Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D

You stink.

:lol:

SS to have 140hp 2.2 Ecotec, Z28 to have the new 2.4 making 178hp, but you gotta use high octane...bummer, I know.

Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D


while that is sooooooo wrong for you to say as a teaser.....


It can be viewed as you confirming both a Z/28 and an SS model :)

Now If we can only find out if the Z or SS is going to be the top dog..

Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D

That's just mean Scott.....I love it! :thumb:

Any idea when we might actually find this out? I'd guess NAIAS 2008, and I can see why that'd be something to keep quiet as long as possible......but it'd still be nice to know.:D

1.21 gigawatts of power...
which is equal to 1622636.4 hp


gotta love that delorean

Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D

ya really, thats not nice!!!

Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D
:no: :no: :no:

We're coming to getcha!!!! :mad: :devil:

SS to have 140hp 2.2 Ecotec, Z28 to have the new 2.4 making 178hp, but you gotta use high octane...bummer, I know.

Ecotec? I heard through the grapevine that GM is scrapping the Ecotec and going back to the iron duke for both the SS and Z28 models.

anyone know what the ss, z28 have as a hp rating?

I'd say 400 or so for the SS and 450-500 for the Z/28.

anyone know what the ss, z28 have as a hp rating?

Let's just say that Goodyear stock will be a safe bet. :D

Those hp numbers remind me of the early eighties Camaro's. I remember my neighbors got a 4 cylinder Camaro, :lol:

Hell yea. Bring back the Iron Duke.

Hell yea. Bring back the Iron Duke.

Lets not forget the mighty 3.4L! :D ;) :p

I remember my neighbors got a 4 cylinder Camaro, :lol:

I remember those. I wonder if there are any left that haven't had small-blocks stuffed into them?

Wait, wait, wait...so Scott, the Camaro is far enough along to have the hp numbers finalized.

Wait, wait, wait...so Scott, the Camaro is far enough along to have the hp numbers finalized.

I think some of the future Camaro power plants have been in development for over a year now......so I'd imagine they should be getting pretty close.

Just thinking about that makes me all giddy.

Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D




wow . . . That is not nice at all. Scott I wonder if you have seen the production car yet? Just yes or no, thats all I'm looking for

LOL The Iron Duke would add insult to injury to the Firebird camp.

Scott, can we at least know when you will tell us? Please?

Yes. I do.

No. I won't tell.

:D :D :D

That was just wrong... :death:

Scott, can we at least know when you will tell us? Please?

Ok, I'll say this because I'm pretty sure everyone else in here will find it WAY too gay to actually say... (rhyme was not intended)

:::innocent singsong voice:::

Pretty please with a cherry on top? ;)

:::/innocent singsong voice:::

The rumor on the new base Vette is to be around 435-450 fwhp. LS3.

If they use this as the top model engine, and keep the weight down to 3500ish, then the top Camaro would be able to handle the GT500 stock for stock.

The LS3 has been confirmed for 2008 Vette, and the other posts seems to suggest the 5th Gen will not be bloated like the Ford.

Combine this with Lutz' statement that he isn't worried about the GT500, then I'd say that the LS3 sitting in a 3500 pound Camaro is a very high likelihood.

Clever catch !

I believe it has been suggested 3800 is the new target weight.

i haven't seen that antwhere. I thought it was rumored tp be a little lower.

I believe it has been suggested 3800 is the new target weight.

3800 is not encouraging.

I believe it has been suggested 3800 is the new target weight.

Commodore is about 3900, if I remember right. It seems like they could save more than a hundred pounds, what with Camaro being somewhat smaller and all.

I believe it has been suggested 3800 is the new target weight.

What it ends up actually weighing - I don't know. But that is NOT it's target weight.

so the real target weight is....


3500?
3600?
2800?
j/k

any clue for us?

choice A.

3500 is in the ballpark of the 05+ GT, which I guess is the new standard.

im thinking the SS will be the top dog to go with the history... especially this being all retro and such.....

just my 2 cents.... would be nice to see the Z get the ls2ish and the ss get the ls7 :D

I hope the SS will be the top dog and get the LS3 and the LS7 or whatever it will be and the Z28 to get the 5.7. Because if you remeber the first gen had the SS350 and the SS396. I hope to get a RS/SS LS3 fully loaded coupe for 34,000 and lower.

