Because virtually all of their V8 motors tick for one reason or another... and yes, the 5.2 actually does have a ticking issue....maybe not the same as others...but it does exist.

Going from Alpha to Alpha II, I bet there is some performance increase but I doubt it will be as big. LT2 will improve performance as well but I don't think it will get it to 650HP ZL1 level.

I think the C7 Camaro will see a significant change, namely because I think the opportunity to do it will exist. For the first time ever, we could actually see a turbo powered V8 Camaro. There's also the serious potential that we get an LT5 powered 800hp ZL1. Even if they touch nothing and leave it at 755hp, that's enough power to match or best anything from Dodge or Ford.
The LT2, if it in fact goes into the Camaro, adds roughly 50hp...I expect it will actually see more...

You have to load it with practically every option to get it to 90. Widebody package, technology package, premium paint, premium leather, premium package, painted satin black graphics package
I am still going to the guess the base GT500 splits the ZL1 and ZLE in MSRP.
I keep going back to they undercut the Z/28 MSRP by 12K with the GT350R. I think they know where this car needs to sit MSRP wise. |
And yet, the ADM for every GT 350 and GT 350R was roughly 20-30k over MSRP. More to the point, there is ZERO chance that the base GT 500 sits anywhere near a ZL1. Even at MSRP, there is no way they are coming in anywhere under 75k.....just don't see it happening in the slightest bit.
You guys keep assuming there will be more than one model, and I honestly dont expect there will be. The fact they opted to speed limit it is why I don't believe there will be. What you see is what you will get....
As for the RedEye, yes, the MSRP is 73k..... but good luck finding one at that price... like I said, they are so in demand you aren't paying less than 90k for one. The only reason I'm not driving a Hellcat Charger atm is because I couldn't find one within a 700 mile radius that was willing to deal, on even a 2 year old brand new one...
Redeye's available on lots...

Only one is under 80k...and it has almost 2k miles on it...
