Default RE: Reality Check!


ORIGINAL: BadStratRT

the whole reason for them doing away with the f bodies was because they were robbing sales from the vette, as it was the same car, a bit heavier, but a better deal for someone who wanted to go fast. until they put more hp into the LS7 found in the corvette, they are NEVER going to offer an engine in a $40,000 camaro which will come close to competing stock with the 70,000 Z06...NEVER.

now, should Gm bump the HP of the Z06 up when dodge releases the 8.4L ZC based viper, we may see a Ls7 based camaro or gto, but i dont think that they will put it at 505hp.
Yeah this sound accurate. If they offer the LS7, it will probably produce more around what the GT500 is supposed to produce.
