When asked of manufacturing a Saleen versino of the new Camaro, Steve Saleen is quoted as saying "It's not legally official right now, but that's what we're hoping for."

Saleen further went on to reveal what very well may be the first confirmed reports of the upper-range engine options for the new Camaro. He has reported that a 6.2L 450hp V8 will be shared by the 2009 Camaro and Corvette. The Base V8 will probably be a detuned version of the same 6.2L engine. Saleen would like to upgrade the 6.2L engine to a base model boasting 485hp and an Extreme Supercharged version powered by over 600 horesepowers!
