I also think mag ride will be in the new camaro standard. Then, there's the case of the Z. You KNOW Nissan does a great job of making you think they will NOT be able to compete and then BOOM... What if they come back to the status the Z32 was in during the 90's??? It was a vette killing porsche competitor... Now i doubt history will repeat itself right now with a Z killing vettes. (thats the GTR's job.) But if the Z comes with all the right components? The right price? The right transmission(s) and STOCK TURBOS??? I might stay Z next gen as well?

With this vette? I would have to wait for the smoothed out physical update to know. There's potential in this styling, but looks incomplete still.
Oh and it's pricey. i been uppin' a lot of money to cars and guns.
There is going to be so much good new stuff coming. Don't forget about the new 5.0 as well. Should be a good option if you don't want to spring for a Vette. The Camaro will probably be good too based off of the ATS platform. Hmm... I feel a tingling in my pantalones.

Also I believe the Camaro may be getting a LS7 option.

Why would they do that? They already have one with a de-tuned LS9. I could see them starting to use the new LT1, but the LS7 wouldn't really make sense. That motor is going away since the Z06 will be and thats the only car that makes use of their 7.0L

I think because they have the LS7 available now. Probably have more castings than they needed, but there is a new LS7 Camaro.

Like Mike said it is because they have the engine and it is cheap to do.
Also, the ZL1 uses an LSA motor which is in the CTS-V. I think the reason for it is to create more sales and because it will give them the "fastest" NA American Muscle car probably (against the Mustang & Challenger).

That's what I meant, LSA (not LS9). Too many damn LS motors. I still don't think they'll offer the LS7 in the camaro... but we'll see. Why offer 500hp when you can have 580? I see the LT1 going into the camaro instead.

The LS7 is only used in the Z06 and is hand built for it, so i'm guessing they don't have a huge stack of them lying around like they would for other LS motors.

Care to place a bet?

Well they showed a Camaro with the LS7 in '08 and they have shown VINs already with the LS7 identifier for 2014, so the rumors are strong.
Also, I can see them putting the LT1 in the Camaro a few years after the Vette has it and they redesign the Camaro to the ATS platform.

Hey, you never know? That interior was 10 yearsago in the Ford GT. A decade is long enough to start "Sharing the wealth"? lol
