Is he talking about Camaro or something else? This is a disscussion about other Zeta vehicles(el camino???)

Any discussions on whether one may be a V6 only and one may be a V6/V8?
Not at this time. I think the general discussion going forward...as we look at these products will be challenging ourselves whether we need an eight in these products going forward. Hey, when you develop products...we've got to hold ourselves to a higher standard on these. I saw some early data...not sure if it was just a region of the country...but it definitely skewed towards the four's. That's a big change from the old generation.

That's not to say the Camaro...for younger buyers maybe a six or a turbo-charged six may hold a higher cache...

 

[$¢'s 5th Gen]

Even if...I would still get the V8 (LS3 or better)

 

[Luwinkle]

A 300HP V6..as much HP as a LS1(not as much torque, but then again, this is on regular octane ).

Man I love that engine. D:

 

[Marvelous]

At this point, if there is a V6 turbo offered, reasonably priced with decent HP#'s and stuff, I'd consider it.

 

[ManofSteel]

y not a turbo V8


i kinda like the STS systems


*edit*
i hate to bring up Ford in this, but back in the day (80s i believe) the Mustang came with a Turbo 4 option and at the time it was considered the engine of the future and that a turbo 4 would eventually replace the v8.

true if ur an import tuner, but not true for those that live by the good ol adage: there is no replacement for displacement.

While I wouldn't mind if a turbo V6 showed up in the Camaro, it would not be my preference.
Me likey V8s.

Though that DI 3.6L V6 with a snail on it could be pretty stout...
Already over 300hp as-is, with forged internals, bigger camshafts, about 8-10psi, and a racier tune, it could get to 400hp pretty quick!

 

[Austria]

I prefer the V8.
But today it is necessary to show new ideas!

 

[brandonppr]

its V8 all the way for me too.

 

[slims00ls1z28]

Gotta have 8.

 

[CUONCRS]

Yeah, 8 for me. But a Turbo 6 would at least make me look at the numbers, and if it sounded [email protected]$$, and the numbers were right, I might consider it.

 

[OctaneZ28]

I am actually pleasantly surprised at the exhaust note from the DI 3.6 V6.
It really sounds good.

Here's a video of the 304hp 2008 CTS making laps at Laguna Seca...

And a couple short videos of parts of the 2008 CTS at Nurburgring...

The exhaust note is really very nice.

 

[CUONCRS]

And that car is "supposed" to be quiet. The Camaro isn't.

 

[Haggis2525]

Add some turbo whine to that and I could be convinced. But what would cost more on insurance, a turbo'd 6 or an 8?

 

[Jinx]

V8, L76 or LS3. No 6. The turbo six is cool, but not for a car that not in that niche.

But if the Turbo V6 was in the G6 or Soltice (or its replacement), then I would say go head.

 

[Big Phil]

i'd rather have a supercharged 8!

 

[arober68]

At this point, if there is a V6 turbo offered, reasonably priced with decent HP#'s and stuff, I'd consider it.

I feel the same way brother.

atriot:

 

[USA1Camaro]

I'll take a V8 and if it's supercharged or turbocharged that's even better.

 

[Luwinkle]

A turbo'd V6 Camaro from the factory would just be wrong..but a G6 replacement with a turbo'd V6? If it's still set up for regular octane fuel..then I'm game.

 

[Terrell]

I'd be okay with it, especially if a turbo V6 gets more people to take a look at and buy the Camaro. Would be an interesting option for the "performance" V6. I wonder what the final engine choices will be though, I can't say for sure which one I would buy until I know for sure what my choices are.

 

[slims00ls1z28]

I wouldn't mind a turbo 6 in something like a Colorado, Trailblazer, or mid size sedan (Syclone/Typhoon/GNX anyone?) but for a Camaro I'm with lu that's just wrong.
