Anything could happen...

South Africans think it'll be detuned -

"The lighter 3.6-litre V6 engine is rumoured to endow the entry level Camaro model with near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, ensuring engaging driving dynamics.

The engine is sourced from the acclaimed Cadillac CTS, although it has been detuned from the 225kW it produces in the Caddy to ensure better (fuel) consumption in the Camaro application. "

And these people: (The entire world is mis-led if this is wrong) Could happen.

"GM plans V8 and V6 versions of the Camaro coupe and convertible. The V6 version will be powered by the same engine used in the Cadillac CTS, a direct-injection, 3.6-litre quad-cam unit rated at 225kW.

But it would be detuned in the Camaro to deliver around 195kW and fuel usage of about 12 litres/100km (24mpg).

Those fuel figures would put the Camaro among best in class for a US performance car, he said."
