Cheer up though. The news is that next year we will see a different list of engines and options, including likely that 5.0 and the TT V6.

As to the Camaro. GM has to be in business before all their 300 hp V6's and 400 hp V8's are going to mean much. But it still stings.
Don't worry, with the torque and weight advantage, the GT will smoke the Camaro V6. There's a lot of talk of the opposite, and you're kinda goofy if you buy into it.

That being said, the Camaro is pretty much speculation... Still.

GM has been threatening a new Camaro for a long time now, and I still haven't seen one. If they are on the dealer's lots by January, then fine, but otherwise we have almost no shot of ever seeing it given the current GM crisis.


That will be the last time I bash GM for awhile. I'm pullin' for 'em, and won't contribute to any more badmouthing.

Go domestic!!
