Would you guys think of offering the GM Crate LS7? I would not be that far off of the original COPO idea of a manufacturer high performance engine.
I would think that makes a bit more sense than a 700hp, probably very expensive, engine..... just my 0.02!! I will be keeping my eyes on this one. Been 20 years since i have owned a Camaro... might be time to get one!

Would anyone else be interested in buying a 2010 Nickey Camary with a 427 LS7??
Perhaps through a Central Office Production Order you could get them installed at GM ![]()

I believed that the LS7 was what was planned for the SS Camaro. I have been told that it has been postponed or even cancelled completely. I guess we will find out eventually. The Camaro line workers were called back to work in early November. Production should be pretty well up to speed by now.

I was told the issues with the bankrupt supplier are solved and the cars are being built.

[/ QUOTE ] From Page one of this thread: The LS7 has always been in consideration for the Nickey Super Camaro. It seems that we may also have some other GM options available, such as the Cadillac CTS-V or ZR1 Corvette engines too. "I'll Provide More Details but this is a summary. Stage I: Mild Modifications to the Stock LS3 Stage II: Completely reworked LS3, (Stock V8 used in the Camaro). Stage III: This is a complete new/different LS7 427ci transplant." More than 1/2 of the Current orders are for Stage III 427 ci LS7 based Nickey Super Camaros. |

I thought the Stage III was going to be (from the 1st page of this thread):
"What we would like to do for the Stage III is a 700hp version of the new Corvette ZR1, LS9 Supercharged engine." I am not looking for 700hp I would like to have the LS7 with 505hp in a 2010 Camaro. It would be very cool to have a 2010 Nickey Camaro with a 427.....
