It seems to me GM shot themselves in the foot, the ZL1 should have been made with the LS7 engine. At $55K plus for the ZL1 they can't afford to put the LS7 in the car it would be priced out of its league. So why buy a Z28 with the LS7 at the same price? The 1LE should have been available with an engine option other than the LS3 426 HP. Haven't we've seen this before where GM is making bad decisions, look what's going on with Mustang in sales for NOV 2012 they out distanced the Camro by a long shot, why?

You can easily get to 657FWHP with an Edlebrock SC, or various SC; but those lightweight rods will bend past 700 fwhp. That ok in a Z06 vette where 3260lb/675=4.86lb/hp; but in a car at 3900 lbs that yields 5,77 lb/hp. Frankly an LSA pumped to 900 FWHP!!! in a Z06 seems to be a cheap route to ZR1 power on a diet 3260/900=3.62!. So to make a world beating Z29 they need to use an aluminum subframe and go on a serious diet. An LSA crate w/o sc goes for 10 k. SC'd 18 K?

Go pick her up...You will not be disappointed. Plus I just have a gut feeling there is going to be stipulations with that engine just like there was with the 1LE...but who knows . I picked mine up 11/28/2012. Still haven't stop receiving a bunch of compliments.

The Diesel is not listed in the Cruze though, that is supposed to be the first car it debuts in, this year. There's a few small oddities in there. I hope the LS7 isn't a mistake. I really want to think its a mistake , but AL and Scott are always so adamant there is still more goodies to come for the Camaro in this generation.
A hot-wheels blue, cloth interior 1ss/rs-1le with a LS7 would quite possibly be perfection. |
