Anything actaully new?
Each and every topic as of late is about what would you, or imagine if GM did this, or what mods do you plan, etc etc etc. Not saying these are bad topic by any means,... it's cool to talk to fellow enthusiasts about the "what ifs".
But what about the latest and greatest? Any more news on the LS2 vs LS3? Have they said anything more about a possible LS7? Any news on a t-top model? What about prices? Any new test drives? I know good news is only leaked information, and that comes to us intermittently. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm ready to hear something new!!!! Don't we have an actual GM employee on this site? Maybe he could throw us a couple bread crumbs,... cause all good pigeons know the longer you stick around, the better chance you have to snag a full slice of bread. |

Not much new on the engines. I highly doubt that info will be release untill the last possible second. i.e. late'08.
I can try to answer your questions though; LS2 is dead. No more LS2. 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... The way it's designed...no T-tops...but we can still hope 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. 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 Search around a bit...I don't know when you've last logged in, but there have been a few interesting tidbits. |

Right now it seems like most people's opinions are just speculations. Motor wise the things people say it will have a 400 horse power, 6 Litter LS2 engine. We'll see on the motor lol. I doubt they will put in a LS7 the first year it comes out. In the future that may be a option. (Just a speculation) Transmission wise that V8 will be offered as a automatic or manual transmission that will have a wide spaced gear ratio leaning towards very aggressive acceleration. So the LS7 will have to wait for more news unless anyone else has heard something more recent..
As far as the prices, I think they will be lower than most think. Put it this way. Chevy is still going to have to compete with the new ford Mustangs price wise with the 6 cylinders for the average American man. I actually looked into this a bit and went to a Chevy dealer near my house. Its called Freedom Chevrolet and my dad talked to the general manager about the new Camaros. He said Chevy will be trying to compete with Ford price wise but will be a little bit more expensive. I remember him saying these exact words, "Their practically giving those Mustangs away." If you look at Mustang prices you can get a 6 cylinder with a few options on it for 20k. The way he sounded I would guess the V6's would be 23-24ish and the V8's comparable to the Saleen Mustang. Again those aren't facts, but personally I believe what he said, so I'm not going to be surprised when Camaro's base model is cheaper than we thought. |

I think Chevy should have a weekly update on their site or somewhere. I hate being in suspense.

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. |

The LS7 theory was also tossed out the window by Scott Settlemire over on camaroz28.com. Basically, compared to what they can do to an LS3 and the new gen V engines its not worth the money to toss in that engine in comparison.

I think we should post a sticky thread where the first post is a list of confirmed details on the car. No speculation or rumors allowed. I think we'd be surprised at how little of what we think we know about this car is actually real information.
