Camaro ls3 news...true or false?
Ok over on ls1tech a guy posted that he was told by an insider that the ls3 will not be in the camaro until 2010. for 2009 it will be the ls2. Whether this is true or not i don't know...but it got me thinking!
If it is true how many of you would still buy one in 09?? Personally me i would probably get one because the ls2 is nothing to sneeze at! Those 05-06 GTO owners would probably agree with me.

I'm relatively sure it has been CONFIRMED that the LS2 is out of production and NOT being made anymore.
I'd take it with a grain of salt. I could see believing that the LS3 may not be in the first-year model, but I'd believe it would be a L76?? (the 376 hp motor) before believing that the LS2 is not going away. |

you heard your news but they aren't correct. I still think the camaro will have a base L76 then step up to LS3, may not have both at launch but it will happen

Personally I wouldn't have much of a problem with either three (L76, LS2 or LS3) though my fingers are crossed for the LS3. The first two are nothing to look down on, their both still great engines. The L76 has 362 @ 87 octane a little tweaking would get you an easy 20- 25 hp at 93 octane. + it also has DOD same as the LS2 and probably the LS3. It's just gonna be very interesting to see just what we do get under the hood, but I'll still most likely buy in 09.

I agree with everything that everybody has said here. IF the LS2 was put in the 09 model...and IF I was buying that year...I'd consider it, but I'd probably wait. Just because the LS3 is that much better.
However, it IS "still better then a Mustang", whatever engine they choose. I have Faith in GM. They've turned around, and with Lutz at the Helm, I am confident we won't be let down |

Didn't we just have a really big thread on this from one of our members here? I can't seem to find it anywhere, but know it's here somewhere.

No, I think it was within the LS3 Info thread...or one of those "LS3" threads...somehow the LS2 always seems to poke it's fugly pug into the LS3's limelight....:laughL

It makes more sense that the L76 would show up in the Camaro, given that by the time the car is in production G8 production will have moved to Oshawa, and the L76 is already in the G8(another Zeta car)- the tooling will be there and resources plugged in Zeta, while the LS3 is still being tested for this particular application. How old/new is the L76??? Any detailed specs??? Thanks!
