That sounds cool, but I’m afraid if that’s the ONLY V-8 engine, it’ll end up being a rich kid’s toy, just like the SSR did. I want a V-8 that I can buy for $26-$28K, not $40K.

they’ll probably come out with a 400hp engine and other engines to compete price-wise against the mustang

I’m sure the 5.3L will be available. It already receives 22mpg in a Tahoe. Trim at least a thousand pounds and plant it in a more aerodynamic body: 300hp + and 30mpg doesn’t seem so unrealistic. I think that that would make a good Z28 package.

I want a 454

I could picture some current Corvette owners pretty furious that their C6s are inferior to a Camaro. It’s a beautiful thing.

I just re-read the article. Is this purely speculation that the engine will be available in the Camaro? Seems to me (without reading the Wards report) that Cadillac is only experimenting with a more powerful Escalade.

Actaully I heard they were going to make the 427 out of the Z06 available in the Camaro, so thats 505 horse power. However this new motor sounds more interesting and high tech if its making that kind of power and improved gas milage as well… Hopefully they will test the hell out of it as it won’t be a feature if the motors need to be recalled after 6 months or something.. That direct port fuel injection makes a LOT of power in the 4 bangers so its about time they tried it in a big V 8…… I’d still like to see an all aluminum version of the 502 create motor injected as an option in the camaro like they did back in the 60’s with hte ZL-1 aluminum block option.. That would be SWEET…..

I love how GM is managing to make their engines more powerful and give them an increase in fuel economy at the same time.

GM has been very careful as of late to keep an eye on the CAFE standards. They may come out with a whopper of an engine for bragging rights, but most will likely be built to be more fuel efficient.

CAFE should be scrapped

3-6% increase because the engine is more efficient, or because the camaro weighs less than that rolling brick

Gentlemen, start your mullets.

Madcapp: Mullets are trans ams. camaros are cool without being garish.

being a gm fan i usually bash them as the devils advocate, but lately there is not much to say that is bad, i guess keep up the good work….forever not just for a couple years.

import humpers - i want you to name THREE sports car choices the imports offer that are as sweet as this car.

To be released the day after the last Shelby GT500 rolls off the line.

I want… it… now!

Great! All it’s missing is a solid rear axle, bias-ply tires and 4-wheel drum brakes. And a Dyna-Glide 2-speed tranny. 2009? try 1969!

Oh no JackJim…Camaros and Mullets go together like fat chicks and black dudes. Here’s my proof….

Commodore,

Are you serious, that’s not much of a challenge.

Aston Martin V8, Ferrari 430, Porsche Cayman - Three sports cars that considerably sweeter than this car.

Here’s one for you, name three other countries that have such an insular outlook that they feel the need to draw a line between cars made in their own countries and “imports”.

400horse, don’t hate the player, hate the game. Hahahahahahahaaaaaa.

@Got Handling?

None of those cars are in the Camaro’s price range… I think that was part of Commodore’s point.

A direct injection pushrod V8? That sounds a bit hard to believe.

How about the Camaro receive a release date already?

Daaamn…

/me loves GM!

Japan, where the law is so stringent, you can hardly get an import

Madcapp: my wife weigh 123 pounds — but there’s an episode of “The Shield” you need to check out

Commodore: “import humpers - i want you to name THREE sports car choices the imports offer that are as sweet as this car.” That’s like asking them to name three NBA players taller than Yao Ming

Got Handling: I might call then Porsce a sports care, but the others are exotics

Culley: Japanese kids like Suburbans and tahoes, and the last real Impala SS

brittain,germany and italy

CTS, Britain has no auto industry to speak off: former PAG from Ford (US) Mini/Morris - BMW, Ford - ford, Vauxhaul - GM, and bunch of Jap factories building Honda and Nissans for Europe.

Germany allows everyone to sell in its own market. Since they believe that they are CAR super race they can not discriminate and they don’t (I think everybody has a piece of their market).

Italy dropped it’s taxing of foreign cars in order to join EU (to pleasure of Germany and France) and as a result Japanese and Koreans are dominating sales (FIat sells less then 30%). In the past year FIAT started gaining ground with descent cars courtesy of GM’s 2 billion bailout tax.

In short: check your facts. GotHandling? has a point and a witty one.

I Dont see the camaro getting a 450+ direct injection V8 while the vette gets a 430 hp motor..

so there are no cars built in england? they still have pride in their cars no matter who the parent company is.

YEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! Cue the banjos, brokebackers!!!

Someone make Deanster squeel…

This ****’s between you, me and Mr. Soon-to-livin-the-rest-of-his-short-ass-life-in-agonizin’-pain Rapist here

HAHAHA, PULP FICTION^^^

Just remember, in GM, the Corvette is the limit. The Camaro cannot be competitive with the Corvette or their flagship will become very difficult to sell.

CTS: third greatest movie of all time
