Don't fret..there will always be one-upamanship or else how do the manufacturers keep the buzz about their product? There's a new limited run Mustang with well over 500 hp...you gotta know the general's gonna have an answer to that too!!

| | | yes, for 2008-09 there are now three offerings in engines on the Vette.
LS3 --- approx 420 cubes at 430hp
LS7 --- approx 427 cubes at 505hp
LS? --- approx 427 cubes at 700hp (supercharged/intercooled)
What I would offer you Lauren, is some exhaust changes, and air box change, and some tuning and you'll be pumping out what the LS3 offers. Or just supercharger it and move to Z06 levels. |

| | | Why worry about the LS3? For half the diffrence of the dealer mark ups on the 07, you can make the LS2 in your vett walk all over any stock or mildly modified LS3 corvette. The C6's just came out, so we shouldn't see C7's for awhile, so why not make the next couple of years a little more fun.....

Everything GM offers the LS's in will outrun its diamond star counterpart. The new LS3 was supposedly designed as an enhancement to the LS2 with the new (and cheaper) heads and block bored a bit to enhance extra air intake.
A LS3 equipped Camaro versus the Srt-8 Hemi Challenger should be interesting. With the weight ratios, the Camaro should slightly walk it in the quarter. Now it comes down to gearing ! | | |
