Hmm... The first thing that comes to mind would be GM putting an LT1 in there (although it's not a HUGE bump up from the TTV6)

I wonder if it's going to target the black series or the c63 AMG 507 edition.

Maybe the LT4... Supposedly the new CTS-V will be getting a TT LT1.

The LT4 will be for the C7 Z06 only. GM has never and will never give out the top of the line engine from a current production Vette to something else in their lineup. They are giving out the LS7 for the Z/28 since they aren't making many of them and the C7 Z06 doesn't use that engine anymore.

I can see a variant of the LT4 just how they made the LSA for the CTS-V, ZL1 and now the Gen F HSV GTS. I mean the LS9 and LSA are almost the same except the LSA has a smaller S/C, lower compression ratio, weaker pistons and 1 heat exchanger plus less power.

I can't wait to see what they make but will hate to see what the price will be. I like the XTS-V but the price is eh.....I'd rather have a CTS-V Wagon, it's like ~$1k more.

Agreed. I can see an LT1 for the ATS-V+ or w/e. Another article mentions a TT LT1 variation for the new CTS-V, if that's true that would be nice.

Overall I'm getting really excited for GM's new performance line-ups.

I know they can get the performance down, they just need to get the styling a little more aggressive.
