The laws for cars are only going to get stricker in the next few years and GMs spending cant get to much higher just over one car-theyve already slimmed down. I think a lot of people are getting their hopes up too soon-but I could be wrong.

COPOs weren't cheap. Then, you had the ZL1, which costed more than the car itself, if I'm not mistaken, so yeah, I think there's a SLIM chance GM would cater to the more affluent. Do I think this will happen? Probably not. Do I think they should? Certainly not. Why? Because I think GM should directly address the competition, which are going to be Mustang and Challenger models, IMHO. I just don't see a significant change in car-demographics, where you have prior tuner people who are going to come from 350/370Z or even the new Genesis people considering Camaro. I do think GM will get new buyers they didn't have with prior generations, just because this is such a more friendly car.
I don't personally think Camaro shouldn't be for the masses. That's how it started, and I think they should stick to it. I do think there's a market for those who would be willing to spend more on a higher performing car and that they would sell at least a competitive amount to GT500 numbers.
I do hope a lot of us aren't getting all worked up over nothing though...

Direct Injection. High pressure fuel injectors are placed in the combustion chambers, as opposed to the intake runners in the intake manifold, and the fuel is atomized a lot finer so it burns more completely, increasing efficiency and lowering emissions. I think the LLT runs something like 2000-plus psi in the fuel rails, opposed to many MPFI engines, like the LS3/L99, where they run somewhere from 40-50-os-so psi.
