If they put cheap suspensions and brakes on it, it should have dropped more than 3k. So far for 3k less you get

Base radio and stereo
Base headlights
Base taillights
Non staggered wheels, all season tires
Any other interior options the 1ss has that the 1lt does not

If it has base suspension and brakes, I'd expect 33k or so.

The pictures showed Brembos but that may be optional.

I really doubt the LT1 will come with the SS coupe upgraded cooling package (diff, trans, outboard aux), since that's not even offered on the SS convertibles. We will see!

I still think blind spot monitoring should be standard on these cars.
At least it would probably help sway non-enthusiasts.

Maybe that will be the "Hey! Look over here" line for 2021.

I do think the 2020 changes and the LT1 will help sales. At the end of the day I hope the 2020 sells are very good to help push GM to continue the model and put the dollars in the designing a great GEN7.

Lets not forget the very high likelihood the upgraded LT1 engine (LT2?) that will be in the C8 going into the Camaro...

If you disagree in that bring highly likely, consider the power ratings of the competition and whether utilizing that engine has a high potential to increase sales. Investment will be little and implementation will be minor.

I doubt the LT1 will have the Aux coolers unless they modify the fascias to allow air flow.

The SS fascia directs air to cooler. The LT fascia does not.

Agreeing with both of you.

I will disagree for few reasons.

1. The LT2 hasn't even been released yet, this motor was designed for the C8 and GM hasn't even released official horsepower numbers or even the car it was designed for so I don't see it coming to the Camaro anytime soon.

2. History: When the C7 Corvette came out in 2014 it was the first car to get the LT1 motor. This was also when Chevrolet was doing the mid-GEN refreash on the GEN5 Camaro and the GEN5 SS did not get the LT1. It wasn't added to the Camaro lineup until GM released the GEN6 Camaro. Will the LT2 make it into the Camaro, I think so but more likely when the GEN7 comes out.

I would really be surprised to see the LT2 in a GEN6 Camaro platform but stranger things have happened..

The difference between the LS3 and LT1 was huge. It would have been a major redesign to put the LT1 in the gen5 Camaro.

The upgraded LT2(?) for the C8 would likely be a straight forward adaptation for the Camaro

But you don't know that. No one outside of GM does. Everyone on here is just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.

I would expect LT2 (if that is really the name or whatever) to go into the gen 7 Camaro. Not before.

The internet, in a nutshell.

This is all hypothetical and right now there is not even much information on the LT2.

My thoughts are with Chevrolet being 5 years into the GEN6 and 2 years into the refresh I would be surprised if they take the new Corvette motor and add it to a GEN that is on it's last few years. I still think it would be the kick off motor for the next GEN Camaro. I maybe wrong.. We will have to wait and see.. I think it safe to say it's not happening in 2020.

Of course I don't know that. Its logical though because its the same LT engine family.

Do I think Chevy will put the LT2 in the gen6? No.
