You might, but in something very limited and expensive like the Cobra R.

I don't think we'll see an Ls7 in the 5th gen either. Dry sump, titanium rods, etc....sounds a bit pricey and exotic. GM will probably limit it to their flagship vette and V-series cars. The GT's blown 5.4 as it stands now is definitly too pricey for the Cobra as well seeing as how the crate motor alone MSRP's for more than a 2004 Cobra convertible .

I think a sub-425-to-450hp N/A 5.4 4valve, S/c'ed low-boost 3valve 5.4, or N/A 6.2L (hot-rodded version of hurricane motor) is more realistic in the Cobra from a price point. And the 5th gen will probably have a 400hp Ls2 with maybe an SS package adding on 10hp. It probably won't top the Cobra, but it'll be available in a much cheaper z28, and should put a hurting on all the other mustang trims other than Cobra which is fine in my book.

 

I would think youd see this engine in the CTS before anything else . The rumor of the 500 hp M5 killer is not going away

 

If it can't be had in a Z06 "race-style" Z28 (not saying some other 420-450 HP engine wouldn't be fine) then it should be in a limited ZL1 model. It would cost, but still, it should be very limited and purposely built for racing.

 

The LS7 will be a specially made engine at a facility GM is setting up to hand assemble these and other engines. Much like Ford's facility hand assembling Mustang Cobra and Ford GT engines.

As you may expect, only top level GM cars will get this engine. Currently, that means Cadillac CTS-V and the Chevrolet Corvette Z06.

I have reason to believe each GM-NA division (save Saturn) will eventially have ONE car that carries this engine.

That means the GTO is a candidate (Holden Monaro is likely to get one).

That also means Chevy's F-body isn't.

 

Holy CRAP!

 

We've now got that covered

 

well isnt that interesting... back in october it seemed everyone but me saw that as laughing [not-gonna-happen] matter.

edit: its also interesting how many views that thread has

 

if the GTO got the LS7 that would be awesome

 

Here come Da Judge?

 

but now we know the gto and *cough cough* will both be on the zeta platform. so why not give the *cough cough* an ls-7 aswell?

 

Links dead.

 

sad face? I wasn't surprised or shocked by the link being dead.

 

LS7 in NExt Camaro.....

Did you guys here that Dodge was going to release a special edition V-10 Viper version of the dodge caravan? The back seats will even have race harnesses.....

 

..... :blah:

 

LOL - so where are they gonna put the engine - or will they widen the front to make it look like a hammer head shark and keep it FWD?
