What did I tell you... WHAT DID I TELL YOU!!!
From the fine words of the GM Blog and Mr. Lutz hisself:
"And for those of you who might say, “Well, the Challenger has 35 hp more,” I would just reply that we have a certified 1OO more on tap from the ZO6 engine, should the need arise."
Quote THE MIGHTY PACERX:
"400hp IS NOT the upper horsepower limit for the new Camaro."
Told ya.
Nyah, nyah, nyah.

Its a shame the 4th gen died before the new SAE ratings, I would love to see where they put the LS1 horsepower.
"It appears under the new SAE standards, the power of the Z28 has gone from 310 to 360 HP. We must have made a math mistake originally"

So lemme see if i get this...Lutz is basically saying that the Ls7 is there for use if the need arises?? That Chevy will consider using the Ls7 in the camaro??
Nice. With the GT500 having 475hp, i think the camaro would most definitly need the Ls7. Bob better keep true to his promise.

I wonder if an LS7 could be used for a Camaro... cheaply. I mean.. We don't need dry sump oil system, forged titanium rods, cnc ported heads..
I wonder if there could be a business case for it?

Its only a $10-15K upgrade, that I for one am willing to pay.
