Why do you guys think GM is developing their 5.5L Direct Injected V8. They know it wont be long before the MPG standards get cinched down VERY tight. And then all car manufacturers will be tied to making ALL cars within a certain range of MPG.

Where as currently the CAFE standards are set to make the average national fuel economy 35MPG by 2020... Obama has announced new plans to set up a new government entity to ensure a new timeline of reaching national fuel economy of 39 MPG for cars and 30 MPG for trucks by 2016. That's not set in stone yet, but imagine... 7 years from now, our beloved Camaro's will most likely be powered be something alot less powerful...

Why do you guys think that old Fritz at GM keeps making mention of the DI turbo V6... that's probably how GM is gonna get within the new standards for fuel economy and still get some decent HP numbers in their performance cars.

For those of us that dont particularly care for AFM, hydraulically actuated cam lobes, and power killing electronics... say hello to the future! People will be more concerned with the acronym MPG rather than RWHP.

Sooooo... with all that being said, go buy you a 2010 Camaro with an LS3, grin your 426HP all the way home and laugh when the government forces all car manufacturers to the 2016 standards as 7 years from now, you know you've got one of the fastest AND best looking cars on the road!
