While the rumor has been kicking around for some time, it has now been made sort of official due to the comments of GM executive Karl Stracke. Stracke was visiting the new home of Motor Trend magazine in California and managed to spill the beans on some of the upcoming stuff from GM. The only thing we really cared about was the Gen 5 Camaro Z28.
He did not go into details, but the guys at Motor Trend believe that the Camaro will be packing the supercharged LSA engine from the Cadillac CTS-V. That engine hustles the Caddy to 60 in far less than five seconds so we can only imagine the types of numbers that will be generated by the Camaro. It’s time for the Ford GT500 owners out there to start getting wary of Camaros again.
The story about Stracke is a good read and he seems like a truly hard core gearhead who shoots just as straight as Bob Lutz used to.