So you're saying that the Z/28 should be the SS350? BTW, GM doesn't make a 5.7.

Where (or from whom?) did you hear that?? :rolleyes: We might have to "live with" ~3800 lbs, but I don't know when that was ever their target?!?! :irk:

When did this thread turn into another "which car is top-dog" thread???!! :confused: Let's not even get started on that in here!!! ;) That horse is so dead, it's not even funny :rolleyes:.

Don't spoil the fun, Pete. ;)

No one at GM has hinted at the target weight publicly yet. This is all pure speculation.

didnt the 2005 silverados have a 5.7 in them. All that i am saying is that the Z28 has been the base model V8 for long as i can remember and the SS has been the top dog. 1st gen z28 302 , SS 350,SS 396,.

no they didnt, the closest they had was a 5.3 or 6.0 motor. And the first gen and even later camaro z28s where far from "base model v8's". The 1st gen z28, which was essentially a race car for the street, could rape a ss350, and come close to a ss396, while raping it around a road course. The ss camaro was dropped for a long time and wasnt even brought back untill 1996 where it was what (imo) the z28 should have actually been...
But back to the thread...

anyone know what the ss, z28 have as a hp rating?

more than what I have now, and thats good enough for me :D

2009 Camaro HP numbers-
2009 Z28-500
2009 SS-425

...just a guess

Its called brake horse power.

NOT FWHP. the corvette is not front wheel drive.

And yes i know you meant Fly wheel, but technically, thats not correct either.

^^ That would make Joe a happy boy.

i vote other way around.... but w.e time will tell

You're not close enough for us to even have a good discussion on this. You need to go to Camaro school, my man. :)

Might as well also send him to Silverado school. :lol:

Well i dont believe that the LS7 or rumored LS9 will find its way into a Z28 because far as i rember they havent been a big block in a Z28 factory, so if history repeats itself then what small block will the Z28 get.

Funny, seeing how neither the LS7, LS9, or any other engine GM builds right now for its cars are big blocks.


And there is a very good chance the Z28 will see the LS9.

The LS7 will not be in production by then……..so in a small way you’re half right ;)

:lol: SSRich, you got to stop buddy. Your killing me!

All that i am saying is that the Z28 has been the base model V8 for long as i can remember and the SS has been the top dog. 1st gen z28 302 , SS 350,SS 396,.Here we go again. :rolleyes:

sorry about that camaro joe i was just pointing out that i thought the LS7 or LS9. i thought the LS7 was a 427 big block that was in the Z06 so if you are saying that they are small blocks then why wouldnt chevy put a big block in the Z06. So you mean to tell me that chevy is whipping the viper with a small block and the viper has a big block V10??

and if i have to say what hp rating they will give the camaro i think it will be 425 but thats me.

So you mean to tell me that chevy is whipping the viper with a small block and the viper has a big block V10??

yup, but the SRT boys are upping the ante for '08 with a new 600hp V10 for the Viper.

The LS7 is a small-block 427. The main advantage of a small-block over a big-block is weight. The small-block weighs less, which means (assuming identical power outputs) that the small-block car will accelerate quicker, handle better, and have a better weight distribution.

And yes, the Z06 is whipping the Viper with a small-block, albeit a very large small-block.

i thought the LS7 was a 427 big block that was in the Z06 so if you are saying that they are small blocks then why wouldnt chevy put a big block in the Z06.

Why? Would you rather have the iron 8.1 big block boat anchor verses a LS7? Besides, the big block and small block distinction doesnt really apply with newer motors, look at the LSx lineup.

Sorry about that then because i looked at a engine in a Z06 i was wondering why it looked a little small because i havent seen a big block in a new car. because i know they are monsters in a old vehicle. Maybe a camaro will get a LS7 or LS9 and could be a ZL1 camaro. Well i hope chevy will put a 454 small block in the vette like the merlin jegs has with 600hp just put a super charger on it and leave the viper sitting.
