What Will be Under the Hood of the Camaro Concept

Open Discussion

If we get a fully operational concept, what would be under the hood? What would you like to see under the hood, something radical or something production based.

I am thinking 6.0L LS2 with more than current production horsepower, maybe 450 - 475 hp.

Production based, but have better sound, via headers/exhaust. So they can rev it at the show and get people running over to see what it is.

Re: What Will be Under the Hood of the Camaro Concept

It would be nice to see one of GM's more production reality Supercharged LS2's sitting under the hood . A blown chevy accompaning fords blown shelby cobra would have more of a cool factor imo . Plus , a LS7 type engine is never ever gonna happen in Camaro . Cost wise this time around , I think the only way Chevy is gonna compete at the higher end of the ponycar wars is with one of those supercharged LS based engines theyve been toying with .

Re: What Will be Under the Hood of the Camaro Concept

An LS7 since it will pretty much be a concept, tubular stainless headers and exhaust.

Another vote for LS7, since it looks like Corvette will get the LS9. Although, it does look like the SS is going to get that. Meh. What do I know.

Nothing, since the concept is going to be cancelled.
