Lets not forget the mighty 3.4L!

 

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.

 

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.

 

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?

 

That was just wrong...

 

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)

Pretty please with a cherry on top?

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.

 

3800 is not encouraging.
