That, AND, the G8 is not a Camaro. and although it uses the Zeta platform, the Camaro's rendition should be radically different (in it's own right). Zeta was built for change, and adaptability. So saying that an engine is already fitted for the G8 chassis, or the VXR8 chassis (I know I just did  ) doesn't hold as much wieght as it would when regarding 'normal' cars, I think. (IMHO) |
Yeah, I know Zeta is flexible, but using the same engine in multiple applications keeps costs down and helps GMPP develop some good mods for us to buy. Also it has AFM, which GM probably wants to use for the base V8 to keep fuel economy at respectable levels. My point is, if they want to have price and power levels competitive with the Mustang and best in class fuel economy, the L76 is a very tempting choice, and so much the better that they know it already works well in the Zeta platform.
