Re: Which motor are you?
I would like the 500ish hp model if available, but it will depend on price. I voted for the 400hp model as that is more likely by my way of thinking. I'm kinda expecting the 400ish hp model to realistically be the top model for at least the first couple years anyway...

Re: Which motor are you?
LS7 all the way, unless it is priced at some ungodly high number. If it were to stay aound mid 40's I'm in. I was thinking about picking up a 6.0L for 30K and dropping either a 427 into it or adding a turbo. So if GM offers a stock LS7 or LS9 that would easily make up my mind on which way to go. Of course I would never pay the outrageous dealer mark-ups out of principal, so I'll probably end up dropping an LS7 in myself, modded to my own needs.

Re: Which motor are you?
Remember I said "regardless of price". If you figure the LS2 version is priced in at the same price as the Mustang GT, the LS7 version should list for no more than another $10-15K above that... which should be well below the GT-500.
What, no one wants a V6?

Re: Which motor are you?
Well…..
I’m going to buy the mid level Camaro ***cough *** SS ***cough ***
with a convertible top, pretty much fully loaded, so I’m not the LS7 guy obviously…
I would like a bit more hp than the base model or 5.3L range of power,
So I Would option for the LS2!

Re: Which motor are you?
I can only vote once, but I voted Base V6 because I felt bad that no one else voted for it. 
In all honesty, my dream would be to own a v6 daily driver AND a v8 version.
