Thats what i'm saying! I wonder how much difference there will be? I mean MPG and HP wise? That would be crazy to see a V8 with 30 MPG. But the horsepower alone is crazy. If you can get 300 out of the DI 3.6, i could see over 500 in a DI 6.2. Nuts.

If the federal government exerts its will on the automakers the 2.4L 4-cylinder will become the standard engine in the Camaro for 2011 and the 255hp V6 will be the top engine in the 2011 Camaro SS model. And we will in effect be back in the automotive dark days of the mid-seventies.
