Sorry but that whole idea doesn't float, first off muscle cars died along time a go. Back during the muscle car days, not all trim levels of the cars were for performance. All the cars came with straight sixes up to big block V8's to fit all markets, nothing has changed since then.

Like it or not, this the way its going. I guarantee the mustang gets an ecoboost as a base engine. I've also heard rumors that chrsyler is working on a smaller replacement for the challenger that will be powered by a turbo4 as a base.

Mustang's certain to have an EcoBoost 4 cylinder. They're planning on selling it as a global car which means they need to get around displacement taxes in overseas markets.

And just sayin', Camaro may go the same route.

i never said i expected it to have a shot against a LS3, thats been my point...

all i did was give my opinion on this "future camaro"...guess I am not allowed.

Didn't you hear, the challenger is a dead platform soon to be replaced by the SRT Cuda.

In any case, supposedly the final design for the 6th gen is being worked on as we speak.

Now that is exciting.... :popcorn:

I just don't get why there has to be all this arguing about what engines the Camaro "should have". As long as they are made available with performance equal to or better than today's Camaro it shouldn't matter if it has 4, 6, 8 or even no Cylinders at all

trewyn15 12-03-2012 11:24 PM

They SHOULD probably just all come stock like this:

That's honestly how I feel, I also think that there's a lot more work going into getting better mileage out of the smaller cylinder motors, unfortunately.

oldfriend 12-03-2012 11:34 PM

I really don't see the problem , specially when we already know , that the platform will be much lighter , and on top of that with a turbo to increase the boost to where we the consumers may wanted .

After all we already have a four cylinder non turbo on a car way heavier , and that the SS AUTO with the L99 ENGINE , that is a part timer 4 INLINE .
