it means that the camaro might get an engine with around 450hp and great fuel mileage.

+1...but not around, more than 450 depending on how they tune it. This thing can also run on E85 if need be. Which is great, because that'll allow these fuel-burning V8's to stay around for a while longer. Instead of dying with the Electro-car revolution. It means that the LS3 is one of the last Generation IV engines. And this prototype engine is basically what the Generation V small-blocks will be like. I can't tell you how fast I was reading that article when I saw "V8 with Direct Injection". I was like, Wha--?!?! Then I just plowed through it. They also mentioned that with DI, it can allow for the same power numbers as a conventional big engine, but in a smaller-displacement engine. That'll contribute to fuel mileage as well as VVT, and AFM. Now to ask the Critical question: Generation V......or Hemi? Last edited by Mr. Wyndham; 09-03-2007 at 01:22 PM. |

What I want to know, is will the LS3 get some of this new tech since it's a Gen IV, or will we have to wait another year to get the Gen V engine??? If they build the Camaro w/ anything other than the LS3 for the first year, I'm holding off. Let's say they then build the Camaro w/ LS3. But, the Gen V's come out the following year.....see where I'm coming from?? jeez...

CALLING WHITERAG....damn, what an echo! I hadn't thought about that...he should be able to enlighten us (slightly).
Like I've said before, I can't get one untill 2010...so if they've got an LS3 in there...I'm gonna scour the internet and find out what GM plans to do with the second model year. Mind you, I aint waiting forever - I'll be plenty happy with an LS3. But if all I have to do is wait one more year for a Gen V...I'll do it. |
