I hope the Camaro comes back as a V8, and I'm totally OK with them offering a hybrid system as well alongside the high performance V8s, both NA and supercharged or turbo if needed to meet emissions. But I prefer the power delivery of the supercharged engine like the LT4 over turbo engines.
For some reason GM has to go through a painful learning curve! first they have to perfect the new electric vet, then maybe bring back the Camaro. It takes a while to be ahead of the times.

If you look at Chevy all the way back to the 60's, they either cant or wont learn. I'll bet Dodge will but a new V8 in their cars way before Chevy will. In fact, I'm sure Dodge will put a V8 in a pony car and GM flat out wont.

Are you talking about those white structures?

Those aren’t diesel generators. That’s the electrical equipment that sends power to the plugs.

Not a V8, but according to the article there will be a 410hp version and the possibility of a 510hp option. Assuming there is a 510hp version that’s going to put it on par with the SS in terms of HP:weight.

Those standards do not force EVs. Toyota, Honda and Hyundai-Kia can meet those standards by increasing the volume of hybrids they sell. Toyota has already made several of their product lines hybrid only (Prius, Venza, Sienna, and another one that I don’t recall off the top of my head). That was in anticipation of these regulations.

Other automakers could have chosen this path. But they didn’t. They chose EV.
