at least we get the real numbers nowadays LOL, i just wish it was like the old days where there was a racing series that made production of these cars essential =/ at least we got all three makers in competition to give us, the consumers, the ultimate win
By the way...you gotta wonder, where will the line be drawn in these cars? 600hp cars from the factory, jeese...what about 800? 900?...dare we cross quad-digits 0_0 LOL |

OH, i just learned the LS7 concept Camaro that was shown at SEMA actually had a "slightly modified 586hp LS7" so obviously its very simple to push this thing beyond the LSA on all motor...ehh, looks like im swaying back in favor of the LS7 powered Z/28 again, im sorry there's just something about "all motor 427 Camaro" that sounds so magical

Ah man, now you got me thinking about how awsome it would be to have the old Z/28 302 back with 500+ horsepower xD

The Z-28 Motors of Old
Assuming that the Z/28 will not just be cosmetics and will be, instead, performance based, what available options, motor wise, are there that would be in the small block category (sorry, I have not kept up with GM motors)? I like what Vega had to say about the 302's. The Z/28s of old were relatively light and nimble. Putting 427 motors in them would make them as nose heavy as the GT500. A small block would shave weight and still leave the potential for supercharging it to power levels that are not destructive to the motor but very impressive on the track (I am thinking road course here). Thanks in advance for any light you can shed for me on the motor choices.
Jim
