Great interview.

OUR72GTO · 11-03-2009, 07:23 PM

I've always liked to keep them the way I got them from the showroom........ BUT this I would do in a heart beat.

Chemical · 11-03-2009, 07:25 PM

Best part was that he said he had no part in the exterior design. All GM.

Z28 shell?? My opinion, yes.

nice job GM.

Heh-heh....

listen to Leno.....lighter weight, handling.....how awfully familiar....

You know what I love most about this car? All the functional stuff. The front brake cooling ducts, and the rear brake cooling ducts. I especially like the rear one, because it replaces those gills and puts something useful there.

The front facia, however -- takes the cake...it is PURE heaven....absolutely beautiful.

Can anyone guess what my current desktop picture is?

Dude same here! I got the same background!

AZCamaroFan · 11-03-2009, 10:24 PM

There's a couple things i question though. He says it's smaller. Well i guess he means weight, but once you put two turbo's in there---it's not like the don't weigh anything. Plus, with twin turbos, don't you lose some mpg from the regular V6?

AKcamaro · 11-04-2009, 12:45 AM

It would be interesting to see if a TT V6 is really what the Z28 will have and the SS will get a bump in power. Would follow most peoples beliefs that the Z28 is more of a track car and the SS is more for power especially since the TT V6 has around the same HP as the current SS. But who knows, its all speculation.

Rurouni_RoninSS · 11-04-2009, 09:50 AM

^There is NO way the z/28 is going to have a 3.6!!! I don't care if it is twin turbo!

v6sonoma · 11-04-2009, 10:12 AM

I want to see some torque #'s

Libertyforall1776 · 11-04-2009, 10:56 AM

Ok GM, so when is the this twin-turbo V6 Camaro going to be available FROM THE FACTORY?! ;-)

305pride · 11-04-2009, 11:44 AM

did you see how ed welburn would grin when jay would mention the z28???? i cant wait!!!

rays · 11-04-2009, 01:54 PM

Thats the way the car should have been done. Thats awesome! I love it, except for the color ;-)

68vert · 11-04-2009, 02:07 PM

Simply put, GM should offer this version to the public as a 'new' Camaro line.
Call it the JL6. (Jay Leno 6cyl)

WeeZee · 11-04-2009, 02:22 PM

^^^ hell yeah but "JL6TT" for Jay Leno V6 TwinTurbo. Id buy a Twin-Turbo V6 Camaro instead of the SS V8
