I can hear it now...JAY LENO: "How come my new COPO has 2000 miles on the clock?"
Mr. HEINRICY: "Well Jay, I know how picky you are, I just wanted to make sure it was perfect."
LENO: "Well is it?"
HEINRICY: "I think one of the tires may have a slow leak, I'm going to take it back to to Nurburgring and check it out."
LENO: "The tires will be worn out by then!"
HEINRICY: "I'll put fresh tires on before you get it."
JAY: "And will one of THOSE have a leak?"
HEINRICY "I certainly hope so!"

I hope it's the 6.2. The car I have now has a 6.0. It's a wonderful thing.

I have tried searching the internet for gen V info, but no luck. Is there any info out there that shows what these engines can do? I am not a gear head, but if i could get a high tq/hp engine with a smaller lighter engine and ~30mpg I would take it. But I voted 6.2 for now.

[The_Blur]

I'm very supportive of new technology, especially if that new technology delivers efficient horsepower. For the Camaro, however, all evidence points toward a current-use generation IV.

You don't have to look very far.

This is all we know about these engines...and even this little bit is enough to get you smiling for quite a while...

Also, it's worth mentioning that the Denali concept from GMC, that new-age looking pickup truck? GM says it has a concept of a 4.9L GenV V8 engine which produces about 326hp.

6.2 liter gen iv all the way.. Overall a more fun driving experience in my opinion even if you spend a little more on gas..
