What Will be Under the Hood of the Camaro Concept

Re: What Will be Under the Hood of the Camaro Concept
GM usually likes to show future engines in concepts so I'm going to go with this.......
the LS9 6.3 V8 (It's probally going to be a 6.2 or 6.4) but.....It will have DOD and get 26mpg highway and pack 440hp........First use of this engine would be in a Corvette.........
If I'm guessing right anyway a wink could be given if I am close
Hey Brandon ^ that makes 3 websites I can now think of that we visit regularly

My bet is on an LS7 being under the hood. Concepts are made to draw attention, they aren't going to stick another run of the mill LS2 under there. I could see maybe the blown 6.2, but I still think the LS7 will be under there.

Engine not a concern.....it'll be badass what ever one they choose to put in there.
From an enthusiast view, hopefully room and lots of it, also a PCM that will support large amounts of HP.
Getting sick of these cramped engine compartments and PCM's that can't compensate for boost from the factory.
So all those over there at GM, yes we mod the crap out our cars, let us have some room to do it, both in the engine and in the PCM!!!!!
Thanks,

Re: What Will be Under the Hood of the Camaro Concept
What I'm hoping will be under the hood? 100% of the engine. Not 75% of the engine under the hood, and the other 25% under the cowl panel.
Methinks this may be wishful thinking.
This makes me wonder something else though: thinking in terms of "if it goes retro," I'm curious to see how they execute the cab forward design while keeping things in proportion to the 67-69 model, and have it still look "correct."
