Hi all, Ive been watching the videos of the 6 gen at the nurburgring (links to videos), it looks to me they were testing 2 different V8's. If you look, there are two different exhaust. At first I thought that maybe it was just a v6 and v8, but after listening carefully, they both sound like V8s and the quad tipped exhaust camaro sounded more aggressive. I also noticed the lower grill on both are different, the more aggressive one had a z06 type lower grill, while he other one had what looked to be a normal camaro lower grill. Which leads me to believe that the more aggressive one, since I heard no supercharger whine, may be a z28 or maybe another hi performance version. And the other camaro, a regular SS. Sorry if this has already been discussed but just thought I would point out my observations, what do yall think?

It looks like that is an already know fact, sorry for the repost.

Yes, look at C7 for powertrains that will show up in Camaro.

If no supercharger can be heard then it's not following the C7. I'm guessing here since there exists no other V8's other than the LT1 and LT4, maybe it is not a separate v8. The different splitter and sound car could be an 1LE with active exhaust. And the base SS is testing a standard exhuast.

I'll bet there will be a NA V8, and a FI version of that same V8.

I'm hoping you are right,I will be ordering the 1le if it is an option. Supersound in the other thread thinks the z28 may absorb the 1le, which would be great if they lower the price. I would pay 50-55k for it, but can see paying more than that.

I would bet the farm on a supercharged version of the 6th gen Camaro. I see no way around it. The only question is which model it will be in.

I agree with you, but I don't think there will be a supercharged version this model year, maybe 2017, From those videos, I couldn't hear a whine from a supercharger, but those 2 cars did sound completely different. Different exhaust may be the differences, I'm not sure, maybe they are 2 different V8's. When was the last time GM done that on the first year of a new car?
