I sure hope they keep the price in line with the GT. If they dont I think they would loose a ton of money. But Im not crossing my fingers. I cant wait to see it at the show though. Then I can figure out if I should save for it or the 2007 Shelby GT 500.

I bet it will have 400 HP LS2 and a lesser LS4 offered. I also bet they will keep the price correct. GM has done very well with the C6, Solice, Goat, and for darn sure with the new Z06. I have new faith in GM's ability to make a good sports car. They will not dissappoint us.
Full Throttle, is it retro or not?

go to camaroz28.com there are acouple of gm insiders that post there. they have been giving small hints here and there...right now from what a few have said we will most likely be looking a a 3.9L v6, ls2 z28 and a 6.2L sc ss...gm already has been testing the motor in a cadillac which puts out 505hp. be sure that chevy will not back down to the shelby. chevy will come out with a camaro that will have cobra owners grabbing their ankles

wow a 6.2L S/C 'ed SS? hell yeah! i just doubt they are going to go much over whatever the base vette is making at the time. if the C6 is still producing 400hp, thats what the max hp on the camaro would be as well i would bet. but lets hope they go after the shelby

Supercharged 5.7 with 450 hp would be great then have like an slp upgrades like they did back in the day you get what you pay for if you want a powerfull ride you have to order it. Hopefully it wont be like the mustangs that you have to wait a year to get....

A SC 6.2 pr 5.7 is not needed. A large pushrod engine (SB) with good fuel economy beats a SC stressed engine in my book. Plus a large pushrod (SB) is cheap to produce.

I just have a hard time believing they'll put a 6.2L S/C'd engine into a 5th gen. Not saying it wont happen, but I just cant really see GM saying "Here's our SS! Now we're sorry Corvette owners, but these Camaro guys are going Cobra hunting...and well, you guys arent. So, here's the LS2".

Actually, the rumor is that the 'Vette and by extension the Camaro would get the LS3, which is supposed to have a 6.2Liter displacement. There is a further rumor of a LS9 which would be a S/C 6.2 liter making somewhere around 600 FWHP. This motor is SUPPOSEDLY going to go in either the 2008-2009 Z06 be for the super 'Vette. The first place I saw this rumor was over at Digital Corvettes, brought up by CorvetteConti. Certain members at CZ28 seem to think that the 6.2 making around 450 hp would be the motor for the top level Camaro, with possibly the LS4 5.4 liter in the mid level model. I hope that we see a 500+hp top level Cobra eater from the factory, but I have my doubts (I will be quite happy to eat these words though if GM decides to make a Super Camaro!!).
