Actually, the G8 GT uses a 6.0L L76 V8 with AFM...which is basically nothing more than the 6.0L Vortec 6000 V8 in the GMT-900 trucks.

There was a rumor a while back that there would be a manual GT though...

they were all just guesses on my part. Now that I re-read it, it seems like I was giving definitive answers. It could be more aerodynamic, but the Camaro is only a little worse than average. I also don't know for sure about the gearing.

btw, by 'bad luck' I mean being on the wrong side of rounding. If the Camaro V6 had 28.51 mpg, I would assume they round up. Likewise, if the G8 had 25.49, they'd round down.

This car looks sweet! Now if only GM decided to oficially sell Pontiacs in Europe...

Get used to seeing this engine passed around a lot.

i was not sure if it was 6.0 or 6.2 the main thing is that it has AFM and because of it, you cannot get it with a manual
