2012 Camaro Z28 spotted

[Cjburn]

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.

It will be the same LSA thats in the CTS-V. It is only a couple hundred bucks away (for tune) from making 500 to the wheels w/o even so much as an intake!

As far as capability in stock form goes though, you have to hand it to ford. The engine in the GT500 has much more to offer. Cast hard parts in a 50K+ Factory forced induction setup is pretty pathetic. Spend the extra bucks at production GM, your customers will pay it!

If it comes with a 5/100k warranty... its plenty durable then in stock configuration. durability for more hp beyond that, why should they be concerned? its not a warranty issue at that point is it? seeing as modification would be needed. Yes Ford has a more devoted motorsports hi/po engine team than GM. Your avg asshole who buys a 50k car regardless of the brand is NOT buying it for the forged internals, nor would they give a rip... they buy it because they can.

wrong. plenty of people these days mod the piss out of their cars. just look at how many GT500 owners swap in a bigger blower and make upwards of 700rwhp on the stock longblock. no way you'll be able to do that with the lsa motor. i'm all for competition between the big 3 to keep pushing the limits of power with these cars. nothing 'assholish' about being able to buy a $50k car, and wanting to mod it

Yeah judging by your list of rides you are in the minority that would be able to pull off pissing another 15k into a 50k car. Been there done that with a 2010 Camaro and stuck about 2gs into a 40k car and got to 500 whp and realized this is kinda gay... 500 rwhp isn't all that exciting in 4klb car. I'd personally have no qualms leaning on an LSA to 850 rwhp and it
will live out it's useful life just fine. The Heaton would would be in the garbage first thing however.
