I don't know if this makes much sense to me, lol...
And - I get it's probably just me:
https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...2#post11172542 That thing can manage a 2650 at 680-HP, and they can't figure out how to stuff one into Camaro?... All the engineering it probably took for frame and chassis stiffening to make that thing put up with that power, and we can't get a damn 2650 to compete with RE and '500s?... I get Camaro has been dying, but perhaps because GM started pulling out of it so early and doesn't put something together that more of what MOPAR and FURD does. But LOOK... They've hardly done anything exciting after late '17 with announcing ZLE. It's no wonder. Even MOPARs have been outselling Camaros for months. It kinda :mad2::mad2::mad2: that they'd do something like this, and leave Camaro out to dry. I'm glad I never held my breath on the hopes they would, and just made the car I wanted. I am grateful for that. Rant over... |
Yeah, hopefully this means there will be OEM blowers we will be able to toss on our car, but this doesn't make much sense aside from the fact that it shows the bean counters are in control.

Well, Chrysler will finance anyone LOL, one of the reasons there is more of them on the road.

My guess is it's because the Escalade sells well so they felt it was worth the R&D.
The Camaro flat out sells like poop. |
I’m surprised they did all of that and only 30 more HP is the gain. They are holding that thing way back I assume.

Lol, if more people were willing to pay over $100k for a Camaro then I'm sure they would be perfectly ok with making these things possible. GM is all about the status quo. They need to justify charging what they charge for these things. I considered a CT5-V BW, but I didn't see the value in paying an extra $50k for 2 extra seats and 20HP. I'm perfectly ok with being within striking distance of the CT5-V BW and all the other heavy hitters with the extra $20k-$50k in my pocket.

But I agree it seems like lot of engineering for only a 32 hp gain. You know every celebrity will pull up to the red carpet in one of these. Mark my word. |
No doubt, $100k Escalades sell like hot cakes in so cal. Can't keep them in stock. My father-in-law works at a Caddy dealership here and tells me they don't last long

Disagree on the celebrity thing. They’ll have them in private but show up in public via a Tesla. :D |
