From the press intro yesterday Bob said it was Rick Wagoners decision as to whether or not it's produced. The girl doing the intro asked him but either he didn't answer or didn't answer into the microphone.

 

Put an LS7 in a Camaro, and I will be there, Chevy.

 

I posted twise, but don't tell anyone,

Anyway, first post I said build it with a V8 for the same or less than a Mustang even with 300 hp, and a usable back seat, and I'll buy it.

Second post said I am a Ford guy and will continue to be until they announce it will be built.

I think statements like my second one will really help their decision.

BTW, Wagoner sucks and I am one of the guys who said it will not come with the LS7, if it does, it still won't equal the Z06 in Power, and it'll be brutally expensive.

 

please referrence sig........

 

Right, but if the Challenger weighs 4500 lbs and the 'Maro weighs 3500, it won't be necesary.

Just like the Camaro concept itself, I'll believe it when I see it (in production).

 

fair enough .

 

The Challenger won't weigh 4500lbs though, and the Camaro won't weigh 3500lbs.

It would seem that the Camaro will have the weight advantage from the info we have recieved up until this point, but I wouldn't say it will be anywhere near a 1/2 ton advantage.

 

Considering it's off a 300 chassis, I may not be far off.

Yes I was exagerating, but I think it's gonna be a fat bastard.

 

oh, and can some more people post of there? I've run out of names, email addresses.

 

Perhaps Lutz believes the LS2 is good enough to waste the Challenger... without the need for the LS7?

 

i think Lutz has his eye on the LS7 for the 5th gen.





and his blog has 269 replies as of now.

 

While I wasn't one of those people, all I have to say in regard to this is that everything said in a blog is off-the-record. Lutz can say what he wants, and it obviously will have bearing in the company, but being OTF he's open to say... what he wants.

I for one would like an affordable (<40k) LS7 in my Camaro, but chances are I'll be grabbing the LS2 option.

 

What V6 will it get? The 3.9?

 

that inline 6 might be a nice sight to see... 291 hp

 

I have absolutely no doubt it will be a fat bastard. The Challenger concept's supposed weight of 4100lbs is already way too much. I just don't think the sting of the LS7 added to the Camaro's bite could hurt the 5th gen at all.
