FIRST - everyone calm down and be respectful; this thread is close enough to at least getting merged, let alone shut down if people are going to be disrespectful.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing either a FI V-8 or a DI V-8. just as long as it handles even better then the SS. |

Absolutely; as long as it doesn't handle like a pile, I'll be quite happy. We're just going to have to hold our collective breath ***gulp***

CAFE- Company Average Fuel Economy.
Having a few Z28s running around with 15mpg will not hurt any CAFE regulations. GM will be selling a lot more 4 cylinders than anything plus the Volt if its successful (40 miles for ZERO gallons, but of course 40Grand is a little expensive). CAFE calculations are per volume of built cars. |

The Camaro has never had a turbo 6 or turbocharged 4 in it so thinking it will turn into a rice machine makes me sick , the gmc cyclone , buick grand national and ford lightning are NOT THE CAMARO and don't have the prestige heritage of the Camaro ,have you seen a Ford Lightning sell for 2.2 million dollars no , but a 1969 427 YENKO Camaro IS WORTH THAT MUCH and was sold at barrett jackson , see the Camaro is in a league of it's own and must be respected and not compared to lower grade cars not saying the grand national is not a cool car but it's not at the level of the Camaro so 4 bangers and 6 bangers just will not do in a car of that stature sorry |

yeah... i think this is to the point of needing to be merged.
my thoughts remain the same as on the other Z28 thread - the Gen V engine is showing promise and has more potential than the Gen IV, so i don't see why IF a Z28 comes out, GM wouldn't use it as a launch car for it. besides, i think that even as good as the TT V6s of today are, a Z wouldn't get away with having one. if the GM designers are wanting to build on the heritage of Camaro with the 5th Gen, it would be counter-productive to offer the epitome of affordable GM power in V6 mode.

I personally don't care whether or not its a naturally aspirated or forced induction. I would like to see forced induction. By the way my first car was a 1969 Camaro with a V8 over 25 years ago. So I've been around this stuff for quite some time. |

What about having only Z28 threads to make F-Bodfather understand we want one?
