I would love to see all this power adding technology attached to the LS3 or larger engine (think 500+hp SS), but the realities 35 mpg CAFE will soon make big displacement V8s impossible except for low volume, high priced cars. Once these draconian fuel economy mandates are in farce, the only viable options for a future SS will be downsized V8s or turbo V6s. These new engines are the best you can expect in this regulatory environment.

This guy is completely failing to realize that ford is upgrading to catch up and so is dodge. That just drops the camaro to the same level as the mustang not under the mustang. And dodge engines still fail even after they upgraded. The 5.7Hemi is still nowhere near the 5.0 mustang or ls3 camaro. And the new SRT engine is also nowhere near the gt500 or "possible" Z28.

Think of it as shifting gears...displacement is RPMs, and your shifting is new technology applied to the engine.
I don't think the Z28 will have this engine, for those who've mentioned it...validation testing, etc would mean they'd have to wait at least a year after the engine is released for use in vehicles...you want to wait LONGER for your Z28? I'm very excited about these engines...GM Powertrain has always put out fantastic engines, but these should be little game-changers. |

Yup, screw tech-no-logy, screw Chevy. They have no idea how to make the Camaro go faster if they use that new 5.5 DI engine. All they do is stick a bunch of monkeys together to these cars together, they never get stuff right. Especially this 5th gen Camaro. Worst. Car. Ever.

i be if it was 4.0 engine with 1000hp and 30 mpg some of you dudes will still find something to whine about and for the people that keep saying they didnt buy their camaro for gas mileage remember you are probably the minority they wouldn't mind a 500hp camaro that does 9mpg

so you people are telling me that it's ok for a DI 3.6 v6 to make more hp and tq then a none DI 4.3l v6 version but a DI V8 that's been down sized to less than 6.2 l making more hp and definitely making more tq isn't ok? you got to be kidding me. . .and who said the new gen V would rev higher? this isn't a DOHC motor we are talking about here. granted there might be increases in the redline but not by much.
people like to compare top model to top model with out regard to price. that kills me. you're saying it's ok to compare a 50K and 40k car to a 32-34k car? considering the SRT doesn't slaughter the current SS you are waisting your money on the SRT. . .performance per dollar. and the GT500 isn't even in the same league as the SS. come on it's 50k. if the camaro was priced out that high it better be able to hold it's own against the GT500. but it's not. it's a 31k starting out for the performance it has. . .which puts it in line with the GT. which the GT with brembo's and such is right in between the 1ss and 2ss for price. As for the people talking about how GM needs to get off it's butt. . .yea fords had an idea what GM was going to release for a while now. they've had time to plan and institute changes and raise the price of the mustang years before to pay for the changes. yea. . .GM isn't asleep it takes time and profits to change something. give them more then a year. sheesh this isn't the 60's any more, where corp spending through the roof and changes were every 30 days. . . |
