LS2 ONLY???? WHY WHY WHY??

RE: LS2 ONLY???? WHY WHY WHY??
I think this would be a smart line-up :
RS (base) the new Direct Injection V-6
z28 ls2 (350+HP tuned down, look at the ones sold overseas, or if lucky the 400HP varient they put in GTO)
SS ls3
My thing is I hope the dealerships dont try to screw us over like ford dealerships have done with the new mustangs. Hell in NoVa you cant even buy a used 05+ GT for under $24k w/ reasonable miles. I am sick and tired of this mark up crap from stealerships. Honestly as much as I hate ford and their stealership pricing I hope GM will have the new z28's for around $25-30K NEW although I doubt that it will be $25k the way things are going these days.

I had heard a few different engines. Including two V6’s the LS3 and possibly a supercharged v8 latter down the road .

you knowed be good as a step up from a base v6? the supercharge 3.8 from the gtp, but with a different supercharger of course to allow air to enter from the front or top with cowl induction.

the only reason that the GTO got the same LS2 from the Vette was because of the weight. with 350hp it took nearly 5.5 seconds to get to 60. with 400hp it took 5 flat. the Mustang was it's main competitor and that car hits 60 in around 5.2s. even with the LS2, the GTO is still slower than the Vette. mainly because the GTO's around 3800lbs, while the Mustang is right around 3500, and the Vette weighs in at under 3400.
