The Gen V engines should start showing up in 2-4 years depending on how much money GM is able to throw at R&D while staying afloat. I'm willing to bet that there won't be a new powerplant in the Camaro until the Gen Vs are here.

i don't think they will be adjusting ANYTHING to do with engines.
GM will respond in one of 3 ways.
A. They do nothing. They believe the SS will still outsell its competition and that it is still the best car out there.
B. They come out with a higher performance model that is capable of attracting a buyer who might have gone to an SRT or GT500.
C. They offer benefits that match the competition while delivering a superior product. (0% financing Etc.)

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
