2023 last year rumors
Lethal Garage posted a video on youtube yesterday discussing a rumor about 2023 being the last year of the Camaro, with some 2023's being held over for a 2024 commemorative edition. Is there anything to this rumor? I normally don't like discussing rumors... but for me and others that are trying to time buying the last year of the Camaro, this rumor, if true, would make a 2023 a better buy, assuming held over 2024's would be in a short supply.

GM is going to bring back the original Panther code name for the next gen. It will be derived from the C8 hybrid, and a special first edition will be a collaboration with Disney and the yet to be announced Black Panther 3 movie.
and I'm not even making this up for Youtube clicks. |

Wasn't it Lethal Garage who said that starting in the 23 model year SS's were going to get the LT2 from the C8? Obviously that didn't happen.

I should also point out a point of weirdness. Before I left GM I sat in on a very detailed presentation that Small Block Chief Engineer Jordan Lee did for the LT6. He detailed displacement, FPC, design target range for output, and other details. When I started doing the forecasting job at IHS the previous forecaster had forecast the LT6 displacement at 6.2L. Even though I knew it was 5.5L from the Jordan Lee meeting, I didn’t change it in the forecast because I got that info in a classified meeting. Eventually other information became available calling it a 5.5L so that was when I changed my forecast.

Thanks a lot for the clarification, James. Speculation is just that, speculation, and it's very easy to jump on Lethal and accuse him of making stuff up just to get views when it may not be the case.
The guy was very helpful with many, many of his 6th gen videos, so it's hard for me to picture him as a complete out-of-ass clickbaiter.

Yeah, i feel the same way. A few of his videos were very helpful for wrapping my car. He's obviously a big Camaro fan. He was perhaps over confident in the LT2 speculation... but it was clearly speculation (one person with one inside source). He's labeled the 2023 last year speculation a rumor. And because GM says so little about the Camaro it seems speculation is all we have. If there's a very limited 2024 year, and i can't get a 2023.... i guess it will be a Mustang Dark Horse. |
