Maybe this is the "ahem" ploy afterall. Start with something amazing to us, the people, and improve on its fuel efficiency, weight, etc for 6th gen. |

By the way, the rumors have said that any DI V8 will be 5.5L.

I could not possibly agree more with your analysis. Any supercharged or turbocharged V6 will test with a marginal advantage over V8s with similar specs. They will peak at different times, have different redlines, and have other characteristics that make one superior to the other in different conditions. They can appeal to different markets, including different performance markets. Imagine a platform offering a drift-spec, a track-spec, and a quarter mile-spec vehicle, all with different suspension, tuning, and even engine options. The Camaro could be that car one day, especially if GM is working on different performance powerhouses and experimenting with how to make each best. I also agree with the possibility of failure with turbos. It's obviously far less common with cars built that way than vehicles that were originally naturally aspirated. That being said, parts fail much sooner when tuners and muscle car enthusiasts start taking things apart and putting them back together.

this thread is full of good and informative sounding stuff and all so I hate to dumb it down a bit but.. I'm not even worried about a 6th gen camaro. even number gens have historically been so so and the last one, 4th, nearly succeeded in killing off the model. 1,3 and 5 are the awesome gens. wake me up when 6 passes and 7th gen gets here. that is if 6 can't finish off what 4 nearly did...

It's fine for the 500 or so people who can afford a limited production model, but everyone else will just have to make due with what the masses are offered. |

If GM thought the market was really that small, they wouldn't even bother with the ZL1 Camaro.

I've had 2nd, 3rd, and currently own LS1 and LT1 cars. The older cars don't hold a candle to these. I love classic muscle as much as anyone else, but performance speaking, they're on different levels. Personaly I can't wait to drive an ATS based 6th gen. |

Oh shit if Buick makes a retro Grand National that will be sick. Why haven't they?

I think that if Buick were to have any sort of RWD aspirations, the best way for them to do it would be with something more like a Rivera than a Grand National. A comfortable cruiser, not a high-performance beast.
