I think the engine changes (if any) are unfortunately due to the new 35.5mpg for 2016
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/regu.../420f10014.htm I also read that in 2025 that its changing to 45mpg or 54mpg. This is to avoid the gas guzzler tax I think. Get your V8's now.... |

I remember that initially GM was going to offer a turbo 4cyl on the current 5th gen but it never was produced. Either way I am safe because I already have one with the V8 and don't have this as my gas saver.

I think all of that info is what was expected, EPA restrictions get worse every year, good to hear about the Z28. And I would assume the next generation V8 to have hp gains in that area that the article stated

If I had a nickel for every rumor of future cars which turned out to be true, I'd be broke.
I seriously LOL'd at the 47 MPG claim of a turbo 4 that pumps out 300 hp. Seriously LOL'd |

Here's a relevant comment. When's GM true insiders going to give us any clue to facelift changes to the Gen5 or next Z/28?

When it's unveiled at NAIAS (assumption being made that it's unveiled at NAIAS and not at another auto show)

I don't see it ether, our 300hp Sky Redline just barely breaks the 20mpg city and maybe 27mpg on the highway.
