins, a lowered front air dam, and 14-inch Brembo front brakes with functional cooling ducts. The 2008 GT500KR draws on styling features from the classic 1968 "King of the Road" GT500KR model, and includes 40th anniversary badging, racing stripes, and Carroll Shelby signature embroidered seats. The GT500KR's price is estimated to be around the $52,000 range.

Best I could find was through Nextag that puts the 08 GT500 in the low 40s
or Yahoo Autos put the national average at just under 45k

Our bet is on no matter what One tankful of premium 93 octane gasoline for our new Camaros



While searching for this I found another post saying the LS3 is the base V8, leaked from a meeting in Duraham. The post was here on Camaro5.

I also noticed you were all over this Dragoneye...

The bottom line is, there are a lot of engines out there and we build all kinds of displacements and configurations at our plant as well as at the other GM Powertrain Facilities. I imagine that the engine combinations for the Camaro will be a closely guarded secrete up until the release of the car. What I can tell you is, I have all the faith in the world that we will not be disappointed. My own opinion is, there will be something for everyone!

Yep, I thought that might be the thread...but I overlooked that post. Anyways, he says Scott said they don't work together. But obviously Scott didn't say it was impossible, because he didn't post that he was assured it'd never work.

Which leaves my theory to be plausable.
Oh, and let's make that an imaginary tank of gas, huh? I don't know what the price will be when we find out this juicy info!

Maybe you're joking...but I'm just going to say this in the event that you are serious...

This would be rediculous...And I'm with Dragon on getting the LS3 (at least that's what I'm wishing for)...Also, with the information about the L76 being specific to cars manufactured in Australia, the LS3 is making more and more sense. I don't know enough about engines to talk intelligently about DOD/AFM...whatever you want to call it...I'll be completely honest, though, in saying that if DOD/AFM isn't possible in the LS3 paired with a manual trans. then...I don't care one bit. The only way that I would actually like DOD/AFM is if it would only activate when sixth gear was engaged. I wonder how that could work...Anyway...I'm tired and I'm sorry if my thoughts are not entirely coherent.

Yeah; I forgot the L76 is an Autralian engine. I stand by LS3 as a base V8 engine. I think it's possible that Camaro can get high teens in the city and high 20s on the freeway, so I don't know that AFM/VVT will be necessary; they would just add to the complexity of the engine. I think the trucks need these more than the cars do because of their weight, and what-not.

Isn't the L76 made in Mexico though? Used in aussie cars sure. but that doesn't have much to do with anything
