Also a weight reduction of I would guess 200-400 LBs.
Maybe more!
My car weighs 2800 with the Ecotec 2.4 and I have trimmed about another 150 off it... and here is to hoping trimming off 50 off me! but over-all I want my car to be with driver around 2900-2950...That is scary light!

My car with driver is less than 2350.

P.S. - And to think I've been trying to come up with ways to drop that!

Gotta love the 80's, where full sized RWD cars could still weigh little more than 3000 lbs.

If only the engines had some power ...

In all fairness, I believed you..Or at least entertained the possibility for a little while.. Especially since it isn't April.. I would believe it more if you had said it would be only for the V6's and that they would be built in another location. I think what you had said it would be started with the convertible..lol.. The platform is so new, it just didn't make sense to get rid of it soo soon..

If we had kept this up for long enough though, I wonder how long it would have taken to get on the front page of Jalopnik..lol..

In a month or so you can start the rumor of the next Firebird coming back as a 2011 model. I'd fall for that one for sure

310 tq

that's awesome

is the sidi 2.0 a 4 cyl or a v6?

. a lot of people here wouldn't justify buying a v6 let alone a 4 cyl

,

id buy a camaro with the sidi 2.0 ecotec if it was in the camaro,(IF it has better performance numbers/mpg then the current v6
