Default LS2 ONLY???? WHY WHY WHY??

I have been watching the poll on what people want the 2007 camaro to have, and the top choices are the ONLY LS2 and the V6/LS1. My question is why would anyone want the camaro to only come in an LS2 engine, to me that just does not make sence, isnt that what the corvette is for? To compete with gto, mustang, charger, ect. I would think camaro would be the correct choice but without a V6 a huge market would be lost and just like now chevy would not have a V6 to compete other than the impala (wahoo, sarcastic). It would seem to me that if the camaro only came out in an LS2 it competion would be the corvette, so I just wanted to see what people actually had to say, instead of just looking at numbers.

Well, we (the Camaro Enthusiasts) are sick and tired of Big Brother Vette having all the fun. Its time our car steps up to the plate and knocks some Blue Ovals outta the park.

But thats not the point, sure I can understand why you think that way, I love my camaro but it wasnt made to compete with the corvette, its to give you corvette power at a price we can afford and thats what it done. a ture under dog story, camaros are not supose to be better than the vette, which is why when you mod it and can beat a vette it makes it that much sweeter. Plus there is no sence competeing with in the family. And on another note why did chevy say the new crapalier (cobalt) is the vettes little brother that makes no sence that car was made for 16 year old drives with rich parents more like the corvettes emission fumes.

ok ok well i see things as chevy has the LT4 crate motor and the 572 big block it should be like back in the day when car builders were out to out doo the next guy in line cause when chevy was workin on the 572 ford and dodge had no clue that the next big block would be by chevy so the camaro should be the car that out does dodges Viper and fords GT40. but i think the vett was moreless a prestige car cause ive seen 240sx's and hondas take vets down and hondas make no tourq at all so i think the vett was moreless a look at me kinda car

I think there should be numerous options when they put the camaro back on the market. There needs to be a V6 model for all the high school kids who dont like hondas, as well as you need a V8 option for the enthusiasts of the car. I also think they should make a big block model for the hell of it. I know i would buy that. But at the same time they have to make the vette the faster and more appealing flagship car. As long as they dont make it four door and but a 4 cyl. in it, I think the car will make it in the market.

im pretty sure they will have a V6 model, for those who cant afford or dont care about the LS2 performance, and just like the car for its looks

i think chevy just isnt going far enough if they want to keep up with ford they have to do something about these little supercharged pony cars. these cars are sick with a litlle mods. but i personally think chevy sould take it on themself to start the supercharged line ups

If anything Chevy shouldnt put the 400 HP LS2 in the Camaro beacuse it will ruin the Corvette sales. I say they upgrade the base corvette to 425 HP and downgrade the HP to 370 for the Camaro, leaving some breathing room. Then Chevy can decide whether to put the 505 HP LS7 in the Camaro.
