6.2l LS9? Sweet.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96645
Looks like it's Chevy that has to go F/I to keep up with the Ford boys now.
Hmmmm supercharged 6.2.... wonder what kind of numbers that bad boy puts down.. and how much the car cost...
So let me get this right.... Z28 > SS ?
All posts from the above author are expected to be 100% BS. Thank you and have a nice day.
Exactly, I'm tired of these youtube video's of GT500s in a side by side test against a 2010 Camaro SS, and the gloat along with it. And now they got the 2011 Mustang GT doing the same thing. Impressive car, but come on, wait until the 2011 Camaro SS comes out before you start doing test with obvious improved peformance and numbers. Go Ford.

The GT500 got an aluminum block for 2011, so it lost some weight (about 100 lbs off the nose) and another 10hp bump to 550hp. (This is still with the conventional rotored Eaton roots blower, by-the-way.) I imagine this was an incremental step for Ford to ready themselves for the Z/28. Ford will probably wait for the debut of the Z and them announce that the next version of the GT500 will be coming with the TVS blower and 575+hp. Always gotta try and one-up the competition, don't-cha-know...

Well considering the current SS can reach over 40K in its current form ad the addition of a LSA variant or LS9 engine and the price is going to skyrocket. I dont see this car being under 50K. Its going to be priced competitvly with the GT500 is my guess. I am a GM person 100% but the LSA engine is a joke, why a company would build a supercharged engine with powdered metal rods and cast pistons is beyond me. They need to either spend the extra few bucks at the production level and put forged hard parts in it or drop the nasty properly built LS9 in there.
I guess either way I wouldnt buy one though. Although they look cool from the front they look somewhat unfinnished from the side and rear, havent grown on me. Also there heavy as hell and have horrible blind spots.
i like.....interested to see this when more info is released
This new car's soul purpose is just to make something on par with the GT500 for HP/performance since the Corvette is not really in the same league and handily destroys it in base model trim... So more of an apples to apples story now. Should be cool, but yeah id expect it to cost no less than 50'gs loaded up. This car has been in the making for 2 years now, so to say it in responsce to the 5.0L is incorrect. The current N/A SS is still more than a formidable opponent yet.

2012 Cruze ECO M6 - Crystal Red- Just a little more boost than stock!
2001 Camaro SS - Rallye Red - In process.
According to Ford's website a GT500 starts at $49,500, so if the Z28 is built to compete with the GT500 it's spot on for price point. I'd be willing to bet it gets the detuned engine like the CTS-V got.
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
