Don't get me wrong, I strongly believe there needs to be an engine option between the 330ish HP V6 and 450 LT1. I just don't think the 3.6TT is the right way to get there. |

One big reason, fuel economy. The TT-V6 I've heard would be on par with LS V8 economy. Couple that with the disappointing economy of the 2.0T (at least in the forms we have seen, 31MPG is the best it can do) and you can be sure the TT-V6 will not replace the V6. The current LFX makes more power with the same fuel economy than the 2.0T, and the proposed LGX will improve on that in all respects. GM is likely setting up the 2.0T to be the poor man's Camaro, with it being at the bottom of the price list. I personally don't believe we will see the TT-V6 in the Camaro, but if anything it would be a special option, not a replacement for any current engine.

As I mentioned earlier, there are NO current plans for a TTV6 in the Camaro, so I guess we can talk about it in a theoretical sense, but it's not going in the Camaro. It will probably remain a Cadillac exclusive for a while. Last edited by Z/284ever; 02-16-2015 at 09:37 AM. |

Why don't one of you guys link the quote where someone from GM says there will be a 4 cylinder? Oh that's right, no one at GM has ever said there would be a 4 cylinder Camaro. It's entirely a fantasy of this forum.

Where is the quote stating there will be a V8?

Patience. You'll have your official word on it soon enough.

The rumor of the engine line up was posted on a bunch of forums a while back, at 2.0T 4 was one of them. Not a fantasy at all, more likely a very high probability.

I've had more than one source confirm it to me. The 2.0T has been a done deal on the 6th gen from the very beginning. I don't know why some people find it so hard to believe.

I just read a engine report of all the gen 5 engines already being produced by GM and there is no mention for the 7.1 or the LSA. They are Gen 4 motors. I do not think they are going to exist after 2015. All the performance engines have been moved to the Tonawanda Plant in Buffalo and attached is all the production engines there building. This reveal is going to have some twist's and turns.

Ford positioned their Ecoboost above the V6. Many believe this is because Ford will move to drop the V6 altogether at a later date (V6 doesn't get Premium trim or Performance Pack, making it an absolute base car). Most believe now this is what Al was referring too. That GM will not have a turbo 4 replace the V6 and Al will fight to keep all cylinder options available. Adding a turbo 4 in addition to V6 and V8 options is not losing anything, but gaining more flexibility in sales. Also Al's comments were made in 2013, well before Mustang actually went on sale and well before all the good press/reviews the Ecoboost Mustang received. Al is the chief engineer, not the Camaro program chief. In the end like others have said, he may not get a choice on the matter.
