Default Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camaro

Chevrolet is trying to keep the price of the car down so that it will survive in today's market place. Most people are going to opt for the lower cost, fuel efficient V6. A 500 HP Camaro from the factory would be awesome, but I do not think it is ever going to happen. They have the Corvette for that reason. The LS9 in the new ZR1 corvettes is the same 6.2 L displacement as the LS3 in the 2010 camaro. I'm sure if you wanted to go forced induction, you could get all of the parts over the counter from GM. All you would really have to do to the LS3 would be a set of good set heads, cam, and full exhaust and you would be over 500 rear wheel hp. That is more than enough hp for the street.
