Would there be a market for a supercharged model of the V6 camaro? Call it a, RS. I'd think there would be a great market for a SC V6 model. Its just something I was thinking about so I figured this would be the place to discuss it.

 

i dont think so when you compare it to the 5.3l v8

 

Probably more suited for the aftermarket.

 

If you do a cost/benefit analysis, you would slap yourself in the forehead and say, " I coulda had a V-8!"

 

Well, its not for me. But I was thinking it could be a great way fro GM to grab a few more people, just having so many options on the table when you go to the dealership would be nice. Or a good idea would be to have GM ship a few off to SLP for upgrades on a possible "rs" model. The z28 has the SS package ofr speed and apearence, the base model should have the RS package just like back in the day.

 

SLP is essentially dead.

And an low level SC doesen't make much sense on any level.

 

And ask your self really......who would buy it? I dont think there is a market to support the development cost.

 

I'd rather have the S/C 3.8 than a HF V6..... The only thing bad about them is they don't sound cool. I bet it would be more fun to drive because of the down low torque and the s/c whine of course.

 

I wouldn't call them dead just yet, but I don't think they would be interested in putting out a supercharger package. Not typically based on their past products, anyway.

 

Well if they did decide to supercharge the v6, hopefully they would add an intercooler this time around as well.

 

I think it would be better to develop a kit for the car that can be ordered and installed at the dealer.

 

i dont think there would be a market. but i think gm should make the new v6 camaro more modable than passed v6's

 

Kind of like the turbo Trans Am, but with a supercharger? Sounds like a good idea to me... but it would probably have to be marketed as part of a specific performance package in order to sell.

 

The market would interfere with the base V8 and probably cost about the same. 2 camaros putting out 350hp, one is an SC V6 and the other a V8 and the difference in cost is negliglible. More people would rather have the V8. Possible an aftermarket SC, but not one from the dealer.

 

I'de support a supercharged v6 for the GTO, or another pontiac or buick car. They've been tied into sc for a long time.
