Hum. A 5.3 wouldn't be a bad thing as a optional motor. What if they Put a really good valvetrain in it with some forged parts ie rods and they spin it to 7500rpm, with about 360hp. Or what if the destroked the 5.3 to a 5.0 ala 302 dz. there are so many option that they could do. will it have LS2? Yes it would be dumb not to. Lets not forget they could make a base, RS, Z28,SS . How about a 1LE option again.

No doubt in my mind that the Camaro will have a V8 with 400 hp...whatever LSX derivation it is then.

For somebody to say there aren't many cars with 400+ HP means that they're not paying much attention.....Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Dodge/Chrysler SRT8s and SRT10s, Corvette, Caddys and the list goes on and on.

I would not be surprised to see the LS7 or a derivitive in the Camaro at some point as well...it has to be able to battle the Ford Mustang GT500.

That's what's in the Concept Car, but nobody knows yet what will be in the production version... heck, nobody knows for sure yet if they're even gonna build it.

I think the top Camaro motor will be a 450+hp 6.2L, but that's just my guess.
