6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
The original 1st gen Camaro had a straight 6 (250ci 4.0) motor. I wonder if Chevy is thinking of using the straight 6 4.2 that is in the Trailblazer for the base models? It puts out 291hp in the SUV. This would be an awesome motor to have a supercharged or turbo option also.

Re: 6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
Not a chance. Its way too tall and probably too long to fit.

Re: 6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
Nope, it will fit.
Requires a different oil pan and a different intake.

GM will be making a Direct Injection 3.6L V6 with over 300HP soon.

Re: 6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
No way on the I-6 for the Camaro. They have much better car based V-6's. This is designed for turck applications and even negating the weight and set up on the TrailBlazer, the I-6 get horrible fuel economy. 2WD TB gets 16/22 and believe me that is not what I have seen, worse. So, they'll put something in more car based.

I have a feeling they won't use it in the V6 Camaro, though, might make it too pricey, seeing as how we're only getting one V6.

Well, the 6.0 in the Trailblazer only gets 15/19. In the Corvette it gets 17/27. Using that difference in weight and aerodynamics that would put a I-6 equiped Camaro above 30mpg with 300 hp.

Re: 6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
a inline 6 would be nice, however it's seen as an "old" engine. It will take some marketing, and nice numbers (MPG & HP) to get people to buy it.

Someone better tell all those 3 series owners their engines are "old".

The 4.2L I6 came out in 2002. It is DOHC w/ VVT it isn't that old. a DI version would be 330HP+
People would love to have one in the Camaro

It will be out in January in the 2008 CTS and is said by many reliable people here to be going into the Camaro. This might be a optional V6 though.

Re: 6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
Well, I trust your judgement/sources from what you've said in the past, so that makes me very excited! Optional, or not.

Re: 6 cylinder options in the Camaro?
think public, not the enthusist. If they here it has the same type of 6 cylinder that used to come in camaro's they are going to think they are no better than they where.
