Or how about this one. 06 GTO to possibly be built in Mexico. Ask them about that one also. Poser!! funny, very funny stuff.
I'm not sure who you are, but if you ARE a GM employee....or a supplier to GM, you should NOT be talking about the LS7.

We already know about the LS7.

It's 6.35L and makes 500hp and it's going in the Z06 next year. And possibly the GTO and CTSv.

I don't think NikiVee works for GM or a supplier. He just seems to have connections.

And it looks like the next Camaro is going to look like the SS concept car. Which could really be bad, unless they get the proportions right.

Re: Query to Chevy about Camaro and 2 responses ...

I was keeping my fingers crossed for a 7.0 Motor LS7. I find it cool that with .3 liters more, they can get another 100hp.

In other news, and BigBlue just brought this up...Why should you buy a CTS-V when you can get a GTO with the same power for less? I think its time for Caddy to step it up.

One thing it shows is that the LS2 is not nearly maxed out at 400hp in 6L.

I don't think there's any motor to stepup beyond to from the LS7. It's the most powerful engine GM has ever made. I wouldn't worry about it though. Now each division has a halo LS7 car, Chevy, Pontiac, and Cadillac. There's plenty of reasons to buy each one.

I wouldn't worry about him Red. Remember he questioned both you and Guion when he 1st came here. He probably knows someone who knows someone who works in the tech center, or works for a 1st tier supplier.

BTW Red how hard does the LS7 pull?

Because the CTS-V will hand an GTO it's butt on a road course and also I would rate the CTS-V WAY higher on a visual impact scale.

BINGO!

427 c.i. just sounds right in a Corvette.

Because their two completely different kind of cars for two different kinds of people? And I'm ussually one to classify a broad range of cars together.

A 4-door luxury muscle semi-prestigeous marquee sedan won't be getting many sales stolen from a more affordable "cheaper branded" 2 door muscle coupe.

Thats like saying why get an M5 when there is an M3 for cheaper.

I say the more performance cars we have the better
