I believe Alpha platform will be smaller and lighter than the Zeta platform??

I was wondering if a 'total average' would be the case. Thank you for pointing that out.

A 5.7 liter would be sick. And I have rode a 400 hp twin turbo 350z and it pulled crazy but the low end torque was no where near what my car has and that just made me a little sad. I hope that is not the case if gm goes to a V6

The next V8 will be direct inject with VVT. The Camaro will have a bad ass V8, it may also have a FI engine too. Who knows, we'll have to wait and see but having more than one option isn't a bad thing to me.

Did they resolve the weight problem with the Alpha platform?

That would be the worse thing that could happen IMO. Hopefully that isn't the case, still too earlier to know.

All the more reason for me to get a ZL1. If Corvette is going to a V6, I'm pretty sure the Camaro will get the same treatment.

Good guess. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...highlight=2015
And, I bet it comes out in early 2014. The mustang 50th is April 2014. The 2015 Camaro will be ready then as well. |

Offer me a turbocharged *anything* from corporate GM and I'm all over it.
But, Make it at least a six cylinder engine. Turbo Camaro, AKA "SSX", do I see another Buick GN car-like creature? Absolutely. Hint to Corvette: You're gonna need a turbo....and don't forget, the very first Corvette was in fact a six cylinder. The playing field was tilted when GM put the 3.8L turbocharged intercooled engine in the lineup...if you can remember, it was the fastest US production car in those years (86-87) and yep, even quicker than the treasured 'Vette. Do it again GM - c'mon, do it again.

Just like the 2009 Camaro that was supposed to arrive in 2008, add at least a year to this estimate. Looking foward to the next gen, but still working on getting my fifth gen. They would have to make it pretty awesome to out do what they've done with the fifth gen, and it will probably cost $40,000 or more for a v-8 by then.
