As I posted way back i this thread, this is fun. Watching everyone get all wound up becaues a
NON GM source made some comments he believes is the future of one of GMs products.
You will have to shift your thinking some day. V8 can be pretty meaningless, but I know most of you are looking at it as the only way to make real HP. The 2.0L DI Turbo in my Sky would wake some of you up. With the GMPP upgrade, it's a sub 5 second car.
But what if you had a V6 in a Lighter car that made LS3 power? Would you care then? Would you turn your collective noses up at a car that could put todays SS in the weeds so to speak?
Just curious, because for me it's about performance, not the number of cylinders.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your love of the V8, I share it. And you are right, there will be a place for a V8 for a lonnggggggg time simply for trucks and vehicles that customers demand.
But as this guy is guessing, and this thread is conjecturing on his guess, then no one should get too worked up about what may or may not be even remotely close to accurate statements by an industry prognosticator.
Enjoy the 5th gen. It's here, you can drive it and you can get a V8.
