I don't think there's any chance of the General putting the Supercharged LS9 in the new Camaro, but I could easily see them installing the Corvette Z06 LS7 (427 CID!)engine in a few of them or maybe even making an installation kit to make the swap easier. The Z06 has become the middle-child "Jan Brady" of Corvettes since the release of the 638 HP ZR-1. Anyway, isn't it great that you can still buy a Pistol-gripped 425 HP Hemi Challenger or possibly go down the street to the GM dealer in the near future to maybe buy a 427 Camaro again. These are the glory days again but unfortunately due to the failing economy and new CAFE standards, I think we've peaked (like 1970) and it's all gonna be downhill again soon. I tell 'ya, I've always had my head in the sand always being focused on the Sixties' musclecars so much and for so long, but a couple of years ago I realized that there are some really great NEW musclecars out there to have a lot of fun without the hassle of doing a frame-off restoration. I gonna enjoy and run the heck out of my current Z06 and let somebody else worry about restoring it 30 years from now!
