First, it brings legitimacy to V6 muscle cars. If they pit it against V8s like the Mustang GT, it will look great in comparison. It will compete with the 350Z, so it would bring some of the ricer crowd away from their favorite Asian cars and show them that American V6s run with the best of them.

Second, we can't expect our car to be the focus of the movie. If they pick a V6, it won't be disappointing that it isn't the best because it wouldn't even be the best Camaro. If they pick a V8 and make it lose to a car that doesn't even come close performance-wise, then it would take legitimacy from the whole movie. It would be like a Honda beating a Ferrari. In the case of this movie, that might be pretty close to the comparison, especially given the Camaro Nurburgring times showing how closely the new Camaro V8 can run with some top exotics.

Third, it puts the Camaro in the same category as everyone's favorite ricers. This might sound awful for those of us who hate Lancers with fart can exhausts, fake spinners, and spoilers that don't belong on cars that barely have 200 horses, but we need to look at the Camaro as a huge business investment from a company that is in dire need of sales. If GM can sell this car to anyone right now, they will. We the enthusiasts need this car to sell to justify GM's investment in this car and potential future investment in other performance cars, possibly including performance Camaros like the 1LE, ZL1, and everyone's favorite Z28.

Basically, the Camaro is a great machine that needs product placement. Some members of this site have recently claimed that the Transformers movie brought them to our side of the table. This film is a great opportunity for GM to take a stand against the imports that have so deeply dug into the American car market.

LOL... Nothing is going to beat the Transformers product placement for the Camaro and other GM cars.. If it does appear in this FF4 movie. then it should be as the bad guys favorite car all pimped out. it should put KITT's super pursuit mode to shame in how bad it looks..(and bad means bad in this context) It should be up against whatever car Vin Diesel drives in the very end and put up a good fight using NOS and other engine mods.. It should be involved in a race against Hans driving a ricer and Hans gets killed again.. Hans should be like Kenny from South Park and the but of a running joke in each Fast and the Furious sequel... OK, I'm done rambling..lol.. I'll still watch this movie as I've watched the rest and be thinking to myself...cheeseball.. every time...

You haven't spent much time near the Mexico border have you.

I enjoyed all 3 films even if most ppl think that the 1st was the better movie because it had a better story line and the others were just follow ups. You don't have to be amazed by a movie to like it.

I 've seing pix of older Camaros in FF4 so I doubt the new Camaro will be there. But even if it is, and I hope it is even for a few secs, it can only be a good advertisment. If the movie suckz, that will have nothing to do with the Camaro or any other car in it.

K, unless they give it to a "smart" driver, like that one in FF2 where he managed to get his car under the truck on the highway. That would not be nice, seriously now...

FF2 was the only good movie out of the 3 so far.

FF1 was second best

and don't get me started on FF3

come on a nissan engine in a old school mustang? give me a break. who ever thought of that should be shot.

[AZGUY]

I wanted to shoot myself after seeing that nissan engine go in the Mustang. If the world is that far down the tubes, I don't want to be involved.

Who knows. It might have been an upgrade...It was a built turbo engine. probably put out more than the 300 hp from a mustang GT. I doubt they had many mustangs there anyways.

doesn't matter it's just plane wrong for that transplant to have happened. and where's the torque?

[Mindz]

Going downhill, you don't need that much torque as the revs are almost always up near redline.

but you're not always going down hill.

Considering the mustang was built just for that particular downhill battle... yes, in that car's case it was always going down hill.

how did it get up the hill then? lol. devils advocat here with that. . .the didn't show the 30 min drive up the mountain in 1st because there wasn't enough power to pull it up there faster then 20 mph.
