?550 hp z28 next gen

[nascarnate326]

The SS could be had with the 396 big block and the Z28 had the 302 small block for trans am racing I believe. You could also get a SS with a 350
I think.

GM Is now making a SS in almost every thing. (not good IMO
SO that being said bring on theZ28

my dad works at gm and the word around is...

z28= 400 hp ls2
ss= 450 hp


lol there are so many stories and myths that honestly i think we all have to wait and see what really is gonna come out

why would they throw a 5 year old motor in GM's halo car for the people?
LS3 would be a 10x better idea.

um, isnt LS2 dead already?

[mwood88]

It's believable that GM would use the LS2. The G8 uses it. I hope they don't, but it's possible.

[MunsterZ28]

honestly its gm they have been disapointing people for years on certain things it wouldnt surprise me in the least to see a ls2 in the car

[mwood88]

Disregard what I previosuly said, the G8 doesn't use the LS2. The test mules did I think though.

I think its still in the TB SS, but not sure.

G8 does not use LS2. It never has. OK I see you admited

How have they been disapointing people for years? Like what? Mini vans? and some people even loved that

[BP_Z28]

I dont think they have disapointed people for year(s)?


With so much hype and what not for the Camaro, I doubt it would be a disapointment in the engine bay

[JoeliusZ28]

yeap i think youre right about the trailblazer

[MunsterZ28]

lol im not gonna bicker about it. im just like the rest of u i want to see/have the new camaro no matter what the car looks/performs like

[BP_Z28]

damn right

LS3 Corvettes have been rolling around for a good year now.


The cross-ram DZ302 and 375hp 396s were a dead heat in the quarter-mile. Some go far as saying the 302 was faster, i think it was a drivers race as well as who's carberator was adjusted better.

Whats funny is the 302 was only rated at 290hp

and yes... first gen SS's came with a 350, 3 of them if i remember correctly...

The 302 was a short stroke little screamer, I still wanna build one someday. And a 327 too. RPM city, just keep em over 3k.

What's wrong with the LS2?

[mwood88]

yeap i think youre right about the trailblazer

The Trailblazer is getting the axe after this year isn't it? That means the LS2 will probably be done also.

I'm gonna guess that the lower of the v8 models, be it Z28 or SS, will probably use the same 6.0L found in the G8. The higher model v8 will probably use the supercharged engine that's in the CTS-V.

I can't wait for a Trans Am to come back. I won't buy a new one right away but they need to be sold so that in 5 years I can buy a slightly used one. By that time my little V6 car will need a cage (which I will not do) and I'll be on to a different project.

Pontiac dealers just keep getting screwed with discontinued products. I think the trans am would be a VERY low volume seller for my store but darn it I want one.

550hp camaro... HA!

im completely with you there. I will build a 302 someday. If i cant have it in a 69 ill put it in a 4th gen.
