Default New V8 for the Camaro!!

I was watching Atack of the Show today and they said GM made a direct injection 6.2L engine based off of the one used in the escalade to be put in the new camaro. They also said it would be well over 450 hp and would get better fuel economy!

I hope this hasn't been posted a hundred times already, I didn't see anything about it.

GM said the LS3 will be the last Gen IV engine.

11:1 compresion in a truck engine. Imagine what it would have in a car engine. It could take anvatage of E85 too with that kind of compression.

Something like that, they have a little strip across the bottom of the screen with news and stuff on it. I was pretty shocked when I saw gm had a new v8 for the camaro going across my tv.

Two things.....

1. Nobody said anything about this enigne going in Camaro other than that it's a possibility.

2. We already have a thread about this here:
