well im fine with a turbo v6 option but GM has to keep the v8 in the Camaro and the Corvette as the base engine. But if GM does make the ss or the z28 a turbo v6 then i will but one and then i will put in a 572 and make it faster then a funny car and it will get .01 MPG, e mail it to gm and tell tell them this is what happens when GM sells me a 6 cylinder camaro SS

srry but the Corvette Fanboys wont let them have anything less then a V8 granted a turbo v6 could be cool....I'm just one that think a V8 is best for the Corvette and of course our SS's

Smell the return of the blue flame bitches! (Yes, that's an old school 'vette 6). I thought the 5.5 litre was go, so I'm thinking it's bunk. --but: Everyone points out the HWY mpg for 'vettes, but their combined isn't so great. Electric turbos, variable vane turbos, etc- very possible and easier to achieve some sort of economy vs sport mode that is meaningful. A 2800 lb car that gets 25/35 in 250hp economy mode, then you flip the switch and have 600lbs of torque- that's appealing. No one really knows the weight of the supposed v6 and people have already declared it heavier. Who knows? The new EPA rules are based heavily on wheelbase and track size so maybe GM is trying really hard to figure out some packaging. That's pure speculation-but I wouldn't doubt it. If GM was coming out with a WOW engine that they want to showcase- what vehicle would be better to showcase it in? The 'vette has always been the place for GM's premiere engines, those have been 8s, but that doesn't mean their most highly developed engine will always be the 8. What if GM develops a monster TTV6 and they can't put it in the 'vette. People would be screaming if something other than the 'vette had a more powerful engine. It's a sports car not a muscle car, so performance is more mandatory than a v8.

With a purpose though. I thought it was funny to see how off base some people were. I think it's interesting that people saw a TTV6 and sure, it's something that Cadillac received, and gets called out for consistently when the new CT4-V blacking is reviewed. I figured it could be a reminder to all the other threads that speculate about the"doom and gloom" with GM's direction. |
