Why you say "I've gotta go with". Unless that's just your way of saying "this is my guess"...which I kinda knew, but I was being sarcastic.

3.7L I-5 with 250hp from Colorado (I only say this because it is already set up for rear drive, although the Trailblazer 290hp I-6 could be cool)

5.3L V8 tuned up to 350hp for a Z28 type model (this would compete with a 5.7L Challenger or Mustang GT)

6.0L LS2 w/ 425 or more hp to compete with SRT-8 Challenger or GT500

I know it seems conservitive but GM has been going this way anyway(look at the Impala's styling )


Just what I was thinking.

3.0 V6 ~280-300HP
5.x V8 ~360HP (maybe? 300-420 seems like a big jump)
6.2 V8 ~420HP
6.2 SCV8 ~540HP

6.2L LS3 w/ VVT is definately going in the V8 model

Then the high end model will probably just add some ground effects and a blower and add like 150 hp...

I dont believe the camaro will be getting the LS3. Which it might but may be limited HP because of one reason Big Brother. Which i might get fooled but im saying corvette will always have to be the top dog. Which it could share the LS3 with the base corvette.

98-02 'vette/'maro both had the exact same LS1 engine. Might have been "rated" lower, and a different exhaust setup, but its was the same thing. Several LS2 (remember that engine?) GTOs have dynoed above vettes on the same day/location.

Your beliefs are overturned by factual history.

And big brother generally refers to the gov, not a corp.

I think it will be a slightly changed version of the LS2.

Or, it will be the LS2 as is today, and the base Vette engine will get bumped up to 450.

I say it will be one of the new 3 valve head motors N/A, w/AFM. As far as what designation said engine will get, LS?????? who knows, it'll be LS-something. I don't think I like the dual in-block cam idea, so I'm gonna say single cam in block, 3 valve head at least 6 litres. I don't see the benefits of having a second in-block cam, and all the extra power it will take to spin it, though I could be wrong. That's my .02!

ls3 will take over for the ls2 starting with the 2008 model year.

6.2L AFAIK that is the only piece that is confirmed.
