So Here is what I hear.. 6.2L V8 Only A Stop Gap Engine For C7
Look to 2016 to bring the 8 speed Auto tranny with a 5.5L V8 worth some type of blower attached and around 600 ponies. This is from someone I know at GM. I was told that this is why a "boost" gage is already integrated to the configurable dash. The Gen5 6.2 will then reside in Camaro and a Tahoe/Suburban variant SUV. A 6.2 with a blower could also be online for a Z06 type car also.
CORRECTION THAT SHOULD SAY 500+ Ponies MY MISTAKE SORRY. |

What environment? I've seen nothing but HP increases from Mustangs to Challengers. Seems like every sports/muscle car is increasing not decreasing its HP to the point Corvettes are only quicker because of its power to weight ratio.

I don't see any benefit of going down to a 5.5L, the engines will be the same externally. Blower on a base car also makes no sense.

Well I will say this, GOD I hope we dont have to wait till 2016 for the 8 Speed. My god when did they start development, yesterday!!
:toetap: |
My best guess is the 4.3 V6 + turbo will be base one day. That way kerb weight can stay low, and efficiency can be improved while increasing power. 5.5L + blower sounds horrible from a fuel economy point of view.
