Is this an early indication the 6th gen Camaro will not have a V8? I've always believed the 5th gen will be the last V8 powered Camaro. We might be seeing a V6 powered ZL1 in the future (6th gen). Sounds bad? A twin turbo V6 in a ~3600 lbs chassis might change your mind!

Regardless of the forced power, its a 4... but it will be interesting to see what happens.
