Only place I ever heard that 6.6L rumor was from Camaro forums. Similar to the 7.3L rumors from the Mustang forums.

As usual, your reasoning seems to lack some pertinent details.

Yes, no, maybe so. Lots of stuff that was officially done, got there due to the people unofficially working on it. I'm not jumping up and down, but I won't ever say never.

When Cadillac was developing the Blackwing engine (and before it was axed), were they planning to use it in the CT5? Or was it developed only for CT6? If it fit in the CT5, it would probably fit in the 6th gen.

Not sure about that LT5 not fitting under the Camaro hood. One of the complaints I heard from some on the Camaro team was that ZL1 was limited in blower size by what would fit under C7 Z06 hood. I implied from that that the Camaro was an easier packaging environment for LT4/LT5 that’s C7. ZR1 is able to package the larger blower of the LT5 because of the larger hood bulge.

My understanding was that CT5 next gen was to migrate to the Omega platform that CT6 was on. There would be a CT3 and CT4 on Alpha2 and CT5, CT6, and CT7 on Omega. The Omega platform vehicles would use Blackwing V8. Now there is no Omega platform, no CT6, and no next gen CT5, thusly no Blackwing V8.

My idea of a modern day Z28 would be a twin turbo V6 with a passive track suspension package, Recaro front seats and no rear seats.

I suppose we are past the age of leaving out A/C...

Muscle Cars & Trucks. Okay, ya got me. But that’s not much different than a Camaro forum.

Maybe mild hybrid?

Maybe not?

Definitely not. I was pushing 48V mild hybrids HARD when I was at GM. Never had so many doors slammed in my face (figuratively speaking of course)

A version of the 6th gen V8 possibly being tested under our noses, I believe we'll see something in the trucks first.

Why? A TTV6 will be heavier, more expensive and more complicated than the 6.2 and won’t make anymore power.

I hadn’t thought of that. Could very well be the case.

Its just the old test mule that been around for a few years now, nothing new.

Ok. What were they testing? Why are they testing it again now?

Why was a 2019 SS testing on the Nürburgring with the C8 two weeks ago?

I'm holding back any optimism that GM is spending any of Number 3's pension money potential on our beloved Camaro. It does however make me wonder if they realize that Camaro is bleeding out faster than they planned and are resurrecting projects that were underway but cancelled when they dropped everything to chasing BEV.
