I'm willing to bet it will be third year from GM and second year from tuners. I say the GM version will be a high output LS3 or a LS8. Maybe called a Z-28. Only reason i think the big motor model will be the Z rather than a SS is because the SS has been reduced to a trim level as of the last decade.

At least that's what I'm hoping for. I'm just wishing for a 475-550hp mod friendly version. No matter how they do it. I would be all over one if this were the to come true. My car will have long been payed off and i would have a stout DP for a high-end model.

But the LS9 and LS8 are supercharged 6.2L engines look it up.

Oh and no need to worry bout it getting a LS7, they will be out of production by then.
