You've been close to where I live a couple times. Imagine that whole area as farmland and that's how it was when I was growing up. So yeah, it kinda was.

Nobody. Whats your point? You ever modded a car before? If so, then you also willing to throw away your warranty.
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.

Of course not. It's just simply any other color Camaro that got old and needs AARP

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

Good. It makes me ill. As for how great they perform when FI, can't you FI a V8? The new DI V8 on the 2014 Stingray seems to get good gas milage. (Not that I truly cared about that when I bought my SS or that it will be my first consideration if they make an LS7 Z28!

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.

I would buy 4cyl. in other cars, but never in a camaro. That would be too much of a compromise.

That's a ridiculous statement. Here's a no cylinder car that blows the doors off your Camaro:

Because for lots of folks, hardcore performance and even the characteristic V8 rumble does not mean much. "Peppy" performance, sure, and 260-ish HP and torque is entirely sufficient to give you that in a 3400-ish lb car and satisfy the vast majority of car buyers. Trust me on this point.
It's just that it's hard to see how people can think that way when you're a member of a forum with countless threads devoted to tunes, supercharging, and "which exhaust should I get". It really is hard to see the "non-enthusiast" mindset. And like was said at least once already, all those people who would support the Camaro platform by buying it in 4-cylinder trim would be making it possible for you to have it in any trim at all. I wouldn't diss their choice so lightly. Norm |
