Careful. Don't say that too loud. The feds are working on that too.

I can't afford the V8 now but if the alpha Platform will probably take some weigh off the vehicle, it gets light enough and it maintaines the current power of the V6 I will not worry about getting a V8 unless I win the lottery then all bets are off....LOL

I just got a horrible image of the day we're all silently driving around in silver electric cars and guns are all outlawed.

Due to the upcoming federal emission and fuel mileage requirements, I would not be surprised if there is no V8 in a 6th gen. Yes, there is a new V8 coming from GM but I think it will only go in the Corvette and trucks. The most powerful Camaro engine will probably be a twin turbo V6.....with equal or more power compared to the LS3.

It's not the number of cylinders that gives it that V8 sound. It's cylinder displacement (size of the cylinder). That is why a two cylinder Harley sounds mean as hell. That's also why a V10 may not sound as aggressive as a V8 due to trying to save space.
So if the V8 were to ever die, all engineers have to do is make those cylinders bigger! And there you have it...your V8 sound coming out of a V6 or maybe even a 4 cylinder |

I doubt the reason for having only a V6 engine on the 6th Gen. due to government restrictions on emissions control. If thats the case, all vehicle will reduce to a v6 and law will state no automotive industry to manufacture and produce above 6-cylinder engines!
Its not held on the CAMARO to reduce emission!! LOL thats B.S! |

If it were the size of the cylinders that caused the sound, the Viper V10 would sound exactly like the 360 V8 (it doesn't), and the 4.3L Vortec V6 would sound exactly like the 350 (it doesn't).
