Really like this concept and looking forward to seeing what Chevrolet makes up with for the 6th gen ;)

I'm gonna call it now. base - V6 Z28 - V6TT SS - V8 ZL1 - V8 S/C (Z28 & SS, can be swapped depending on which one you think is the higher trim) |
Not that some may care, but there is some info that ford may drop a 330+ HP/330+ TQ turbo 4 in its next gen base Mustang. That is impressive. Whether its true or not, who knows, but the engine does exist and used in the European market.
If Chevy bumps power to 300+ HP and TQ then I can see them using it in the base Camaro assuming the car is in the 3,400 lb range. Then it will perform very similar if not a bit better than today's V6. Otherwise if the power is lower, or the weight is higher then there will still be reason for a V6 which hopefully will have even more HP than today's 323HP LFX. If the weight is low and the power of the turbo 4 is 300+ then I really see no reason for a V6 option (as much as I hate to say that because I want to see the V6 return). I do think a TTV6 is a real possibility for sure. |

When you say base V-6 do you mean LFX engine? so 321BHP (as in the alpha ATS). V6 TT engine? which one as GM has been working on two different turbo V6 engines. One based on the 3.0L engine and another based on the 3.6L engine with the rumored power rating of the 3.6L engine being about 425BHP. In that case what would be the power level of the SS V-8 engine? based on some early data there is a 6.2L 475BHP Gen V engine. Also its likely that future forced induction V8 engine will be twin turbocharged and not super charged. Seeing that the ATS V might pack a TT V-6 engine its also likely that the Alpha Camaro will pack the same engine. I honestly would love to see a 5.0L V-8 engine dropped into a Z28 Camaro, would make things interesting. Add to that a 5.0L Hemi Cuda then we could have some real fun..... |

We're not going to see true Camaro concepts until the next Mustang is close to production or the Gen5 sales go way down. |
This drawing is ok, but it's not better than the fifth gen and it looks too much like one. I lke the 2nd gen re-hashes better than this though I don't really want the 6th gen to like like a modern 2nd gen. I would like something completely new and different. They could go that direction and stiil make it look like a Camaro.

I'd buy it. Looks really cool.
|
Short, Phat, Wide, & Lighter... That is exactly what I want it to look like, basically a face lift 5th Gen:headbang:
That is so darn sweet, im so glad I held out. I will be selling my Beast Blue Challenger R/T to get that baby. Hey Taylor, do you know the engine selection? Thanks a lot for making my day a tad better! |

I see no need to swap that beauty. |

Styling needs few changes, weight, suspension and drivetrain do. Let's hope they hit another home run with any changes. |

I doubt we'll see V8's in the six gen. Probably top engine will be turbo or blown V6. If there are 8's they would be NA for sure and likely smaller cubes.
They aren't downsizing to go faster, they are downsizing to get better fuel economy. |

Whatever they do with the "global" design, they better not forget the Camaro is an American car, an American muscle car, and should not look like a bar of soap or upside down bathtub.
Should have design cues to previous generations, the first gen is the most handsome of those. I like the pics by the OP. Facts are it will be lighter, on the ATS platform, which base model is under 3400 lbs. ATS sedan should be in dealerships by fall. It will have a V8 option, V8s will soon be DI. Debut in 2014 Vette next yr. |
This looks kinda more like a facelift than a total redesign so i dont think that will be anything what it will look like but i do like the rear end pic of the render. I doubt the Z28 will be a TTV6 cause the Z28 is meant to be more a road racing car so u dont want a car that has lag in it. I see more of a higher revving version of the SS motor with a lil more HP up top than down low tq. Just my opinion and speculation.

It's actually pretty Damn nice!!!
|
So I have to have this paid off in two years check!!!! :w00t:
|
Love it... As long as it's faster than a ZL1 count me in...:thumbsup:
