Yes, Watch for a pattern of the largest shit throwers who consistently throw shit that never sticks then they blame the WALL for being wrong not there shit.

What if the C8 gets the LT2 as an exclusive, the Mid engine is going to be a big deal for GM . Also may explain the survey that came out last summer about smaller motors and hybrids in Camaros.

What happens to future upgrades and engines with Camaro I think will depend on the success or lack of sales with this new LT1 V-8 Camaro. If it sells well and SS sales need a bump with upgrades, then for sure the SS get an LT2 or something else. The mid-engine Corvette will give Camaro more leverage and options without the "no, because Corvette..." argument.
I'm glad Camaro went with the best LT1- V8 in the LT1 instead of putting in a less powerful V-8 of some kind. It means the SS is due for an upgrade in the power department. Nothing wrong with guessing, speculating, throwing stuff on the wall. Good times and all good for Camaro. Finally, something new to discuss....lol.. |

What's a Camero?
The second sentence says US, the third does not.

Has an LT2 even been confirmed?
Off of the same block architecture, adding an engine that mounts the same, transmissions are the same, finished engine weighs the same and is simply internal changes for FE or performance is not as big a deal as an all new engine. A ton of calibration, yes. But structurally validating the body is less of an issue. If the LT2 is the Corvette "base" engine, I don't see it being any different than today where both cars get the LT1. Now the up level offerings is a different story. Also, does GM want to make an LT1 for the Camaro and an LT2 for the Corvette? That just makes the LT1 and LT2 both more expensive. And as GM is about profit, we can hope they pick the more cost effective solution.

Engine RPO codes are tricky. Today trucks have 2 RPOs for 5.3L and 2 RPOs for 6.2L and GM has no issues with mixing and matching those. The difference is that some have AFM and some have DFM. The differences between LT1 and LT2 are likely to be even less. Also GM has several plants building the Small Block V engines. Tonawanda, St. Catharines, Spring Hill, Silao, and even Bowling Green for the customer involved builds. It would be simple to have LT1 built in some locations and LT2 in others to avoid confusion and build complexity in the plant. Even though it might be simple to simply place the LT2 in Camaro at the same time as in Corvette, it is probably more profitable to do it at least a year, and probably even a generation later. At this point it’s more about revenue than it is about cost.

I think most here will agree the LT2 will find its way into the Camaro but I’m still thinking it will be in the next GEN. Also GM had no problem making the LS3 and LT1 until Camaro moved from the GEN5 until the GEN6 came out.. right now only GM
