I realize it's the CONCEPT Camaro, but is the LS2 really out for this car?

I just don't see the LS3 engine for the new Camaro. Wouldn't that be competing with the Corvette, something GM has always tried to avoid? Albeit, they did allow the 'Vette's LS2 in the GTO.

it may compete hp numbers wise, but the vette will out perform the camaro easily. Its lighter, lower to the ground, 2 seats, bigger tires, race suspension, brakes, etc.

Historically they have had the same engine, just in a "different" tune...

More likely they would adapt the Two-Mode Hybrid like they are using in the Yukon - more or less a direct replacement V8 to the LS2 or 3. Plus you know there will be a base 6.

Yeah next people will be saying that GM put the same engine in the C5 and 4th Gen's like the LS1 or something.
