Throw in a big turbo with the Alison 6 speed auto and you got yourself a deal, overseas at least.

So the turbo rotary base Camaro is going to be diesel? That is awesome!
I wonder how much hp it will make?

HAZ-Matt, I didn't mean for my post to be addressed directly at you -- I meant it for everyone.

A four-cylinder Camaro is a terrible idea at any trim level.

I am genuinely surprised that most people (not just on these boards) seem to have forgotten that there was a 4-banger Mustang in the 80's.

It surprises that people have no clue about the Iron Duke F-bodies of the 80s either.

Well, I guess I have no clue. Care to fill me in?

AND/OR V6 owners buy the base because its the cheapest and that is what they can afford.

Re: 5th Gen 4cyl???

My buddy had a 4-cylinder Firebird, 4-speed (manual), there is no way to accurately describe how much it sucked. 92 savage, tire-burning horsepower, simply underwhelming at any RPM. His car did not last very long, so it has been a long, long time since I have seen it, but I think it was an 83 or 84 model.

Re: 5th Gen 4cyl???

Yeah, I don't think they offered the 2.5L Iron Duke after 84, or 85... I'd have to go back to www.thirdgen.org and look up the numbers. But I think the server is still down...
