V6 Camaro - 11/23/2006 12:43:01 AM    Redneck97   Posts: 494 Joined: 11/9/2006 Status: offline I was thinking what size engine will be in the new Camaro? (Since GM did say there would be a V6 Camaro.) I was thinking it will be the V6 Vortec... Or maybe a turbocharged 3.8. What do you guys think? _____________________________ 1997 Camaro T-Tops 5-speed 3.8 V6. Dual Flowmaster exhaust K&N Intake Cooper Cobra tires. More Mods soon! Post #: 1

Even though I perfer the V-8 SBC, it would bring the Camaro V-6er's back in the comp with the ricers. And you wouldn't be hearing all these guys crying about how do you increase your hp to compete with the faster ricers. I could never understand why GM gave the front wheel drive cars the supercharger and not the camaro.

I think the V6 should be supercharged. It always bugged me that they put a supercharger on a bonneville but not on a sports car. I think it should go like this base model 3.9 Direct Injected V6, RS Appearance Package And Supercharged 3.9 Direct Injected, then Z28 with a 6.0 450 hp V8 from the LS family, Then an SS with appearance package and either a bigger v8 or a supercharged v8. i could careless about a convertible but I'd definately want T-tops _____________________________ 94 Camaro 3.4L Manual Transmission, CAI, Magnaflow Exhaust 91 3.1L RS manual, CAI, 3.42 Rear end gears, Catback (in reply to Redneck97) Post #: 3

The mustang has a 210 horsepower 4.0L and it weighs in at 3300 Lbs for the V6 w/ a manual transmission. I still say it will be a 3.9, It's doesn't have to be bigger than the mustang's v6 in Liters it just has to perform better. The 3.9 is putting out 242 horsepower compared to the mustang's 210. It's the successor of the 60 degree v6's that camaros had in 93-02, so it just makes sense. I've heard rumors about a new 3.9 with direct injection.. Seems like a likely canidate. Read more about direct injection here and it's benefits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_Direct_Injection it also features varible valve timing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT _____________________________ 94 Camaro 3.4L Manual Transmission, CAI, Magnaflow Exhaust 91 3.1L RS manual, CAI, 3.42 Rear end gears, Catback (in reply to Redneck97) Post #: 6

It is a truly amazing engine for a v6....  The 4.3 is dead for sports cars. It has a home in the heart of Blazers. _____________________________ 94 Camaro 3.4L Manual Transmission, CAI, Magnaflow Exhaust 91 3.1L RS manual, CAI, 3.42 Rear end gears, Catback (in reply to Redneck97) Post #: 8
