Appearing as #35 on the 50 worst cars of ALL TIME!
the Camaro Iron Duke-- "There was a time when 90 horsepower was a lot, and that time was 1932. Fifty years later, it was bupkis, especially under the hood of Chevy's beloved Mustang-fighter, the Camaro. As the base engine for the redesigned 1982 Camaro (and Pontiac Firebird), the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder "Iron Duke" was the smallest, least powerful, most un-Camaro-like engine that could be and, like the California Corvette, it was connected to a low-tech three-speed slushbox. So equipped, the Iron Duke Camaro had 0-60 mph acceleration of around 20 seconds, which left Camaro owners to drum their fingers while school buses rocketed past in a blur of yellow."

The v10 would be pretty expensive. There would be a lot of cars in that price range so I don't think they would be big sellers.

Tried going on last night and got message the servers were not responding or something. Many posts from yesterday seem to be gone.

Compared with 278TQ for the 3.6 HF, not exactly a good comparison, thought I owned both 4TH gen V8 and 5TH gen V6, the V6 does pull almost as good thanks to the 6-speed auto. |

I mean, they already damn near did it with an optional GM factory tune for the Cobalt SS. 290hp and 340TQ http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...umber=19212670 I think whatever Ford does could be a clue on what GM does. Rumors suggest that the next Mustang base engine will be the V6, with possibly a slight power increase over the 305HP/280TQ it currently has. An optional engine could would be the turbo 4, and if that is true I'd expect it to have around 300hp and 340+ TQ.

Why would you want to have a 4 cylinder turbo equal to the V6? The reason to buy the V6 can't simply be "hey, I want equal performance but worse FE"? Also you have to consider why GM made the GMPP kit available as an aftermarket accessory and not a production improvement. Guessing there is some warranty issues that are covered by the extra $500 it cost. I had that kit in my Sky Redline. It made a really nice improvement. The biggest was the torque jump. Going from 270 to 300 was ok but it pulled like a little locomotive with the 335 (if I recall correctly) lbft of torque. If they try to pump up the 2.0T to the levels everyone keeps suggesting, then there won't be a need for the 6 cylinder. It will just be 4 cylinder and 8 cylinders optional. I can't say anymore what they will or won't do. I'm now guessing like everyone else. But I don't see them trying to make a 330 hp 4 cylinder for the Camaro or even for the Cadillac ATS/CTS which arguably would need it more than the Camaro for image.

All I'm thinking is of the massive size of the Camaro's engine bay, and how a 4 cyl would look in it...
(Family Guy' Consuela's voice) No....noo....

Well there are too many posts to read from the start,but I Believe GM has to do what makes sense. Although I dont like the idea of it having a 4cyl..there is a V-6 that makes 300hp,and thats a lot compared to the LS1 only having 300 that started the whole ls thing..why lower the price point even more !!! if those that cant afford it priced at what it is why lower it to the point that those of us that spend 30k to 60k for it have to see one on every corner with stickers to make them faster...do we need a 19k 200hp camaro ? sure if it had 400hp,lol

A four cylinder engine note doesn't fit the camaro. Plus a four cylinder doesn't seem very muscly at all
