I can try to answer your questions though;

LS2 is dead. No more LS2.
Yup. Scott Settlemire has said this and so has a GM employee on this site (no naming names...the post is here somewhere).
As for the LS7, it has been beaten to death that it won't be available for our car. Much too expensive to apply it. And any top model will probably have some sort of S/C LS3...
Yup. It is waaay to expensive to build that engine w/ titanium push rods, etc, to put it into a Camaro at a low price. It is a wonderful engine, but they are going towards the LS3 and the new Gen V engines. A GM member here has also mentioned no LS7 in the Camaro.

The way it's designed...no T-tops...but we can still hope
You know...I haven't heard ANY speculation on this what-so-ever from and GM people....not from Scott, Lutz, or anyone...hmm....

Prices should be within hundreds of a comparable Mustang. starting around 20k and up to around 30k but shouldn't be any more than 31k.

Yup...as stated by Bob Lutz in a recorded video interview.

Maximum Bob has driven the new prototype: and he says it's awesome in all ways - even though it still needs some fine tuning. There's a thread around here somewhere: "Uncle Bob drives...." I think

Yup. He said key start. Don't know if that was for the prototype only or what. That's news too, I'd think.
Search around a bit...I don't know when you've last logged in, but there have been a few interesting tidbits.
More news....b-pillar confirmed by Lutz. They need it for the 5 star crash test ratings and insurance companies.

Other than that, no information has been released. GM is keeping really quiet on this one. They have to so the competition doens't learn GM secrets and copies them. This is all we really have for now. We do have GM employees on the site. They don't release any actual information, but can can wink at certain possibilities.
