???

If it's real I'd like to hear all the engine specs. Only 30 extra hp though.

badass :)

that would be tight if it was real!

It is real, been real for a while now. 2008 the C6 will have the LS3 30 or so hp increase .

How is that not real? Those pictures look about as real as chads identity to me.

Only thing I dont like.. Those rims look stupid as hell, talk about taking 4 steps back.

cool

i like the rims. the design makes them look bigger than they are, and those types with the skinny spokes look good when the car is rolling.

as for LS3...whats the car gonna be called? ZO6 1/2? or is it like ZO5. im assuming its more of a mix between a base and a ZO6.

IMO its getting really old, all this new corvette ****. keep it simple, base and ZO6. the SS or whatever theyre calling it with the LS8 and then the rumored LS9 or whatever it is, i cant keep up. and now they gotta a LS3?


come on. move on to a new letter. LZ1 baby!

its gonna be R dude


LT then LS then LR

just the rule hahahaha

I think there going to call it "Corvette" Base Model C6....................dur

ding ding ding

yea its prob the new generation motor? what diffrent about it compared to the ls2 powerd cars?

Yea the Camaro is getting the ls2, so the ls3 and ls7 have to be faster then a production camaro right?

..Yeah... like its always been.

The ls7 will be much faster. Tony, the LS3 gives 30 more hp.

Funny, It looks like GM almost made a mistake by putting the LS1 in the 4th gen Camaro huh?

Z06 >*

The camaro is NOT getting the ls2, The ls2 and ls7 engines will be dead and replaced by time the camaro is out. The LS8 and LS9 will be out then and will share life with the LS3 they will be the three motors as 2 will be in the camaro and one goes to the new vette coming out.

The LS3 has Displacement on Demand and is a 6.2 over the LS2 the rumor is its a 450hp motor but I guess its only 430hp. Search Corvette forums I sure they know alot of the info on the LS3.

Im sure they said the ls2 was going into the 5th gen Camaro...Im sure that the ls7 wont be faded out that fast since it just came out in the C6 and has been a very good engine, Im sure the ls8 or ls9 will come into play into the future of course, well they did fade out the ls1 when the c6 came out.

did not know that, but is that from GM them selves?

What are rumored engine options?

There have been several engines thrown out there for use in the Camaro. The only thing we know is that these engines are NOT in production now.

Rumored:
-3.6 Direct Injection DOHC V6
-6.2 LS3 (Due to replace the LS2 next year as GM's standard RWD V8 performance engine, aka Corvette engine)
-Supercharged 6.2 - Not much is known about the engine other than there will be a positive displacement blower sitting on top of the LS3. There are rumored to be three variants, two intercooled versions called LS8 and LS9 and an as-yet unnamed version w/o the intercooler. The first application of the 650hp LS9 is believed to be the upcoming Caddy Escalade V, with the Corvette "SS" or "Z07" $100,000 supercar being next.


(my thoughts) looks like they are going in the right direction :)

that was also from a year ago... much advancement since then... as you see in the more recent articles I posted.

Thats the second place ive seen where it shows the Z28 taking over the SS status, ie being the ultimate camaro.

i dont think that will be the case but it could we shall see what gm does

dudes, thats it, im buying a ford. all this GM numbers bullcrap and changing things every 2 years is really annoying. i cant keep up :(

Blame bush for his not wanting v8s anymore in cars :p

yea buy a ford cuz they sell so many cars

u buy a ford you DIE! jk...

Its the same block as the escalade 6.2 iron block but a alum block with that different heads and such! Same thing they did with the old 6.0 iron block truck and 6.0 ls2 thye say its going to be around 430-450

oh and i will be getting those wheels :)

Fine, Go buy a new shelby GT that only runs 13.7 for 40k price tag..........


Be smart and think, ford mustang has like 100+ differnt models and GMs V8s are only a select few so really there less compared to Ford and yet there all better....Gas and EPA ratings are changing so GM is working hard to get there V8s to pass so they keep being the best with small block V8s. If we had it calebs way the C6 would still have a LT1 in it.

the LQ9 which is LS based is in the 06 Escalade makes some nice power, 345hp I believe, we have a K&N on that sucker 5 extra hp, oh snaps.

lol. come on, you think i was serious?

Who knows with you sometimes.:D

huge engines in suvs dont mean **** to me... a 5000 pound thing is not a comparison for a nice engine.
