If it is an LSA, I really hope you guys dont increase the boost too much...for your pistons and wallets sake. If it was up to me, it would be an LS7 with better gearing, suspension, and brakes. Different body pieces like we see, and a better standard tire wrapped on a damn good wheel design.

I've been waiting for someone to finally spot this thing. Very cool.

@ChevyCobb, isn't the LS7 1). discontinued, 2). hand built, 3). exclusive to the Vette? I realize people love the motor but it's not happening.

It's not an '09 car. It won't be out until next year because it's still being tested.

1.) Not yet. Z06 production still going.
2.) Cant you still buy Crate LS7's? Why must they be hand built?
3.) LS9:ZR1 as LSA:CTS-V as LS7:Z06?
yet everyone wants an LSA/9
LS7 is lighter, and might cost less? Cut out possible GG tax, lighten the front up, pedders suspension with better tires and higher than bottom shelf brembo brakes.
Could be a track monster right from the dealer and not be as high of a premium.

I can't believe they aren't going to have the components and bottom end be forged.I actually believed that Chevy would forge some stuff. I mean powder-coated forged pistons, come on GM need more than that. It's one of the huge selling points on the gt500, it's all forged. Can mod the heck out of it without having to worry about to much. Considering the weight the the Z28 will pack and no forged components...does GM actually think this thing can compete with the gt500 that weighs as much as a Camaro SS?

you can't buy a crate LS7. I think you could buy a crate 427 which was similar, but not an LS7.

I'm with ya.
I also think that the fender emblem reads "Supercharged".
As to why they're covering the Chev emblem... who knows??

I'm sorry the use of the term "Vtec Mustang" offends you. It could be called the "Japanese Mustang", or the 'Mazda Mustang" owing to the Mazda engineers who worked on it, but I prefer "Vtec Mustang" because that's what it is - electronically controlled VVT.
You do know that the L99 has "vtec" too, as will most likely the next generation of LS engines.

I'm not here to argue with you over immature comments. There's no need for bashing, it only tarnishes the Camaro5 name and what it represents to real enthusiasts that post here. Control yourself, there really is no need to represent Camaro5 in this manner.

maybe they will be a special color, or in black chrome or something along those lines.
