i take it you mean the "new" camaro...i havn't heard about it but if they can hook up a cts with a serious motor i don't see why the camaro couldn't have one. unless the economy screws things up. either way i see someone cramming on in there on their own.

It was just a concept for the SEMA show. That would be cool if they did offer it though.

I'm curious about that car. GM says it makes 550 HP? Why not just slap on the Eaton 4 lobe from the ZR1? Isnt that LS7 really expensive to build?

I would rather have an LS7 than an LSA. I will buy a regular LS3 car...but I would shell out extra dough for an LS7 camaro.

I saw this car also today. I can tell you that it looks better in person than any of the pictures or the concepts.
