Default Road and Track Magazine

They actually have this in the new Road and Track magazine. It does state there are going to be 3 versions: Ls,Lt,& a SS version. The Ls is going to have 220hp V6, the Lt is going to have 300hp V6(the same motor as in the Cadilac) and the SS version is going to have 405hp V8 LS3(the same motor thats in the new corvette. They are going to have the Z28 version come out a year later with between 480-500hp supercharged 6.2L. Don't know if this is true but it is stated in the new Road and Track magazine as the main topic.

Listen to us. They DO NOT know yet. PERIOD. Read your way around this site. Magazines always want to jump on the bandwagon and have the latest "news". Unfortunately, that news is nothing more than an internet rumor in many cases, just like this one.

The LS, LT, SS thing does sound realistic to me.

So does the fact that you would die if you got hit in the face with a train. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

Cobalt LS, LT, & SS! The Camaro will get the same names? It sounds goofy. "Hey guys, I just bought a Camaro LT" - that just sounds rediculous.

I don't really like those designations on the Cobalt either. I thought the cars were SE and LE and the trucks were LT and LS. I guess things change...

A Camaro LT and LS would sound pretty lame, but I won't be owning either of those models anyway.

A 220hp Camaro would be so pathetic. Slower than 4th gen V6's...which means 16's. Wow. At least give it like 250.

Well I'm just the opposite of you I already own a c6 and I am selling it to later own a new camaro. There are so many vettes on the road out here that I see. Don't get me wrong though if my money is right when I am ready to get my new car I might see if I can get a c6 z06.

There have been Type LT Camaro's before (mid-'70s). And people bought them.

I would rather own a Camaro than a Corvette, for the most part. But there is no doubt that a C6 is a badass car. If I'm not totally happy with the new Camaro, then I'll go for the C6 as well.
