It's an open spaced area the shape of the bowtie. Would be cool to be the designer who came up with that. Not a big deal, but way cool!!!
The thread of the spy shot on the proving grounds of the ZL1 front end pretty well shows the look.But the mesh blended slightly into the top grill, and it had the flowtie. The new hood looks like the ZL1 without the "dive " part at the front.
Not a big change, but a baby step forward.

I agree, ever since 2016 I always said if I got a new one it would have to be Hyper Blue....It is their best blue since the IROC days.

I hope they decide to show everyone the '19 soon, I believe the cut off date for ordering a '18 is May 24th.

Guys...

Chevy is not going to be putting a V6 turbo to rival the 6.2 in this generation. Not gonna happen.

IF some sort of new turbo is coming during this refresh it would be:

1) A turbo 1LE. I think this is most likely.
2)A slightly hotter version of the current 2.0. But this gets into V6 territory.
3) A larger turbo 4, but then there is no reason for a V6.
4) As said above, a small turbo V6 making around 330/330. I think this would be sweet, but very doubtful.

Neither of the last two engines currently exist.

Why would they and why would they put that in a Camaro?

Uh, ZL1? 650 hp supercharged 6.2?

Again, there's no need for a twin turbo V6.

Again, the ZL1 LT4 has 650 hp 650 tq. They ARE with the times

The ZL1 1LE destroys the GT-R in every way. Why are we having this conversation?

cooper1965 · 04-08-2018, 06:08 PM

New turbo is probably the long awaited auto-x concept.

Sorry that was a brain fart my bad

But even that engine blows away the GTR.

The piece price of a TT V6 would be SOOOOOO MUCH HIGHER than the LT1 with no more performance. And for those imagining the a GTR besting HP need to remember GM already has a superior LT4 that still costs significantly less.

Sorry but it makes no sense.......unless you are willing to pay $2,500 more for a TT V6 over an LT1. Then GM might think there was a business case. But who of you lusting for a TT V6 would pay a huge premium with no HP advantage?

50% chance that GM is going to drop the "V6" like Ford.

Big possibility.

The reason Ford dropped the 3.7 is because Ford had wierdly positioned the Mustang trim and equipment for the V6 lower than the Ecoboost and relegated it to rentals. GM did the right thing with the 6th gen Camaro, and sales of the V6 remain strong.

There are a lot of V6 owners on this forum, I am pretty sure more than turbo 4.

Mustang's V6 was lame. GM's is a 335hp state of the art screamer.
