I myself am not against a Turbo 4 in the camaro i just think that they wont cause it would mean certain death for a Frs/brz competitor I.E. the code 130R cause they both would be price similar and even though the 130 R would prolly have around 200 to 215 hp and weight around what the Brz/Frs performance would be around the same or better. I think a V6 and a V8 powertrain is what the camaro will have if they come out with the 130R

...did not read the thread...Turbo 4 DI clean diesels provide a ton of torque and great fuel lileage. I have a VW TDI. It's amazing. Less mileage when it's cold, but up to 45 MPG highway otherwise.

Well I'm convinced. I'll be looking for a scion cube or a VW TDI for a 4banger to swap out my LS3. I'm just worried if I'll be able to handle the neck breaking acceleration. I'm sure all you ZL1 owners and LSX owners are thinking the same thing.

....LOL, I guess,.... however the Corporate 4 turbo will get great fuel economy, and will be a nice base engine despite moronic commentary such as yours...., just sayin....

Anyways...the comment is laughable at best. The point is making the Camaro "as good as it can be"....and your right. So WTH does adding a T4 to the line-up do to threaten that? I see absolutely no reason whatsoever why the next gen Camaro on Alpha with the LT1 V8 won't easily surpass the current car in performance...straight line and in the twisties. You seem to think that adding a 4-cylinder is somehow going to affect the performance of the V8 version....like GM is just going to somehow "water down" the name altogether. "Well, they are adding a 4 cylinder. Guess Chevy just doesn't care about real enthusiasts anymore." Thats what you seem to be saying. Quote:
Again, yes the warranty will be toast. Well big surprise there. How many of us here don't mod at all? If you are moding, you are risking your warranty. Nuff said. Holy cow...I can't wait to see how mad some of you go when this car with the T4 is actually released.

I'm sure it gets great fuel economy, who is questioning that? Oh yea, that's right you didn't read the thread. Well as one of the resident V8 loving morons on this thread I have decided there is no percentage in arguing with people who want green Camaros, turbo 4 Camaros, Diesel Camaros, it's all superior to V8s. I'm not fighting the future anymore. Just waiting for the Kia hamsters to be in a Camaro ad!

....wake up and smell the GOV. The shit is gettin' real as in a not to distant past phrase suggests..., look I want 8's forever, truth is it ain't happen', the modern DI motors... 4 or 6's, with forced induction will take over, not my decision. There will be the next Gen 5 8 cyl family, but at a premium,... sorry, but even though the climate is beyond turning around, the GOV will do it's best to further complicate our issues and pass the price down to the consumer. Welcome to the 21st century.

Seriously though, is it the number of cylinders or the performance?
Balanced handling, outstanding braking, torque? I have them all in a 3.0 Supercharged car that will run with an SS. My 2.0T Sky Redline? With the GMPP calibration it would also run with an SS (Woodward Dream Cruise, don't ask). Muscle doesn't mean cylinders in the new world.

If 4 cylinders are what we have to do, what about 4 cylinder Vettes? Is it impossible to make a Turbo V8? Everyone lauds the power of turbo 4 and turbo 6--do they not have Turbo V8's? Do the mighty turbo 4s outperform turbo V8s?!
Will we see a 4 banger Vette? People say it won't effect Camaro negatively, will it affect Corvette?

...almost every time somebody makes some bizzare argument or contary comment about Z/28, ZL1, Vette's, turbo 4 or 6's, next generation whatever, its usually an insecure owner of a LS3, for whatever reason...it's gettin old.....

Is it possible for you to have a discussion with someone who disagrees with you without being insulting pal, now THAT is what is old. I'm on a Camaro enthusiast site last I checked. So me liking an LS3 engine shouldn't get me called names. I didn't call you one so have some common courtesy.

...Ok, Pal is a reach for first introductions on your part don't you think? I'm guessing but, 4 cylinder turbo performance engines have been around probably longer that you have been alive and have made impressive numbers. What's the issue?
