I would doubt that the "Hotcam" LS3 passes emissions.

Hasn't this been covered adnauseum.

 

has it? hasnt the 7.0 being phased out been covered adnauseum? isnt this a discussion forum?

 

Heck, I will claim that a Z28 is coming.

Not that I actually know. Well..sorta...not really...maybe...

 

An LS7 in a lighter weight 5th gen? Yowza! I'm a buyer....

 

Apparently not enough.

 

Some of you guys can be real jerks. Not everyone can be on this site 24/7. Geez

 

He's right. If you guys know where else it was covered here, be kind enough to supply a link for the guy. Otherwise...no need to be rude about it.

 

454 lsx ??

 

When is the next generation of Small Block rumored to come out? If so what are the thoughts on it?

 

GM is beginning to kick themselves in the rear already, again. Let's make this brand have a 9 model line up! Then, lets add 6 sub-models!! GM, stop. We want you around in the future, this isn't the way to get there.

 

Adding value to a program as it nears the end of it's lifecycle is good program management. I hardly see how leveraging existing powertrains to sell more high priced vehicles is somehow hurting the brand.

Guys keep in mind that the original article claimed that "Z28 will sit above the new ZL1 at the top of the Camaro line."

From what we have gleened from various sources and insiders so far on this website seems to suggest otherwise; that Z28 will sit between SS and ZL1 and be more in line with the Mustang Boss 302. That said, you can probably also take the "detuned LS7" comment with a grain of salt as well.

Not that an LS7 based, carbon fiber lightened, suspension tweaked version of the Camaro wouldn't be my ideal "Z28"...

 

Yup. If I were GM, that would be the direction I'd be looking to go with the car. It would generate nothing but excitement and people with the cash and interest wouldn't be able to resist themselves.

LS7 would do the Z/28 justice and at roughly 500hp would sit well between SS and ZL1. The only problem is if it was deemed too costly for the ZL1 it will certainly be too costly for a Z/28.

I think the best case senario if GM wants to keep the Z in the BOSS price range would be to make it the Grand Sport for the Camaro. Now that the ZL1 is here take the MRC shocks, brakes, electric steering and wheel/tire size combo and put it on an LS3 1SS with no option for sunroof or RS. Work on intake and exhaust (ZL1) to up the power to 440 or so to match BOSS and work on the weight loss like mentioned in this article.
