BruHop, good to read that GM/Chevy are taking care of your wife's malibu.
Here is hoping that the piston problem in the Camaro 2.0T is sorted BEFORE production Camaros are unleashed to the public.
I'm undecided at this point between the I4 turbo and the V-6.
Don't plan on placing an order until the end of the 2016 model year.

Nothing wrong with paying a few extra cents per gallon/liter to keep the engine happy.

Totally agree. Don't understand why some people would fill their gas tank with something that is not recommended by the manufacturer, just to save a few pennies. I know a couple of people who do this. Try to tell them otherwise... it seems to fall on deaf ears.

engine, I can guarantee that the Camaro variant of the LTG is different. How different? I can't go into details for obvious reasons.

So how is it different? The car is out so I'm assuming you can tell us some details?

Where are the published specs? Rule of thumb on asking a GM employee for company info, if it's not published then assume it's confidential. I'm not a GM Spokesperson.

You guys are gonna love the 2.0 turbo just a tune will net massive gains from my experience with one. Add some bolt ons and you will have a quick car no doubt about it.

The aftermarket targets these motors cause of there quick cheap and easy gains.

I went V8 this time but I respect these engines. Should have no problem going close to 350-400 horsepower reliably 450-500 will be pushing failure.
