With FI our larger displacement engines will produce more power than yours. I would be willing to bet in 6 months there will be turbo V6 Camaros that are beating the Cobalts pushing the max PSI. Then you'll get bigger turbos and somebody with a Camaro will replace the tranny and up their boost. In the end, it will be about who has more money. Sooooo, the point made before is valid. Compare NA cars to NA cars and FI cars to FI cars. GM did a good job with both the Camaro and Cobalt. This isn't the Cobalt forum though, so either show  or expect to start getting flamed. |
Not when your comparing a 4 Cylinder that has forged internals, low compression and is designed from GM to be boosted. The V6 has neither of these and would cost a fortune to get all of it's FI potential.
Very few people have enough to money to do as they will with any car. Thus, the money and cost argument is always a valid one. It all comes down to what somebody wants, and I wanted my SC Cobalt and now I want an SS Camaro. It's all wants compared to cost.
