Look closely at the throttle-body size and shape and the bolts holding it on, the three fluid reservoirs in the same locations, all cues that this is indeed the glorious direct-injection V6.

Hey! That's what I said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Camaro V6 should come in under 3600lbs. And it'll have a 6-speed, too.
Let's say the Challenger will lose a hundred pounds thanks to a smaller engine

The numbers tell the case: Challenger's Power to weight ratio is: 10.8
Camaro's would be 11.8. The Challenger is faster, but it's not "more than enough" to kick the DI V6's ass. Think back to G8/Challenger SRT8. (G8 = 11.08; SRT8 = 9.64), yet the G8 kept right on it's tail. Scary.

As it stands;
300hp V6, 400hp V8, and 500+hp V8. With a high probability of a 260hp T4.
Any questions?

Something of note to add to this:

The 2.0L turbo is currently rated at 260HP, however there is good information that GM is talking about or planning a 300HP version of said engine. It was mentioned for the Targa Solstice GXP model. It has been known for a while that GM left some HP on the table when they did the 2.0L

who knows.

After looking super close, I've come to the conclusion that, that is a challenger sitting next to our beloved Camaro, i think. Also, why is there a Dodge Caliber next to it on the other side?? Are they comparing performace stats between the three?? j/k

Not saying anything. The talk is about the 2.0L turbo going into the Solstice targa GXP. I imagine that is because they don't want to try and fit a V6 into it. However it does become important when we are talking about that engine going into the Camaro because it means that it could be more than 260HP.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose, though? I mean, putting a 300 horse Turbo 4 in the base Camaro. The Sky/Solctice is 28 grand for that 260 horse Turbo...if they popped it in the Camaro for 20k, they'd need to give the Solctice/Sky folks something to make them feel 'special', to keep the the Red Line/GXP models stronger than an entry-level car, you know? That's what I think they may be doing...

If I'm wrong about the R/T being the Hemi, I appologize. I think it would be a V6 DI Camaro because of the torque, at least in a 1320. I think Camaro would pull at the top, but still don't think it would outrun a Hemi. Who knows though; with the right gearing, that little V6 could pull a Hemi, perhaps.

We'll find out soon enough

GM has made moves that don't make sense before....Honestly my only point was that 260HP isn't set in stone. To me, I don't care. I've V8 bound. I can't imagine the turbo 2 L getting better much better gas mileage than the 3.6L DI in the Camaro, so to me, the whole idea of the 2.0L turbo doesn't makes any sense. That motor isn't made in quantity so I'm betting the cost difference between the 3.6L and 2.0 L is insignificant. Why bother?

your right, the upgraded 5.7 Hemi

[Radcannon]

it is the LLT same as the caddys. She will be direct injection. If you guys are looking for real performance though i would go G8 all the way the thing is sick trust me. The new one u want ls3 here i come.
