It was the GTO making 575. Other articles say 500hp. Production Z06 is getting a 500hp 6.35L LS7 according to most of the connected sources.

Re: 500hp GTO picutres
well, the one article says its a 6.3, this one says its a 389, which is 6.5.
What I want to know is if there is any future in these motors, or are these just one-offs that will never see the light of day? Could we see a 450hp 6.3 V8 in an top of the line GTO or Camaro?

Is it? 389*2.54^3 = 6374cc
This looks to be a highly tuned special LS7 with 2 MAFS
Production LS7s will be 500hp motors with the normal single MAF.

It is my belief that the LS7 was going to be 6.4L (called 6.3 in some circles). 500 hp in a certifiable package is alot to ask of 6.4L.
AFAIK, the LS7 will be 7.0L. I wonder if this GTO has one of the old 6.4 "LS7" engines?

Re: 500hp GTO picutres
To add something positive....at least it is the right color to be labled "The Judge", and though I still don't like the extra "flash" (understatement), the original Judge was all about flash. 
Quick question....are we sure those are dual MAF meters? Look at pic #2 above.

Re: 500hp GTO picutres
I stopped and looked at yesterday also. One bad look'n and sounding ride if you ask me. Now let's see if they build it looking anything like that.
Side note: Out of the past 7 years that I've gone this year's cruise kicked major a$$.

Your wrong. The MAF is just fine and there are many tuner cars that pass emmissions using stock MAF and are carb certified.
