I agree with nards444. GM should just make a Camaro RS (what the LT/RS is now) with the DI V-6 and then an SS (what the SS/RS is now) but with a DI V-8. Refine both, make them more fuel-efficient, and add some new features to both, such as back-up radar (very helpful when backing out of a diagonal spot in a coupe) and body-color-keyed GFX and some new colors, like Desert Sand Metallic and Sunset Orange Metallic.

I had a feeling that that LSA was destined for greatness in Camaro too

The LSA would be a better choice to compeat with other brands. That TVS1900 has alot of potental too.

Most people don't need forged internals, also most never push an LS motor to its full potentental anyway. Would it be nice to have forged internals, yes, but to keep the price down keep it the way it is.

key word there is most. But I'm not looking at max power or max potential. I'm looking at longevity. and on top of that from what I read about the lsa it's at or very close to the max efficiency out of the supercharger. put a bigger one on there the engine life is cut in half and now what? got a big paper weight like i do in my back yard.

whose to say the new Z28 wont just be a handeling package or some nifty stickers on a body kit? Just a thought, maybe jsut another 6.2L or perhaps a nice middle model with the 5.3L from the trucks. They put them in the Monte Carlo SS and they ran like champs, 5.3 seconds 0-60. Not to shabby.

LSA just because the powertrain is in the GM parts bin. Now, if they so chose to do a limited run forged ver. possibly a ZL-1 w/ factory forged internals package that could raise the bar so to speak. (The ZR-1 of the Camaro world)
Non Forged LSA: Base Z/28 Forged LSA: ZL-1 Problem is it such a package would shove it into Z06 territory.. :/ |
