I dont think as of now that DOD or AFM will be available in the Camaro's because of performance in mind. Although i could be wrong I've heard a bunch going both ways. The DOD has one major flaw in my mind and that is that it is computer controlled off of torque demand and throttle which i believe it should be completely user controlled and be turned on and off like traction control or overdrive. In 6th gear with DOD on you would be getting above 35 mpg because the car would still be geared like a big v8 but dropping down have the displacement in an overdrive that could be .4 to 1.
Also we already know the LS3 is VVT and it will definetly support E85 but the thing is how much fuel economy will we get with E85 in a high reving large displacement motor. As for DI any DI V8 is two years in the work and I cant tell you what but it will be in the luxury models just like the V6 was. Think of the flagship for the luxury models, but its a luxury option and as of now it is not mentioned to be anything else. Dont think it will drop down the lower market soon because the only reason the 3.6 will be offered in the Camaro is because the cadalliac engineers are working on it. I never said the techonology was being dropped.
The LS3 will be in the car. THe LS2 is dead end of story. I dont mean to upset you guys. Just what i know. You can wait to see for yourself though.
