Sorry, I'm about to spit out my random thoughts: I'm very excited to see what the C6 holds in store for us. I was suprised to see they called it as being MY 2016 before we see the C6 Camaro. Yeah, its only 5 or 6 years after the current gen which is the way product cycles seemed to go before, but I could have sworm I read that now they were going to speed up product cycles by a year or two if they could. If the car ends up being at least a couple hundred lbs lighter I'd be satisfied. If it was 300+ lbs lighter I'd be really delighted and surprised! If the car ends up being light enough, that a beefy N/A 4 cylinder car can get it around decently, then I'd see a real possibility for the V6 and V8 offerings. But if the base 4 is turbo charged then I highly doubt we see a V6 UNLESS they do a turbo V6 as the SS and a V8 for the ultra-premium models...but I'm not sure I see a turbo V6 as being in an SS just yet. 7th gen...I can see it since more us "youngins" will be more accepting of a non-V8 engine in an SS camaro. I know most don't care, but I'd LOVE to see what a slightly more powerful, fuel efficent V6 like the LLT could do in a 3,400 lb Camaro. With some gearing, it would be awsome. Just search youtube for the 2011 mustang V6 with only a tune and gears (stock tires) doing a 13.1 quarter miles. Awsomeness. Car should be smaller, but don't be scared when that word "smaller" is thrown around. Its not going to be the size of a dang Aveo people....I'd bet closer to 4th gen size, but maybe roomier than that. Anyways, enough from me....

Weird. 4cyl-V8? Kinda odd to skip the 6cyl altogether However, I'm all for a slightly smaller, more spritely version of Camaro. Would be refreshing as a driver to be able to work with the car instead of always battling its weight in one way or another. Bring it on, just make sure it REMAINS CAMARO!
I'd also like to point out the colossal failure of 4-cyl Camaros in the past. They're really gonna have to change up the tune of that song if they want it to get rotation...

One of the reasons I haven't bought a 5th gen was the mass/weight. A smaller/lighter Camaro has a lot of appeal to me.

All i know im keeping this one forever also and will get a 6th gen if it a V8. Just wondering how it would look. Dont think it will be that much of a difference of the 5th gen. Might be more rounder or triangular....idk. |

These guys know as much about the Camaro as a retarded monkey does. I forgot to mention, I was talking about the 5th gen. Who knows how much less they know about the 6th gen.

This was posted elsewhere, but thought it fit nicely here:
2014 ATS engine spec sheet (of course I can't say it is "confirmed") http://www.motorauthority.com/image/...ats-spec-sheet

ATS is one of those cars that GM is being super tight-lipped about...which is a good thing.

For those seriously concerned about 8-speed automatics and smaller V8s, I suggest you trip on down to the Lexus Store and have at an IS-F...5.0 L with 416 hp + under 3800 lbs (the Camaro will be even less...) + 8-speed paddleshift slushbox = easy 12s off the showroom floor...and laptimes @ VIR roughly = to the CTS-V and '11 Shelby GT500 in Car and Driver's recent 20-car shootout...
Benchmark that for Gen-6...with even more from the next-Gen Z/28... |
