If it's gonna cost me $42,500 to get 475hp, or $42,900 to get 505hp (without risking my warranty with a dyno-tune!!!), sign me up @ $42,900. And make 'er Black-on-Black. Here's my VISA #... BTW, LS9 (638) - LSA (556) = 82 hp. LS7 (505) - LS3 (426) = 79. So your toned-down LS7 already exists...no extra charge. |

Camaro is still out selling the Mustang.... Honestly how many people really cross shop between the two? Seems to me us car guys like one or the other and cant stand the other

Smaller blower, cast pistons, smaller cam. I'm not sure about the rods, but I'm willing to bet theyr Not titanium. Etc. If the lsa didn't exist and someone here suggested that exactly, everyone here would call them crazy. |

I, for one, was happy when Z28...or Z/28...was NOT used as a name for what we now know as the ZL1. NOW, we have a window of opportunity for THIS Gen Camaro for a REAL Z/28. And, although it's not a new concept, or even MY concept, the one outlined here by me is as close as is likely do-able, this time around, for close-to-BOSS money AND results... |

My mother is cross-shopping right now! She is 68 and still loves cars. I believe she has convinced herself to go with the Camaro. Ok I helped a little bit.

BTW, to those who use the excuse the LS7 is near its end etc., call GM PP and see if they're interested in selling you a truck-load of LS7s. I know the answer: "Where would you like them to be delivered?" "Are you sure you wouldn't like more...?"
As to "reading minds", I too am an enthusiast...and will spend MY hard-saved buck$ where I get what I want...and that, friends, is as it should be. My allegiance, and my wish? As stated by "the concept"...I was, after all, "involved" in the '09 still-born "program"... |
