Funny that the ratio of GM Camaro show cars is roughly 80% V8 and 20% V6, The pre-orders are roughly 80% V8 and 20% V6, but production is 50/50 at best or flipped 20%/80%. If they follow the path they did with the "new" GTO and sell a grand total of 40k cars over 3 years they will fail. Ford listened to the Mustang owners and sold 200K a year. If GM repeats their arrogance and tells the market they have all of the right answers, the market will drive them to bankruptcy. There are a lot of intelligent people at GM. Unfortunately big egos, personal greed and high level politics kill sensibility.

If worse comes to worse and and they drag out the V8's by flooding the market with V6's, grab yourself a V6 RS, strip out the driveline and put an LSX in it.

Hopefully, this is just a simple blip in production. Time will tell. Be as patient as you can allow yourself to be. At least they are still actually producing the 5th gen Camaro.
