GM may offer a Base model V8 and use the mass produced 5.3 that would give low 300hp power range... hopefully for mid to high 20's
Up the option to the 6.2 LS3 and be in the low to mid 30's
HOPEFULLY, the general will give us a SUPER CAR Motor option. (so we don't have to buy SALEEN CAMARO's)
with the 6.2 S/C or 427
I believe this will be the v8 engine line up.

) the 6.2L s/c LS3 will make an appearance in the new Camaro. I sure hope that is true

But as of right now, we would get 400.
Although, like most people here, I hope GM has ended the bigger ***** contest between the Vette/Maro.
they are 2 different ***** of fun, and they attract 2 different markets...whats the problem in having the same hp...

Probably not in the minority, a 3600 lbs mustang with 300hp will get you in the mid 13s which ain't a bad place to be for some sporty everyday transportation that cost under 30k

As it isn't in my future purchase plans, I'm not sure which would be a better seller for the mid-range Camaro, a 350hp V6 or a 350hp V8. When you're settling for less than one of the top V8s, does two extra cylinders really mean that much?
Personally I hope Hot Rod is dead on and we get N/A 450hp and S/C 550hp versions of the 6.2L. But then I may be in the minority.

The Vette and the Camaro are two different cars with different backrounds and followings as someone else said. I for one am just going to wait and see what they actually do for the top Camaro and see what the price will be. I mean a used low miles LS-2 Z51 Vette will be what 35K by then. The Camaro has always been the affordable V8 coupe for the masses while the Corvette has been targeted for more race oriented group and older people.
