First, it brings legitimacy to V6 muscle cars. If they pit it against V8s like the Mustang GT, it will look great in comparison. It will compete with the 350Z, so it would bring some of the ricer crowd away from their favorite Asian cars and show them that American V6s run with the best of them.

Second, we can't expect our car to be the focus of the movie. If they pick a V6, it won't be disappointing that it isn't the best because it wouldn't even be the best Camaro. If they pick a V8 and make it lose to a car that doesn't even come close performance-wise, then it would take legitimacy from the whole movie. It would be like a Honda beating a Ferrari. In the case of this movie, that might be pretty close to the comparison, especially given the Camaro Nurburgring times showing how closely the new Camaro V8 can run with some top exotics.

Third, it puts the Camaro in the same category as everyone's favorite ricers. This might sound awful for those of us who hate Lancers with fart can exhausts, fake spinners, and spoilers that don't belong on cars that barely have 200 horses, but we need to look at the Camaro as a huge business investment from a company that is in dire need of sales. If GM can sell this car to anyone right now, they will. We the enthusiasts need this car to sell to justify GM's investment in this car and potential future investment in other performance cars, possibly including performance Camaros like the 1LE, ZL1, and everyone's favorite Z28.

Basically, the Camaro is a great machine that needs product placement. Some members of this site have recently claimed that the Transformers movie brought them to our side of the table. This film is a great opportunity for GM to take a stand against the imports that have so deeply dug into the American car market.

LOL... Nothing is going to beat the Transformers product placement for the Camaro and other GM cars.. If it does appear in this FF4 movie. then it should be as the bad guys favorite car all pimped out. it should put KITT's super pursuit mode to shame in how bad it looks..(and bad means bad in this context) It should be up against whatever car Vin Diesel drives in the very end and put up a good fight using NOS and other engine mods.. It should be involved in a race against Hans driving a ricer and Hans gets killed again.. Hans should be like Kenny from South Park and the but of a running joke in each Fast and the Furious sequel... OK, I'm done rambling..lol.. I'll still watch this movie as I've watched the rest and be thinking to myself...cheeseball.. every time...
