Sorry, I'm about to spit out my random thoughts: I'm very excited to see what the C6 holds in store for us. I was suprised to see they called it as being MY 2016 before we see the C6 Camaro. Yeah, its only 5 or 6 years after the current gen which is the way product cycles seemed to go before, but I could have sworm I read that now they were going to speed up product cycles by a year or two if they could. If the car ends up being at least a couple hundred lbs lighter I'd be satisfied. If it was 300+ lbs lighter I'd be really delighted and surprised! If the car ends up being light enough, that a beefy N/A 4 cylinder car can get it around decently, then I'd see a real possibility for the V6 and V8 offerings. But if the base 4 is turbo charged then I highly doubt we see a V6 UNLESS they do a turbo V6 as the SS and a V8 for the ultra-premium models...but I'm not sure I see a turbo V6 as being in an SS just yet. 7th gen...I can see it since more us "youngins" will be more accepting of a non-V8 engine in an SS camaro. I know most don't care, but I'd LOVE to see what a slightly more powerful, fuel efficent V6 like the LLT could do in a 3,400 lb Camaro. With some gearing, it would be awsome. Just search youtube for the 2011 mustang V6 with only a tune and gears (stock tires) doing a 13.1 quarter miles. Awsomeness. Car should be smaller, but don't be scared when that word "smaller" is thrown around. Its not going to be the size of a dang Aveo people....I'd bet closer to 4th gen size, but maybe roomier than that. Anyways, enough from me....

Don't Like it? Suggit.

Weird. 4cyl-V8? Kinda odd to skip the 6cyl altogether
![]() ![]() I'd also like to point out the colossal failure of 4-cyl Camaros in the past. They're really gonna have to change up the tune of that song if they want it to get rotation...

One of the reasons I haven't bought a 5th gen was the mass/weight. A smaller/lighter Camaro has a lot of appeal to me.

All i know im keeping this one forever also and will get a 6th gen if it a V8. Just wondering how it would look. Dont think it will be that much of a difference of the 5th gen. Might be more rounder or triangular....idk. |

These guys know as much about the Camaro as a retarded monkey does. I forgot to mention, I was talking about the 5th gen. Who knows how much less they know about the 6th gen.

This was posted elsewhere, but thought it fit nicely here:

ATS is one of those cars that GM is being super tight-lipped about...which is a good thing.

For those seriously concerned about 8-speed automatics and smaller V8s, I suggest you trip on down to the Lexus Store and have at an IS-F...5.0 L with 416 hp + under 3800 lbs (the Camaro will be even less...) + 8-speed paddleshift slushbox = easy 12s off the showroom floor...and laptimes @ VIR roughly = to the CTS-V and '11 Shelby GT500 in Car and Driver's recent 20-car shootout...
Benchmark that for Gen-6...with even more from the next-Gen Z/28... |
