I love everything from the A-pillar back and don't hate the front end. Wheels are great too.

In regards to pricing in general it seems that here lately GM has been overcharging for new technology, AKA 2014 Silverado, or just adding too much technology. We used to just worry about how much inflation would jack up the price. If it doesn't vastly improve performance or styling, leave it out. We just need a good looking, pure performing Camaro flavored American pony car, not a 4 seat Stingray. (Unless they can keep pricing at or less than a fifth gen. In which case, Ill take 2. )

You really have hit the nail on the head, with everybody yelling for more tech and every creature comfort they can find the price just keeps going north. I am completely ok with entry levels of the Camaro as long as the performance goods are there. I have an LS 6 speed and I love it. I added ZL1 wheels and tires and it totally transformed the handling, could it be better? Of course, with money everything can be better. What is funny is my 68 396 is pretty stock and the v6 is right there with it. Plus the 68 weighs less. V-8 options used to be a no brainer because the price really wasn't an issue. That is not the case any longer, with CAFE regs and gas pricing it will force v8s to the higher end of the buyer pools which is sad to me. But if they keep making strides with the V6 I am alright with it because you can have a nice daily driver that matches the performance of the v8s not that many years ago. And with the right tweeks It really is all the car you need. 2016-17 Camaro LS 1LE 350hp lighter weight - $28500!!! BRING IT ON! Last edited by ssrs396; 03-16-2014 at 02:42 PM. |

If you can get it on an Impala for crying out loud it should be in the Camaro. And what I don't want is a Camaro that is less than it could be because someone will be afraid that it will hurt Cadillac ATS Coupe sales. And where is everyone coming up with this magical 350 HP V6? We just go a new V6 in the Camaro. Not sure we should be hoping for that as well on top of a NG car.

Anyways this is not a V6 vs V8 thing...I just agree with that I think a performance V6 would be a fun car. Lets just imagine that the next gen V6, with a track pack/1LE, weighs around 3,400 - 3,450 lbs, has 340 - 350HP, great handling, and 3.31 - 3.55 gearing....now that would be a fantastic machine that could be had for under 30 grand. I'd have a VERY hard time resisting that. Hear me Chevrolet!!??? Quote:
But I keep hearing/reading about a new line of V6s that GM is working on, and I hear they are called "LGX". Supposed to make its way into the ATS in a year or two. Other than that I have no clue what kind of power and tech they could bring. But if I had my wish it would be a 3.6 - 3.8 litre with direct injection, cam phasing (which the LFX has) but also cylinder shutoff. I've read its very hard to do cylinder shutoff on a 60 degree engine as opposed to a 90 degree because of balance issues, but Honda is doing it successfully in the Accord. Don't see why GM couldn't. Hyundai is getting 345HP from their 3.8 V6 in the Genesis coupe, so that range of power seems completely feasible to me. With cylinder shutoff, I would think very good highway mileage could be achievable. I like this idea b/c it would be the best n/a V6 option available to go up against Ford's 2.3 turbo 4 if GM decides not to put a turbo 4 in the Camaro. It would easily eclipse the HP rating of the Ford turbo (great for advertising) and likely get close to the same highway MPG rating. Only thing it would not be able to match is the turbo 4's low to midrange torque advantage.

Agreed but I don't want it to copy the Cadillac also. Camaro should be different. And I haven't seen a Cadillac under 25k so there are always compromises. Supposedly the LGX will replace the LFX. I am not sure how much power it will have but if everbody has their list of what they want in the next Camaro why cant I? |

My wishes for the 6th Gen = Turbo 4cylinder @ 320hp/300tq 3,300lbs .... Base V-6 @ 340hp/290tq, "optional" Turbo V-6 375hp/400tq 3,400lbs ..... V-8 in the SS weighing in @ 3,475 -3,550 , we all know what will go in that one .... another thing that should be "optional" in the V-6s is better gearing(3.43/3.45/3.73,etc.) and a Posi traction for the Automatic V-6 cars ....
