Pretty much the same reasons that some people want 6 cylinder Camaros. More fuel efficient, weigh less, and cost less. Its not that big of a mystery really.

And keep in mind that the new naturally aspirated 2.5L 4 banger has a similar overall output to the 3.4L V6 used in Camaros 20 years ago, and a good deal more than the 2.8L V6 used 30 years ago. GM's turbo4 makes numbers that aren't too far from what the supercharged 3800s were making in the late 90's.

But have you guys seen what a tune does to the new 2.0 T4 in the buick and the ATS?

Thats near L99 Territory torque at the wheels right there:

You keep posting this. But who warranties this hand grenade?

You've been close to where I live a couple times. Imagine that whole area as farmland and that's how it was when I was growing up. So yeah, it kinda was. :laugh:

Nobody. Whats your point? You ever modded a car before? If so, then you also willing to throw away your warranty.

I'm not saying I'd be perfectly comfortable pushing the stock internals to the limit either, but its worth letting people know what these things are capable of with just a tune right? Its interesting. Maybe it doesn't sound V8 like, but thinking these things are slow is just old thinking.

Just an observation....seems like whenever a discussion over this I-4 in a Camaro comes up, it's praises as a respectable performance motor are only made after elaborate modifications have been added....Sure, you can probably mod the heck out of something for greater numbers, but in stock form, as it will probably be made, won't even be close to those...sort of defeats the affordable, entry-level argument...

Are you insulting gray Camaros? :paddle: :laugh:

Of course not. It's just simply any other color Camaro that got old and needs AARP :sm0:

Furthermore, my 1994 Camaro was a v6 when I bought it. I'm now one of the most passionate Camaro enthusiasts you'll meet. I run a Michigan-based Camaro and Firebird website with over 2300 members, I host a 300+ Camaro and Firebird specific car show every year, go to a ton of shows through the "car show season" in Michigan, registered on basically every Camaro forum on the internet, etc. Because of my '94 Camaro v6, I am likewise passionate about General Motors in general which made me work extra hard to get a job at General Motors world headquarters in Detroit. I eat, breathe, sleep GM and Camaro. I cannot imagine NOT owning at least one Camaro now for the rest of my life... And all that because of a v6...

So when I found out I could afford a 5th gen if I went with the base, 1LS model... Yeah, I didn't hesitate. :laugh:
We aren't talking about v6 Camaros we're talking 4bangers. If 4 banger SS's are cool, why NOT 2 cylinder smart Camaros or electric Prius Camaros? :barf:

:facepalm:

Nobody's talking about putting a 4-cylinder in the SS.

Good. :mad0260: It makes me ill. As for how great they perform when FI, can't you FI a V8? The new DI V8 on the 2014 Stingray seems to get good gas milage. (Not that I truly cared about that when I bought my SS or that it will be my first consideration if they make an LS7 Z28!

FenwickHockey65 02-07-2013 10:53 PM
Yes. And the LT1 will go into the 6th gen. We're talking base engines here.

A smaller, lighter Camaro on Alpha will perform very well with the 2.0T LTG. Just look at ATS.

I would buy 4cyl. in other cars, but never in a camaro. That would be too much of a compromise.

That's a ridiculous statement. Here's a no cylinder car that blows the doors off your Camaro:
