Hey Matthew, the reason we "know" (anyone can add if I'm missing something) is because the engine cover on the Cadillac CTS 3.6L V6 is a carbon copy to the spy shots of that one particular engine. Take a look:




And thanks for asking about the color thing. My Camaro is more of a maroon color and I love it, so I've considered getting that color on the new Camaro...if it's offered...but I've always wanted a black Camaro! I honestly think it looks sinister...it's not out of the ordinary...but it's definitely sinister looking, on the right car...and the new Camaro is DEFINITELY the right car

 

Oh yes, I WILL have the first convertible I can get. Blue with white stripes first choice, red with black stripes second choice, then maybe Orange or Black as third. But until I see the car in person in the available colors it will be blue all the way. (depending on the available shade of blue) I, like you, want real colors. Not the bland silvers and blah (metalic tans) that are all over the roads now. Muscle cars should have grabbing colors. Save the silver and blah for the wussy Camarys.

 

Thanks for the 411 buddy... that's right, I remember reading a posting that someone had mentioned before about that........ I didn't like the airbox sitting there. Was hoping the duct led to the small air gap.... but man, that gap is really too small for any duct to feed through.

I rather feed it towards the floor where the air duct is.... but then again, too much debris can get in to the filter. I have my reasons for wanting nice cool air instead of the engine air/heat feeding to the throttle.

I experience some bad **** with my TA for the past six months.

 

Yah you need a change........ the 99 Anni White TA with the stripes were quite appealing to me.. would of not mind White for my most recent TA purchase. Silver was my selection..... Silver is nice but is boring and no excitement at all. It gets old really quickly.

I also wanted the Yellow TA but could not afford it back then.

My interest of getting a Yellow 2010 Camaro is slim for everyone and their grandma will purchase in that color. I will bet my life on this!

Your Metallic Blue with White Stripes is perfect... not too loud and stands out. Mettallic Orange Would also be nice.

Either way, if you don't get the vehicle with the Stripes, the excitement will not last.

I'm sure Chevy will upcharge for the stripes!!!

 

I know this is only a "CONCEPT". but if the V8 Camaro comes with the setup in the concept, then the air intake will be from the vent above the grill. Kind of a RamAir.


Frankly I really hope it does use this functional setup.

 

I completely agree Christian...I hope that it uses a functional setup too!

 

That's a nice Internal Engine Bay..... too bad it's too fake for it's missing too many conventional parts.

From what I see and logical sense, I don't believe they will have a functional slit intake. The slit is too small and is sitting way too high in the front without room above to make use of the Opening.

If you also look...... look how close per say the throttle is to duct. You can never squeeze an Horizontal Air box in there.

Upper hood room of sort is a necessity with any of these vehicles... Take the Trans Am Ram Air hood for instance. You need available horiztonal and vertical space. for the Airbox. Pontiac had a super design for the TA where everything just flowed.

At any rate, it should be that big of a deal if it doesn't work for the Camaro. A functional intake of sort does not function unless you are hauling *** at 100 + miles.

 

The top dog Camaro can't go too high. Where Ford and Dodge have the priveledge to go, basically, as high as they want, Chevy doesn't due to the fact that they will start cannibalizing from the Corvette.

The Ford has the GT...which is $150,000...and Dodge has the Viper $80,000.

Chevy's "big boy" starts MUCH lower than that.

 

Here's a brain teaser for ya':
They're all in the trunk!!! iow, that car runs - it's not fake!

 

You have a proper point...... but 40 Plus Thousand which is still below the Corvette, is still pricey! Get it?

Other buyers wouldn't care, butfor us, we will be going for the Top... and the top can cost us.

When you go beyond 30k, people will be selective and logical in their selection.

For instance, I can't see how a person can pay $60,000 for a Saleen Mustang. The Saleen body parts are under 2000 bucks..... engine mod's etc. is not worth an extra $30,000

 

You'd be surprised just how much engine mods can be worth. Taken a little out of context, but my understanding is an 800 HP Nascar engine can be worth upwards of 50k on it's own... Don't understand how A+B=D instead of C but that's the way it is...

Even if it isn't real RAM AIR per say, this set up would in fact give you cool outside air and not hot air from under the hood. Which will in fact boost power and response. Even if it isn't pressurized.

 

There are too many speculations in this forum about everything...... I guess we need to hold our composure until the the release of the vehicle to get the facts straight about everything.

If that is a fake slit, would you cut it out? At any rate, hood makers will make a useable shaker hood setup.

 

The scoop on the concept is functional. I pray it carries over to production, otherwise get rid of it.

 

When I bought my camaro ss in 02 I could have bought a corvette at the same dealer same time same year corvette for 6000,00 $ canadian more than my SS.

I still bought my camaro, I DIDN'T want a corvette then and I still don't want one now.

As for chevys big boy thats the z06 which retails for about 96,000$ cd

That leaves a lot of wiggle room for a 60,000$ cd SS, sorry guys.
