Chevrolet to Offer Camaro with Corvette Z06's LS7 7.0-liter, 505HP V8

 General Motors document published in the Camaro5 forums may shed some light on a new engine option being prepared for the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro.
Said document shows the 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine added to the rest of the Camaro's available powerplants for the 2014 model year. The LS7 is used in the current Corvette Z06, in which it has an output of 505HP and 470 lb-ft (636.5 Nm) of maximum torque.




 That’s some way short of the Ferrari 458-beating 580-horses of the supercharged V8 shoehorned under the bulging bonnet of the Camaro ZL1 version. On the other hand, it’s considerably more powerful than the 426HP SS model

This is pure speculation on our part, but it’s possible that Chevrolet will introduce an LS7-powered Camaro to bridge the power gap between the SS and the ZL1, offering a three-tier performance range, just like it does in the Corvette.
