....seriously, what are you saying? Look, take a stand, be factual, hold an opinion, but please stop seemingly taking the position of an antagonist with the overt intent to elicit controversial responses for ones own enjoyment. Sorry, ....

Probably its gonna be the same format. The ss will be the same engine as the base stingray engine.

I know the LS3 is smaller in size, but Ford did pretty well because the 5.0 didnt gain any size over the 4.6, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe its even more compact than the 4.6l.

After thinking about it I take back what I said about the 5.3 not being cheaper to produce. Since it's used more across the GM line up it should cost less overall for GM to build it compared to the 6.2 since its a "premium" engine and they make less of them. Yes I know a lot of the parts are the same but there enough parts that aren't that would allow for cheaper build cost based on the volume of each engine size. Once again I doubt it would happen but I would like to see two different v8 options simply because I think its cool and it allows each buyer to have a choice which is something we haven't had since 92.

They are putting a 6.2 liter V8 in the New SS sedan, they put 6.2 liters in the Stingray, why would they put a smaller displacement engine in the best selling pony car in the land?
So the Camaro SS can get beat by the GT? Again? Put that DI 6.2 in that baby and there is your mpg savings AND your grunt. How do you even argue that the 5.3 liter is better than 6.2 if they are both DI with cylinder deactivation?

Although I must admit AFM seems like it sucks from all accounts on camaro5 and every other Camaro site I have seen...

The logic could work both ways. Any savings based on the volume of the 5.3L displacement could be offset by differences between the truck engines and car engines. The 5.3L is the volume truck engine, but the volume advantage of the 5.3L displacement may be offset by the volume disadvantage of having a unique version of the 5.3L just for the Camaro. It depends on exactly what is interchangeable. Ultimately, whatever cost differences there may be between the various displacements and applications of the small blocks is probably fairly small, certainly not anywhere near enough to affect price to the point that another trim can be separated out. So even if a 5.3L SS was offered (and it probably won't be), it will likely be priced where the current 1SS is, not below it. Sure, the 6.2L comes with a price premium in the trucks, but not because it costs GM that much more. It's mostly just marketing (attaching the larger engine to premium trims). The standard models pay for themselves and get people in the door, but the options are where the real money is made.

Its also the point that that the 5.3L DI will get better gas milieage than the 6.2L...if we all want to keep our V8's in the future, I am all about having an option for a smaller standard V8 to help the company with CAFE ratings, and yes as we say we will pay to play, if you want the bigger engine you will pay for it.
