Perhaps all you old timers have forgotten, and you young whippersnappers don't know this, but in 1982-86 the 3rd gen Camaro had a 4 cylinder engine standard. The late unlamented Iron Duke. Yes it was awful but there is a precedent for it. I'm more concerned about this damn AFM system. Why can't we just have the 402 hp 6.2 as announced for the G8 GXP? You would think economies of scale would make this engine the way to go. I don't plan on having my '10 SS on "cruising mode" a great deal of the time. And why detune the CTS 3.6? It's not like the CTS and Camaro buyers will be cross shopping. Just my 2 cents
