Yep. That would make a really fun daily driver. I would love to see a NA V-6 in the sixth gen myself.

there will definitly be a v6 option

I hope you are right. Time will tell!

V8 is what most people dreamed of including myself when I bought my camaro but I settled for a V6 because of the $4.80/gallon here in SoCal. Besides, for most people 323 hp is more than enough. I also noticed the slight advantage with a V6 is that it's lighter and with suspension and intake upgrades, it's a good track car.

Honestly the more I see it, look at all the V6s is in different cars, theyre putting out sold HP and fuel economy, I dont see why GM would remove the V6 option all together.
At the end of the day, the 2LS gets 30mpg
Cant expect a sports car to be getting 40mpg.
Thats why theyres different segments.
I think GM would be making a big mistake trying to dilute the Camaro for more fuel econ and yes I know the 4cyl Turbos can make a strong car but it also didnt make sense in the 5th gen, they tried it.
The v6 always seems to be the upper vairant to 4cyl models and I dont see that changing. Atleast I hope not.

Personally wouldnt want to HEAR a 4cyl Camaro, guess this is how the V8 guys feel about us :laugh:

I hope they keep the V-6 as well...I sort of look at them these days as having the niche of the "small(er)" blocks that we can't get anymore...

With only one V-8 available, the V-6 more than amply fills the need for another engine option...Looks like the I-4 is gonna happen, just think if it kills the V-6, it's a classic case of fixing something that isn't broke...

...New Caddy V-6 TT is out...looks awesome...

See if I've got this straight - people want tap-shift in order to emulate the 3-pedal conventional MT driving experience, but only to a point.


I'm sure that they're listening. What matters is how much weight they're willing to give the opinions of us enthusiasts relative to whatever the lowest-common-denominator transportation-appliance buyer expects.


You do realize that the 3800/3.8/nee 231 is basically a late 1950's design, don't you? There is no longer sufficient reason for a V6 to have the V8's 90° design.


Sooner or later, somebody was going to say that. What's funny now that 4's of any configuration are likely, sixxer fans are actually starting to get support from the V8 segment.


TT to get only 370-ish HP because you can't be crowding the 450 HP V8 doesn't seem worth the effort. It would be even harder to justify as a midpoint between a NA V6 and the V8 than the NA V6 is between a turbo-4 and the V8.


Dunno, maybe an uprated NA V6 fitted as the manual transmission entry point and the turbo-4 with the automatics is a possibility. Still only two combinations to certify. The sixxer would be better at very low revs where you'd really rather not have to downshift no matter who you are (trust me on this point). And the AT would keep you out of such situations at least when driven in full automatic mode (like most buyers really would) and you'd be into boost almost instantly.

Interesting.....

With the next-gen architecture and thrust-to-weight ratio (not to mention fuel economy), only fringe Camaro customers (1%-ers?) would find a TT V6 "lacking". There's always the C7 Vette if "Ummmmm... well...... it's just not enough for me".

Having said that, the Camaro vs. Mustang rivalry might prompt V8 consideration amongst GM's "Car Guys and Gals".

We shall see...

It'll be interesting to see it the TT V6 makes it into the next Camaro. My first instinct would be, no, it won't because TT V6 is going to be an expensive engine to build and the V8 offers similar performance for less money.

On the other hand, economies of scale would suggest that GM will try to recoup it investment in this TT V6 by offering it in more than just the CTS. Obviously, the ATS and the XTS are possible candidates for offering the engine. Some theoretical Alpha-platform Buick (Grand National?) might also be a possibility. And, then, of course, there's the Camaro. We'll see...

LF3 TT6 is the next plug and play variant of high performance, coming to just about everything in a neighborhood near you in the not too distant future.

GM needs to bring back the LL8 and put it in trucks and cars too.

Fair game.....:lol:
