Hey guys, I just came back from a FSAE race event and at Michigan Int Speedway they had a couple future production cars, i.e the Camaro. I got to talk to one of the engineers that helped with the build of the car and he gave me some insight. Unfortunately the Camaro I saw was a few years old and was (still is) a test vehicle to try to work out all of the bugs. The car had all kinds of sensor hook-ups in the engine and around the body. I got to sit in it and I loved it, though the guy said that since it's fairly not new, the interior has slight design changes compared to that one. So, about the engine, since the RS's will have a V6, well fortunately the representive said it's a 3900 DOHC 60 degree making 300 horses at 5500 revs or so. I couldn't give me the true numbers and specs, but this is what I could get out of him. They took the LQ1 heads, designed them and bolted them onto GM's 3900 block. I think this is freakin' sweet. This means that GMPP will have these heads in stock soon as the Camaro is out and I would be willing to purchase some of the heads. I tried to look for the head casting number but couldn't find it, so here's some pics.
Have two more close up engine shots, but I do't think they give away any details that I know of.
