A somewhat confirmed rumor by CorvetteConti.com and cheersandgears.com. Corvette will have a 6.2 or 6.3L LS3 with 450hp or so and a 600+HP 6.2L Supercharged LS9.
I'm hoping the GTO gets one of the those motors.

450HP out of 6.3L doesn't really sound like that much ... Though, nicer than 300HP of course ... Or 193 as on mine

Just remember this is the same engine architect as the LS1 which is already quite compact and lighter than most Iron V6's and many 4 cylinder motors. Gentlemen...if you ever had any doubts that this was the new muscle car era...this should change your mind. 425hp in the SRT-8s, 230hp in the $20k entry cars. Enjoy the glory while it lasts. |

With the new gas mileage standards due to take effect in a few years, all GM cars made after 2006 will have the 3 cylinder motor used in the 1995 Geo Metros. Enjoy!!! |

GM is also applied for a patent on an 8 speed transmission, that should help with the fuel milage, 6 gears for fun and 2 for fuel http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinside ... 286278.htm http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Par ... 0050113206 |

that's great news. I just wished they evolved more on the body designs other than the newest one out. |
