I'm hoping that by the time the car is ready for production, we will see it with the 6.2 from the Escalade, and around 420 hp or so. I don't think I'm too far off with the thought, hopefully. The business case for the LS7 just doesn't make sense, IMHO.

Well all know you can't make the vette people mad and use their precious high end engine in the lowly camaro or give it as much HP.
Vette got the LT5-camaro didnt
Vette got LT4-camaro got a few only to clear stock and then with less HP
Vette got LS6-didn't want to **** off even other LT5 owners so it got a bit less HP
Vette got LS7-GTO only then was allowed 400HP. Even then it was the LS2 not LS6 so the vette people still had a shred of bragging rights

There is no way the Camaro will get an LS7. Even if it gets the HP it will probably be some other LS number. What numbers are left lol. Also by that time the vette will have gotten a boost in HP for it's top engine if not another engine.

Begun the HP wars have!

that is true above but in the old day of 69 was just as fast as the Vette. if they put some kind of real motor in the car like the LS7 i will have the first one (thanks Dad).

The Vette will hopefully get the 6.2 for '08, so I think a slightly detuned version for the Camaro isn't out of the realm of possibility, somewhere around 420hp or so. Hopefully.

Regardless of price?!?! Is this some kind of trick question??? Who here wouldn't pick LS7 regardless of price. Put some real world prices up there though, and I may go with a midlevel V8.

At least half of the people that voted LS7 are full of crap

It is mute because I will bet that the Camaro get's neither the LS2 nor LS7 (but that admittedly depends on when they get it out).

Oopps! In that case 500. I currently own a V6 auto and a V8 manual Camaros. My manual V8 has better gas mileage than my V6. No need for a V6. Thats me.

I vote for the ls7 but i don't think i will make 500
v6 250hp
rs 325hp
z/28 ls2 400hp
ss ls7 475hp

not voting because I am requesting that GM think about it seriously and offer a 300-330 hp LS engine.

THis with even a 5 speed manual and a much lower cost than the 400 hp Version, should sell VERY WELL, and that's exactly what I'll be looking to buy.

me too. But seeing as 6 speeds are now a normal part of life, its very doubtful we'd see a 5 speed anymore.
