That makes sense considering how well the v6 cars sold over the v8 cars before.
Out performing the Mustang has never really been a problem.Gonna be a 5th gen owner said:the camaro has to have a solid v-6 for them to sell in numbers let's say a v-6 with about 230 horse power because the 4th gen had the 3.8 that put out about 200 horse power and the camaro has to always to out perform the mustangfor about the same price
The Chevy & Pontiac Fbody did that combined with no problem, I think it would happen.Chuggernaut said:I'm still not sure about 100k in the first year, but judging by the latest releases from GM, they're taking the V6 challenge head on. Here are just 2 candidates:
3.6L VVT V6 w/ Direct Injection
3.9L V6 E85 and AFM variants
True, but you're relying on Pontiac diehards to convert over. With every indication being that the next GTO will share platforms 6 months or more later, I'm sure a good number of them will hold out until reviews of the Camaro are readily available. In the long run, GM will be right back into the bind they had with the F-Bodies fighting each other while Mustang sales continue to soar.OverAnxious said:The Chevy & Pontiac Fbody did that combined with no problem, I think it would happen.
