GM will do to the Camaro what Ford has done to the 2015 Mustang it'll be BUTT ugly and most likely lose sales to the point they cancel the car AGAIN IMHO.

....Z06 will offer the LT4 S/C powerplant. It will eventually be used in the Camaro at some point in the next Gen.

It all boils down to cost. What will have the lowest cost, a different/new engine or upgrading the existing engine? And there is more involved in the cost than just the price difference between the two motors.

At least GM can do is make a concept Camaro with all the goodies of the Z06 power plant.

That new Z06 2015 Corvette is just awesome. I'll take one in Silver please!
And 8-Speed! Would love to drive that auto in manual mode to see how it responds using the paddle shifters. Wonder if the dealers will allow test drives? A lot of these new performance cars are 'you gotta buy to test drive'. Don't blame them really, too many tire kickers. Admittedly me being one . |

I personally did not like the look of the stock C7 (for me it was kind of boring and plain) but this is more my speed. (Darn thing looks like a pure race car.) GM you have peaked my interested. More info please.

If time has taught us anything first they'll need to show off a 6th gen. That will most likely have an LT1. Then they'll make the convertible. Then a year later they will come out with a 1LE,ZL1,Z28 or what ever. There's a lot of time between then and now so what those get is still up in the air.
GM has always said there is no rule in place that the corvette has to have more HP than everything else. Like the LSA in the current ZL1 and the LS7 in the Z28 both have more power in them then the cars that had those engines first. So there's no reason that won't happen again.

LS7: I'll disagree. The Z/28 has an even 500 where the Z06 had 505. I know....big whoop over 5 hp. |

,,if they put a N/A LS7 motor, which has been made a ton of times since '06 if my memory serves me correctly, which has payed for itself times over, into the Z/28 which is costing a ton... compared to a LT4, or another new DI motor,...a new fresh design that had recouped nothing as of yet...in a Camaro....the cost will be astronomincal. As if the Z/28 wasn't priced high enough. Not to mention placing a nex gen in a ZL1. Sorry, after seeing the cost increase trend as of late....the only affordable solution for the masses may be a TT V6....they are passing on initial investments like they did back with the original ZL1....directly to the consumer.

My guess is look at the Caddies to see what will happen. The current engines are closer to the CTS engines then the Corvette engines. I imagine thats probably going to be the same. They might pop up in the new Caddy line and follow in the Camaros a year or two later. But thats just my guess.
