GM won't make a factory car with more horsepower then
Corvette Z06 or ZR-1 because no one would buy them anymore

The LS9 isn't a supercharged LS7. LS7 is 7.0L and the LS9 is 6.2L. The price is going to be jacked up on the new Camaro anyways I'd hate to see what it would cost IF an LS9 or a similiar variant was put in it.

i don't care... if they are gonna produce a stock FI camaro, do it! I hate the idea but after seeing the power numbers.... well.... i think i can overlook the N/A power thing!

IF they make a ls8/lsa/ls9 camaro... ITS MINE!!! Don't care on the price just under 40k!!!

Lol. I'd be very suprised if a 550hp supercharged camaro was under $60k.

That would be suicide for GM having a Camaro that cost $60k

Exactly. A gt500 (which seels very well, still has a 43-45k msrp for the coupe. There is no way there will be a 60k camaro. I could see a supercharged vert getting around 50, but who cares about verts anyways

Yea, the msrp could be around $45k or so for a supercharged "ZL1" super Camaro, but no one would get one for that at first thats for sure. Just like the 06 Z06 and the SSR pickup, the dealers would screw you in the end.

The Camaro needs to either be phenominal, or needs to be priced the same as the equivalent mustangs. So far GM has said it will probably cost more than a mustang so...
