Any particular reason?

Twin Turbo V6, bettter gas mileage, weighed less, cheaper to produce, cheaper to buy, and more power than the current V8....

I could care less about MPG's or I would not have purchased a Camaro. Cheaper to buy, who knows on that? Less weight, I'll give you that, but the weight won’t be all that significant. Compare to the current V8, we'll if you are going to that I’d still rather see a TTV8.

For me it's all about the image. I'm sorry but I don't care what you add to a V6, it's just not what "I" would consider a muscle car. To each their own I guess.

And I am not saying they should not add a TTV6 as an option, there will certainly be a market for it, just not give it the Z28 tag.

Turbo V6 Z/28 they said

Nobody will question it they said

But it has TWO turbos they said

It's missing two cylinders WE said.

:p op2:
I'm guessing the pricing won't be announced until after they are actually reveled at the end of this month at the NY auto show. Pricing will likely follow soon after or in a month or two.

Production for a new MY typically begins in June/July, so look for them in dealer showrooms this fall.

Base prices may reflect a typical modest increaseand other pricing would depend on any improvements/upgrades and or new additional options.

I'm guessing base prices will increase by $300-500 but that's only a WAG.

ummmm sorry no, it will not weight less, will not be cheaper to produce and does not have more power than the current LS3..plus the LS3 sounds way cooler. Add weight for 2 turbos and plumbing, heat exchanger..there are a TON of LS3's left in a warehouse that need to be used and another reason they are going into the new SS Sedan..they would have just put the TTV6 in there if it was cost effective. Do homework.

When did you visit this warehouse?

as you stated "TONS" could be used on the "SS" all together

Follow me here..... the CTS V has\had the LSA engine 1st which made it way in to the ZL1

Caddillac CTS sedan is also going to debut the Twin 420HP 430Torque twin turbo V6 03/27 at the NY auto show

it sure it could find it way into a Camaro

this is all speculation but....

Twin Turbo V6, bettter gas mileage, weighed less, cheaper to produce, cheaper to buy, and more power
TTV6 doesn't get any better mileage than the LS3. I doubt it weighs much less, doubt it will cheaper either.

BOOM. Absolutely right, if they wanted to get rid of the Ls3 they wouldn't have put it in the new SS sedan.
