No V8 Camaros
 

Hypothetical Scenario

What if the next generation of Camaros no longer support V8. That they have chosen to go the Hybrid/electric V6 route. Would you still support Chevy? or would you go to another car that supports V8?(Mustang, Challenger, etc.)

Buy an early model car.

If I hear a sound difference then I'll find someone else. I'm hoping they opt for a hybrid V8 setup instead of scrapping it completely.

V8 or bust.

Yeah, gotta have the V8.

I can see this thread going like this:

1. Those with the V8 now, will likely not settle for anything less (even if it's faster).

2. Those with the V6 (and completely happy with it) will never understand why the V8 guys think the way we do.

I am in the V8 camp, just because every Camaro I've had going back to my first 1969 SS has been a V8.
Even though today's V6 has more power than the old V8's, they still will never have that sound.

I think as long as Ford or Dodge have a V8, then so will Chevy.
Of course sometime in the future, the internal combustion V8 we know today may not be with us.
But I don't think Chevy will be the first to do away with it.

Performance should be the motivating factor rather than number of cylinders. There’s lots of ways to get excellent performance out of less than 8 cylinders. The BMW M3 puts out 425 hp with a 3.0. More exotic V6s will do far better, and adding electric assist is a game changer which will probably eventually be mainstream in performance cars.

If it was a 475 HP twin turbo V6 with AWD , Yes i would .

Also, hybrid do not lend themselves to manual transmission.
If a manual transmission is not offered in a Camaro, it is NOT a Camaro.

That sounds like a plan for the next Z28

I get that much of this is subjective. As far as sound goes, the size of the cylinders makes a bigger difference than the number. My airplane has a big bore 6 cylinder and sounds nothing like most auto 6s. I wish I could duplicate the sound in a car. Motorcycles with big bore 2 cylinders can sound pretty amazing as well. As far as the feel goes, I’d just as soon have less weight up front all other things being equal.
