Why would anyone want a 4 cylinder 2016 camaro
Why would anyone want a 4 cyl camaro?? Sounds a bit lame.
|
Why would anyone bawk at a 4cyl Camaro being added to the lineup if there's a demand? If it makes business sense and helps to keep the Camaro model in production, who cares? You can continue to buy your v8 and if someone wants to buy an entry level sporty Camaro at a cheaper price point, let 'em. Variation is the spice of life.

400 hp 4 CYL!!!!
Let's do it!!! |
Because a 2 cylinder Camaro would just be silly. :D
|
Because GM has one of the best turbo 4s in the industry.
|
Bring back the Quad4!!!!
|
Not for me, but it may not be a bad thing. As Fen said, GM has one of the best turbo 4's in the industry.
Didn't they use the 2.5 liter (iron duke) in the Berlenetta Camaros in the 80's? |
Look at that those turbo neons and calibers putting out over 300hp from the factory....give the V8 a run for it's money

I didn't even look at a .750 Camaro I sure don't see me looking at a .500 Camaro.

On a road course, the advantage of a high HP 4-cylinder compact engine with a shift of the center-of-gravity towards the center, in addition to low curb-weight and a worked over tuned suspension would be hard to beat as long as the power:weight ratio is at least 1 or as close to 1 as possible. |
I'm sure that GM wouldn't put a four cylinder engine into the Camaro if they felt it wouldn't sell...It sounds a little hokey right now, but we have yet to see what the car looks like...Probably will be a good fit...
I find a little comfort that the new four cylinder won't be associated with the 5th gen, but then on the other hand a 6th gen with a powerful v8, that's light enough to handle a four cylinder, just might end up being totally awesome... |

Furthermore, my 1994 Camaro was a v6 when I bought it. I'm now one of the most passionate Camaro enthusiasts you'll meet. I run a Michigan-based Camaro and Firebird website with over 2300 members, I host a 300+ Camaro and Firebird specific car show every year, go to a ton of shows through the "car show season" in Michigan, registered on basically every Camaro forum on the internet, etc. Because of my '94 Camaro v6, I am likewise passionate about General Motors in general which made me work extra hard to get a job at General Motors world headquarters in Detroit. I eat, breathe, sleep GM and Camaro. I cannot imagine NOT owning at least one Camaro now for the rest of my life... And all that because of a v6... So when I found out I could afford a 5th gen if I went with the base, 1LS model... Yeah, I didn't hesitate. :laugh: |
For me, I would love the idea of a different option in the motor arena...If done right a 2.0L turbo 4 would be great in a lighter more agile 6th Gen Camaro.... I said it in another post, I would love a 320-325HP 2.0L Turbo in a 6th Gen that would weigh in about 3200-3300lbs(max)...

Cause it would make for better threads "V8 vs V6 vs I4" :bellyroll:
Imagine the possibilities |
Boosted 4cyl Turbos make some good output when boost is increased and would be cool to hear a 2015 2.0T Camaro spool it's turbo making massive HP in the 7,000+ range !!!!!!!
|
why would anyone make another thread on this? :laugh:

What you are describing is basically what the BRZ turbo will be once it comes out, which would make the Camaro a similarly powered car, but with a lot more mass and without the driving dynamics of the BRZ. So for those among us whose reason for buying the Camaro would be something other than it is named "Camaro," what would be the selling point? |
I suppose it depends on what exactly the 6th gen looks like... I would consider the option... I test drove a 2011 Regal turbo, manual trans and loved it. Almost traded the Camaro in on it. Just turn up the boost! WOOOO!
|
First let me say that I really want another V6 in the 6th gen. I'd love to see a T4 with around 260HP and maybe 260 - 270 TQ and a V6 with 340HP and 290 - 300 TQ.
But have you guys seen what a tune does to the new 2.0 T4 in the buick and the ATS? Thats near L99 Territory torque at the wheels right there: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...09490545_n.jpg |

And keep in mind that the new naturally aspirated 2.5L 4 banger has a similar overall output to the 3.4L V6 used in Camaros 20 years ago, and a good deal more than the 2.8L V6 used 30 years ago. GM's turbo4 makes numbers that aren't too far from what the supercharged 3800s were making in the late 90's. |

I'm not saying I'd be perfectly comfortable pushing the stock internals to the limit either, but its worth letting people know what these things are capable of with just a tune right? Its interesting. Maybe it doesn't sound V8 like, but thinking these things are slow is just old thinking. |

Nobody's talking about putting a 4-cylinder in the SS. |

Yes. And the LT1 will go into the 6th gen. We're talking base engines here.
A smaller, lighter Camaro on Alpha will perform very well with the 2.0T LTG. Just look at ATS. |
