Can '06 Z/28 run with these bad boys......
One of the Ford magazines tested an '03 Cobra, an '03 Mach 1 and for good measure, a '02 BMW M3 in the quarter mile.....they ALL ran in the 12s!
What motor will Chevy give the next gen Z/28 (without stepping on the C6s toes) to run with these bad boys???

If they give the upcoming C6 an even stronger motor than the current Z06, GM could always carry the current LS6 over into the next Camaro, plus it would save on developmental costs. I think 405hp would easily put a lighter, next-gen F-bod well into the 12's.

I don't see GM using a new motor in the C6 while giving the next Camaro the LS6 as a "hand-me-down". This isn't the way it's done these days. It's cheaper to simply, ahem, "de-tune" the latest Vette powerplant for use in other applications than to keep building 2 completely different V8's. Just look at the jump from the LT1 to LS1.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how Chevy steps up to the plate on this.
BTW...it's only a matter of time before people start swapping pulley/exhaust/chip on '03 Cobras and routinely start running ELEVENS!!!! YIKES!!!!

Z28Wilson is right on the money! It would be impracticle for GM to run 2 lines of engines, when one will do...
I like the idea of seperate engines, but I doubt the costs would make it even a consideration.

Right now Ford has 3 V8s in the Mustang, (really 4 if you include the auto and 5 speed versions of the 4.6 in the Mach 1).
How cool would a Camaro be with the choice of 3 or 4 V8s!

Things make a little more sense when you look at it realistically...

This is sort of a ..."what came first, the chicken or the egg" argument.
The Mustang, which is good for about 150,000 units a year has four different engines.
Is that because it can, since it sells so many more units than the F body....or is having so many choices one of the reasons it sells so many more units than the F body?
