I don't think GM had a choice, with CAFE standards, etc. They have to build/sell some of these so that they can still offer the 6.2 & 7.0 L engines in high horsepower form.

I agree and I disagree.
Do I believe a Camaro is, at its core, a V8? Yes. But I also think a turbo I-4 is a lot tougher than a V6, and they've made V6's for decades. If anything, I say get rid of the V6 altogether and keep the turbo I-4 and V8 models.

Wait and see, the v-8 will go bye-bye first. The twin turbo v-6 in the CTSV is putting out 464hp stock, and with a simple inter cooler upgrade I bet it's over 500, not sure though, does anybody know for sure?

So you would rather have a 275hp turbo 4 over a 335hp v6 ? Really? If they eventually get rid of the v8 ( long time from now hopefully )you might regret wanting to get rid of the V6 .

I read in the forum that Chrysler has slated the v-8 hemi's last production run is in 2019. I don't think that the 6.2 and especially the 7.0 will last much longer than that because of the cafe standards. They may decide to F/I a smaller cubic inch model. The stock turbo 4 is already quicker than a stock gen 5 v-6.

I think dropping the V6 would be a bad idea though. Not everyone wants a high strung 4 cyl turbo with piped in exhaust noises or the big honking 455 hp V8. Having the N/A V6 placed in the middle of the engine lineup is a good idea. After all, it is making 335 hp in the 6th gen, 60 hp more than the LTG 4 cyl. Sure, the turbo 4 could possibly make that much power or even more with the boost turned up. However, not everyone who buys the turbo is going turn up the boost like a madman. Especially those folks who are concerned about keeping the powertrain warranty. Just my $.02. |
