FACTORY DRAG CARS

The S/S guys say there is a Camaro body in white coming...I just hope they're around to even build a Camaro!

IF YOU LOOK IN THE NEWEST HOT ROD MAG IT TALKS ABOUT THE FORDS ON PAGE 22. THEN IF YOU GO TO 42 YOU SEE THE NEW CAMARO HAVING A LS7 DROPED RIGHT IN THE ARTICLE SAYS THIS WAS GOING BE THE NEW COPO. WHY CAN GM GET NOTHING RIGHT, THEY ALLMOST HIT A HOME RUM BUT ALWAYS SEEM TO HIT A TRIPLE INSTEAD. HOW COOL WOULD BE TO GET THE NEW SS CAMARO WITH THE ZR 1 MOTOR AND CALL IT THE NEW Z28

LOOKS GOOD BUT STILL NO COMFRIMED PRODUCTION OF A LS7 COPO CAMARO. IT WOULD BE LIKE HEAVEN IF SOME HOW WE COULD GET A STREET LEAGAL LS9, BUT I WILL TAKE A LS7 TO START. BOY IT LOOKS GOOD BUT I HEAR FROM MY FREINDS WHO WENT TO THE POWER TOUR THE CONVT LOOKS EVEN BETTER. A LS7 COMVT I AM ALL IN.

I don't think there's any chance of the General putting the Supercharged LS9 in the new Camaro, but I could easily see them installing the Corvette Z06 LS7 (427 CID!)engine in a few of them or maybe even making an installation kit to make the swap easier. The Z06 has become the middle-child "Jan Brady" of Corvettes since the release of the 638 HP ZR-1. Anyway, isn't it great that you can still buy a Pistol-gripped 425 HP Hemi Challenger or possibly go down the street to the GM dealer in the near future to maybe buy a 427 Camaro again. These are the glory days again but unfortunately due to the failing economy and new CAFE standards, I think we've peaked (like 1970) and it's all gonna be downhill again soon. I tell 'ya, I've always had my head in the sand always being focused on the Sixties' musclecars so much and for so long, but a couple of years ago I realized that there are some really great NEW musclecars out there to have a lot of fun without the hassle of doing a frame-off restoration. I gonna enjoy and run the heck out of my current Z06 and let somebody else worry about restoring it 30 years from now!

YES IT SEEMS TO TO 1970 ALL OVER AGIN. I ONLY HOPE THAT GM DOESS MAKE A CAMARO WITH LS7 MOTOR FROM THE FACTORY SO YOU CAN A WARENITY. LET'S ALL PULL FOR GM TO MAKE IT.THUR THIESE HARD TIMES
