the 2LT can run the snot out of a Cobalt. unless you're talking about the SS turbo, which is an entirely different beast, and still not a V6.

Yeah, the turbo, thats where the DI came from lol

I am interested in the new platform though i never thought the Camaro should be on the Zeta platform, as long as Alpha is a predominatly 2-door platform i'll be happy. Im annoyed at how the new Camaro and Challenger are just G8s and Chargers with a face lift and the removal of the back doors, so getting the Camaro back to a true 2-door platform will be a huge improvement

I think you guys are all missing the point. If it sucks,then my 5th gen will be the one worth the money, if it doesnt suck ,then my 5th gen will be more than paid off by then and I will preorder a bad ass 6th gen, but only if its a v8.

ahhh, but what if Ford went with a turbo V6 GT and it blew away the V8 Camaro?

:word: I'm sure they'll find a lighter weight V8 to throw in. And like everyone else mentioned, there's always the crate engines.

its got to be one sexy a$$ camaro (idk how 5th gen is HOT!) for me to buy a v6 camaro if its the top of the line...

I think you are all getting ahead of yourselves. We haven't even finish the first model year of the 5th gen and you're already bitching about the 6th gen. lol First CAFE is an issue. GM needs to up it's game big time with fuel efficiency but so does everyone else. So if GM couldn't find a way to work a V8 into the next Camaro Ford and Dodge and everyone else will have just as much a problem. There will be a V8 if they make a 6th Gen. It will probably have a gas guzzler tax and it will probably be the top trim and cost a lot. The reality is a Camaro without a V8 option just isn't a Camaro. Fbodfather knows that. He hs helped to bring us the car we know and love today and if a car in the future is to wear the Camaro name He will make sure that car deserves that name. These are rumors. Most rumors have a shred of truth to them. So it could be that the base engine is a twin turbo v6 putting out insane power, and a ridiculous (powered) V8 option who knows? The next Corvette is rumored to have a 700hp ZO6 and a 900hp ZR1 do you honestly think they would neuter the Camaro?

So what would be the point again? The 6th gen should suck so all the 5th gen owners profit? Sounds like those guys (for lack of oohhh so many preffered words) that would preffer the Z/28 never be made so their SS stays the top model, even if it means submitting to the competition and denying performance enthusiests. Personally i think thats just completely selfish and a complete betrayal of GM loyalty as far as those guys go...as far as the paying off and ordering a 6th gen thats more like it haha, as long as you can bring yourself to part with your 5th gen =P

There probably won't be a 5.0. If GM has to take this route you can bet they all will be taking it.
