Just because there is a4 cylinder doesn't mean you have to buy one and it sure doesn't impact the V8 if you get one.

No different than the Camaro having a V6 brother a 4 cylinder is just another variant.

Obviously, look at the new corvette engine, more power, more fuel economy and still a V8.
No need to freak out everyone.

Corvette is light, that has more to do with than the motor.

Camaro production is moving to the plant where they build the ATS and CTS. Why would they move it there if it won't be Alpha based?

c7 is heavier than c6, makes more power, but still gets much better gas mileage. The v8 is not going away any time soon.

How does a 6 second video prove there's a 4 banger in there. It could be a six.

Huh? The curb weight for the base 370z is 3232 lbs which is just under 70 lbs lighter than the 2014 corvette.

With the One Ford concept, the Mustang is rumored to be sold in Europe, so the 4cyl variant could be for export.

no shit. the 2014 5.3 sierra is rated basically the same fuel mileage as a 2014 Subaru STI.

the new Camaro has to be lighter before Ill consider buying one. it has to out perform my old 2002 ls1 car.
