    Chevy Camaro To Receive Supercharged “LT4″ V8 Engine By 2015, Will Be More Powerful Than ZL1

    by Manoli Katakis
    Sep 25th, 2012

    Within the same Corvette Forum thread that posted leaked CAD engine bay renderings of the Corvette C7 and other images, there was a blurb from the same user that uploaded the renderings regarding the Chevrolet Camaro. If it is to be believed, the Camaro will be receiving a supercharged version of the fifth-generation small-block V8 engine — rumored to be called “LT4″. As a bonus, the engine will also be shared with a high(er) performance version of the upcoming C7 Corvette.
    According the the user, who is highly reputable within the forum’s community, the engine will be an “upgrade of Camaro ZL1 with more hp.” Sounds pretty mighty, considering the ZL1 currently punches out 580 horsepower via a 6.2L supercharged LSA engine. But will the ZL1 name stick? Or is this paving the way for the likes of a Z28? As we like to say here on GMA, only time will tell.

    As awesome as that is, does anyone else see something odd with the fact they seem to be giving the newest designs to the Camaro before the Corvette now? It was always vette-first in the past and then it trickled down into the Camaros. The C7 took away the new tail light styling of the Camaro and now the LT4 is going into a Camaro before a Vette lol. Just strikes me a bit odd.

    You think we'll see a limited run of Gen-5 LT5s for the ZR1s?

    I dont know if limited...

    I just think that before the end of the year, we will hear about the LT4 in the new C7 ZR1,

    and the ZL1 will be the one carrying this "detuned" engine in 2015.

    I'm also a bit confused on one of the comments on that page. Someone said the Z28 is ranked higher than the SS? I always thought that was reversed - ZL1, SS, Z28, RS, base?

    The SS was more of a drag racing package. Z28 was a road racing package.

    I see, does the Formula, Trans Am, WS6, Firehawk hierarchy follow that? Formulas and Firehawks more as road racing packages while the TA/WS6 was a drag racing package?
