if they make the ZL1 they will put that ls7 in it. no doubt in my mind. also to guys you think that the price of the ls7 won't come down by 2009? technology will move forward and the manufacturing process will become more streamlined and that will drive costs down. so I can see the LS7 being in the car for less then 12k which is the price of the engine alone.

I've heard "LS3" and "LS9" engines mentioned...but nothing specifically.
I read an article in the Nov. issue of 'Motor Trend' which may "shed some light". The article was 'Chevy's secret Impala', and the engines mentioned may give a clue as to what will be available in the new Camaro. They are; 3.6 liter V6, 5.3 liter V8, and a 6.2 liter V8. |

I'm all about that 6.3 3-valve 470hp engine they tested that was mentioned in another thread on here.

The LS9 would be amazing but it's out of most peoples price range and I'm sure they'd rather put that in a Z06 and put the LS7 in the Camaros.

I just hope that the base V8 model will be a minimum 400 hp. We know GM will have to be competitive w/ Ford's GT at 25K. That would be a great starting point and then we could just move up from there.

I'm surfing late at night as usual. I'm starting to believe a post I read about these engine options. Dude says he has very reliable information that neither the LS2 nor LS7 are going into the new Concept and that they will, for sure, be completely new engines offered in the Concept. It makes sense to me seeing as though they are constantly woking on new engines...not to mention that we even have the diesels that will be coming available in two to three years. I'm not saying that they are going to put in a diesel engine. I'm the last person to know that. But, they really have us guessing. I'm sure whatever it is, they won't let us down.
