The new 2011 V6 Camaro

[BigRalph]

I'm doing a little research about the new 2011 v6 Camaro. A lot of magazine are saying that "the 3.9-liter V6 to be the base engine in both the 2010 v6 Camaro and Impala, as well as proposed rear-drive sedans for Buick and Pontiac that are tentatively slated for model-year 2011. I don't know Chevrolet is going to make a new engine, but If you see the new 2006 Impala LTZ 3.9-liter engine come with an 242 hp engine. So I'm thinking the new V6 Camaro going to have a 242 power pant under the hood instead of stock 200 hp engine. That is a sweet deal.

Re: The new 2011 V6 Camaro

I've read #'s could be anywhere from as low as 240 to as high as 270.

Also, 3.9L v6 has been ddiscussed... so that sounds like it will be the engine

Sounds pretty good... although if i was gonna get one of those it'd have to be the V8. I was thinking tho, it'd be nice if they went back to the old days and offered more than just 2 different engines... you could have the V6, a supercharged V6, that 5.3L V8 from the Montes and the big corvette engine... or something like that. Variety is a good thing :)

You guys are crazy, with the price of gas going up, we'll be lucky to have a 4-cyl Camaro. Just look at the trend in the late 70's; We're going through that whole cycle again.

the 5.3 you are talking about has the DOD system and I do believe the camaro will come with it in the LS2.

Re: The new 2011 V6 Camaro

i was reading the newest issue of Motor Trend and it said that the camaro will likely not get the LS2 as shown in the concept.

base - 3.9L, 240 hp & ft/lbs tq.
just over $20k

Z28 - "...anything is possible. Instead, sources suggest it'll run a closely related aluminum 6.2-liter like the one bowing in the 2007 Escalade, featuring cylinder-shutoff. It should twist the dyno needles to around 400 on the horsepower and pound-feet scales."
under $30k

ZL1 - possibly LS7, in order to compete with the Challenger, Shelby GT500

the article is actually pretty interesting, and the pictures are good.

Re: The new 2011 V6 Camaro

they wont put the 6.2 in the camaro. It will be the LS2. you dont need a special motor to have the DOD. its just an extra oil pump which can sit in the valley, special lifters and some tuning.

I also dont think they will have a ZL1 as a common option. GM doesnt need to have it to compete cause the have the.....dun dun DDDUUUNNNN CORVETTE

Re: The new 2011 V6 Camaro

can't wait...i don't think chevy will be able to deliver enough camaro's for the first couple years...even though the v6 suppose to start somewhere around 20k but i think it will go like 25k-27k because there will be so much pressure by the consumers.....just look at solstice..... i am a little confused about the release date too ..first i heard 2009 now i am hearing 2007 ....wth...when is it coming out? or is it coming out at all??????

[BLLDOGG]

Re: The new 2011 V6 Camaro

Its been discussed by GM to be 09' as a 2010.

there is no way it will be 07' because they havent even chosen a place to build it publically
