900hp? I don't think so.

However there are some new engines coming out. LS3, LS8, LS9.
Top Corvette will get the most power of any GM car as always.

Stay tuned!

the camaro wont ever come stock with a power adder. plain and simple. the corvette might just because it is supposed to be the pinnacle of chevrolets technology, like with the DOHC LT-5, but i dont see the camaro getting a DOHC engine or a power adder anytime in the future.

I wouldnt doubt that 900HP motor they talk about will be put in a vette and a depowerd version for a special camaro.

gm wont make the camaro faster then the vette

in the article it didn't say anything about the camaro getting the 900hp motor..it said the camaro may get the LS7 or LS9 then it said that they ran into a racer at the NHRA racers shop and the racer had a set of "gargantuan" LS style heads and when they asked him about it he said he was working on some LS8 stuff for GM and he had some preliminary castings..supposedly the block had a 4.3 inch bore and was set up for a 4.4 inch stroke which would mean it had a displacement of 511 cubic inches..then the racer said the setup could make an easy 900 hp then the racer mentioned this block may become available through GMPP. Then the racer said he doesn't get parts unless they are actually gonna do something with them..it never said the camaro would get this motor..lol. It also talks about a few truck engines that are supposed to come out as well

What makes you say that?

The next top engine may very well be a blown 6.2 thanks to the GT500.

GM will never produce a 900 horse motor that will be legal for sale in the streets of the United States. In ANY car.

The LS9 is more along the lines of 650hp. GMHTP did not state 900hp.

One day GM will make a 900HP car. Not in the next couple of decades...but in the future I am sure it will. I can see it now...Mid Mounted, AWD, 9 speed sequential paddles...Corvette.

Yeah thats what i am thinking. No one knows what engine, trans, or rearend is gonna come in the camaro so why try to guess. I think if chevrolet does come out with the camaro they will shock people with whats in it but i dont think there is any way they would ever out due the corvette. Yeah mabey chevrolet might offer diffrent options mabey like a supercharger but its no likely. But there is no way they will stuff a 900hp motor into a camaro.

i'm waiting for the govt to put a limit on the power a car can make from the factory, or how fast it can be, or how quickly it can accelerate, because too many idiots out there will borrow a car like this from their rich uncle and end up wrapped around a tree.
