yes, but does it have something to do with the motor, a multivalve camaro (specialy a v6) would had smoked the competition more easily and maybe with out mayor mods. GM makes the grand prix and grand am and they have multi valve motors. Imagine a SS multivalve, every cobra nigthmare.

Why didn't GM put in a bi-turbo V12? Economics! The 3.8 was on the shelf, available, cheap, and reliable. By the way, the 3.8 Series II is an excellent engine.2001 Camaro M5 Coupe(1 of 2,737), no options, Whisper Lid, K&N Air Filter, Free Ram Air, MAFS Screen removed, SLP Manual Fan Switch, 160 thermo, DEE\'s T/B Spacer, EGR Block-off plate, IAT resistor, CAI to EGR air feed, B&M Ripper Shifter, SLP Replacement Grill, T/A Exhaust, SLP five spoke take-off wheels, BMR strut-tower brace, BMR Tunnel Brace, BMR 32/21 front & rear sway bars with poly, BMR Poly/Combo Rear Control Arms, Clear front & rear corners, HPP3 modified 87 Octane program.<p><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/red2k1\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/red2k1</a>Comment

GM likes pushrod engines for more torque and longevity.Jason McCallister, Founder & Webmaster<br /><a href=\"http://www.wtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">West Tennessee F-Body Association, Inc.</a><br /><br />2000 Camaro - <a href=\"http://www.wtfba.org/site/view_member.php?ID=68\" target=\"_blank\">Details</a>Comment

DOHC engines are inherently more complex and costly. Two attributes that manufacturers try to avoid. In addition, it's easier to tweak a standard pushrod engine. Look what they did with the Corvettes. Needs some more ponies? Make a few relatively simple mods (mostly to help breathing) and you go from a 345hp LS1 to a 405hp LS6.<b>Mike</b><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mcjoslyn\" target=\"_blank\">2001 Camaro</a><br />Light Pewter Metallic Convertible<br />AU0,A31,C60,DG7,F41,GU6,K34,L36,M30,T82,T96,UN0<p ><b>If it can\'t be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion.</b>Comment

Ya know it is a shame GM did not do more with the 3.5 "Shortstar" V6. It was an engine based off the 4.6 Northstar but with 2 cly chopped off. From what i hear and from people who have that in engine in there car, it is a really good engine with killer top end.
