The 3.6DI has been out for 3 years and now Ford bringing out a 3.7DI to compete. I would love to see an updated 3.6DI with slightly bigger valves and better exhaust or better yet GM should bore it out or have a 3.8 or 4.3DI engines the 3.8DI with say 345hp and maybe 370hp for the 4.3DI and have that be a true midlevel camaro RS instead of the RS being an option. Then you could have say a twin turbo or supercharged 475hp V6 Z28 RS package as well as the big supercharged 555hp Z28 that and cut down about 200 pounds off of the car.
To tell you the truth I think the car looks good a little update tweeking in the future and say cut weight about 300 pounds improving braking, economy and handling. Also improve the visability and maybe a little more trunk space and then it will be absolutely perfect. I can see it now a 2013 Camaro and Z28 weighing about 3400-3500 with DI engines with weight saving and DI off the current your looking at 31MPG with V6 and a DI V8 pumping out 455hp and about 28MPG which is good enough. Zero to 60 in about 5.5 for improved v6 and about 4.5 for SS the Z would blast in at about 4 seconds. At least .94 or better lateal Gs and we have a world beater.
