I'm about sure there will be a different type of engine besides the LS-1 in 2007 for that Camaro. Especially if gas prices keep acting the way they do.

Looks like Ford needs to copy GM and go more cubes plus pushrod to make power.....not GM copy'ing Ford. If they did that, they'd have a Caddy with a 4.6L motor with more than 60HP over a GT Mustang....oh wait, they do.

Sure...Use my line...
Besides. For the record, the Caddy is a 4V 4.6, that would make it LESS hp then the pre 03 Cobra, or the Mach 1.

the problem with the GTO is simple, it is a Holden Monaro with a grand prix like front. the 05 mustang GT has almost 300 rwhp, that is more power than the mach 1. and they only weigh about 100-200 lbs more. on top of that, just about anything is gonna seem slow compared to an 03 cobra

You're right, there will be. More than likely the LS2 will go in it. A Camaro with 400 stock hp.....mmmm. My LS1 gets 22+mpg around town and over 30 on the interstate though....so I don't think it's b/c of gas prices.

How can you just now be reading about this? This concept has been in the works for a year or two now...I heard all about this just after they stopped building Camaros in 2002.
:withstupid: The Corvette LS2 has a 101.6 mm bore over the LS1s 99.0 bore.

Bored LS1 basically....pushrod.

RE: Chevy Coming Out With Camero Again!
I really don't know the technical stuff on those motors but I do know that my LS1 gets better mpg than the new GT's, Mach 1's, and Corba's. With more cubes and more power. I don't get how the modular motor is anymore efficient?
