in the 80s, wasnt Iroc-Z28 the top dawg? Just a Z28 with apperance and suspension mods? i agree with keeping SS top dawg tho, cuz, thats just what 90% of people know it as, and the vette's new top dawg will be a SS, then the cobalt, silverado, etc etc.
there's an article that sais there's gonna be TWO 6ers, and ONE deffenant v8, that being said.. i think we're looking at a 3.9, and maybe either like a 4.3 or even a S/C'ed 3.9 as the other. for the V8s... LS2 is a 6.0 aint it? and if the top of the line v8(excluding that possible S/C'ed v8) is a LS2, why wouldnt they use a 5.7-LS1, not a 5.3-LS4, for the lowest v8 model(although, some said in another post, LS1s arent made anymore.. dont make sense to me, as to why they wouldnt) then the LS3, is the engine they want to use in the S/C'ed version of vette and camaro(which is a 6.2 right?)... all to confusing haha......

as much as i love GM.. they're kinda messed up...
LS1 - 5.7
LS2 - 6.0
LS3 - 6.2
LS4 - 5.3(back downthe litres hmm.)
LS5 - is there one??
LS6 - back down to a HO 5.7...
LS7 - 7.0 AKA the king[8D]

woulda atleast thought they woulda went in order of litres/cubic inches. lol
There will be no SS Vette, that's been pretty well confimed by GM/Chevy sources. LS2 will not be in the new Camaro, they are already out of production, so the LS3 is the likely choice. LS7 is too costly to go in production Camaros and the newer Gen5 engines (LS3 is a Gen4 engine) have not really been announced, but many will offer direct injection. LS3s have already been worked to 700HP without supercharging, so they are a very versatile engine.

jus think it's wierd to have a ls4 go in the lower model V8, if thats what they plan.. mite be a strong engine. but jus seems wierd stepping down in CI/litre. specially, when the LS4 is rated for less horse and torque, than the LS1 and LS2.
don't know. just seems wierd to not have a 5.7, and to have LS2 die, after such a short life[X(]

whatever they decide tho, it'll always beat ricers and fords!![8D]

The car exists, the name does not. It has been called "SS", Blue Devil, ZL1, even has been mentioned as a ZR1. Until and unless there is a confirming announcement from Chevy,the SS Vette doesnot exist. Even the blog attached to the link can't agree on what name it will get. There have been full threads on several sites for a while, no one has come up with any confirmation from Chevy on what the name will be.

I thought you meant the car does not exist, yeah the name does not but a name does not really matter. If camaro had a diff name we would still like it. at this point people should call the vette a supercharged factory vette, the other names dont really matter
