Who is more excited here about getting a 500HP V8 LT2 potentially in the Camaro SS?
In all seriousness, i'm actually excited to see these thing tomorrow.

Would help differentiate the SS from the new LT1 trim (step up to an SS, get this V8) and provide a HP bump to counter Ford.

GM isn't going to continue to produce a performance version of the 6.2 in LT1 spec and another LT2 spec for long, in the name of cost savings, so if the 6th gen SS gets it, expect the "LT1" trim to get it also. Now that would be a real brain twister lol.

If there is a new and more powerful LT2, it would makes sense to update the gen6 now that its life cycle has been extended

If it is really true that GM is essentially not allocating resources for a full gen 7 Camaro program, then they should at least use some resources for LT5, LT2 power plants, that would actually be good enough for me. In 5 years I'd buy a Gen 6 ZL1 with an LT5 in a heartbeat.

I hope you are right on the HP number, but then your pricing doesn't match.

You think it will be at least as powerful as the Z06 for about 20 grand less?

I hope I'm correct as well but I cant see them going mid-engine and not trying to make at least 50+ more hp than a mustang GT...
