[QUOTE=Gen6_1Le;10087039 you can pick one up now in the mid 30s .[/QUOTE]
Do you have a link? I'm looking at buying another and have only seen a couple with high mileage in the high 30's, rest are low mid 40's. Are you looking at auction prices? |

Are those engines putting the Camaro back in the mud somehow? I don't think so. A V-8 could be added to the LS trim quite economically, and it would be a far cry from a car that can't stop or turn. The V-6s have more power and torque now than most "good ol days" V-8s, and even with a LT1 would handle way better than the mullet cars of yesteryear... But they won't do it because they can bleed an extra 10K out of customers just to get a V-8. A non-SS, non 1LE, non Z/28 Camaro with a V-8....OMG, the Horror!...I don't understand the desire to unnecessarily pay a ton more money for way more than a simple engine up-grade that could be had for a lot less than a 1SS.

What do you consider high mileage ? I just pulled a few up on cars.com with under 30,000 at $39k ,i am sure they will bite if you throw the right money at them . The prices will only keep coming down till the market dries up , which may this year . I think the sweet spot will be between 36k to 39k and these car are going to disappear . The z28s with above 50,000 miles are seeing the auctions because they just don't make for good used cars at a lot of dealerships. I think that goes for any cars with carbon ceramic brakes from chevy to mercedes .

also when designing these they spend millions on developing and producing each different part. for the 6 gen they spent over 13 MILLION on developing the exhausts & producing them. not trying to be rude, legit question, do you think they would spend those kind of figures to produce a watered down version of a 1ss? most of the time people that cant afford a zl1 wont get one. same with an ss (I have a 2ss as my daily) same with the v6 to I4. just to produce a cheaper, affordable v8 (that they already have the 1ss, 2ss, 1ssLE, 2ssLE, zl1, zl1LE) for an extremely small market, GM will have to spend millions to design develop and produce.

Adding a V-8 option in the progression of engine options with low end trim, is not a watered down version of anything...It's simply another option that Camaro does not offer in the line up without a major leap in cost, that could be avoided with an LS trim Camaro with a V-8....Like you say, not to be rude but multiple versions, power trains and trim levels are available that weren't prohibited by saying it's too much to cost to develop. Might it need a few tweeks different from the V-6?....Sure, it will. But it's not undoable or a threat to the current 1SS or 2SS models. To say an "economical" V-8 is impossible or too much development required is to overlook what has been done already to see that it is doable. Keeping the V-8 priced out of reach for some is a huge market that Camaro is missing out on....And they won't just buy a V-6 or I-4 only because that is more affordable. |
