LS3... again
I know we've all speculated about what enegine they'll drop in the V8 and have ruled out the LS3 because it's not supposed to be ready in time, but I was bored @ work and started purusing the Chevy website to kill time and saw this info for the 2008 Vette:
CoupeCorvette2008 Coupe: Starts at $46,950* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Highlights: NEW standard 430-hp 6.2L LS3 V8 aluminum-block engine NEW available dual-mode exhaust system provides 436 hp and 428 lb.-ft. of torque... Now I'm probably just behind the ball on things because I don't keep up to date about GM developments as much as others here do; but if the 6.2L LS3 is in the '08 Vette... why couldn't it be in the '10 Camaro? |

Given that the G8 GXP will have it my guess is that we will find it in the Camaro as well. I sure as hell hope we do.

We know the V8 will be 6.2L and the LS3 has never been ruled out. Only thing is that Fbodfather said "forget all you know about engines." We're about 90% sure the LS3 is going in the camaro. It could be the L76 but with the information of the LS3 in the new GXP, it's even more likely for me that we'll be getting it. =)

The only engines that have been confirmed to be out of the picture are the LS2 and the LS7.

My personal belief on the subject is that the 'Maro will have the following
DI 3.6l V-6 for Base LS3 - 403 hp version of the GXP for the Base V8. Other than that, possibly Gen V in the future. And my guess is as good as anyone's for the Top V8 |
