V10 in a Camaro

Do you think it could happen? Would you want to see this as an option?

Not really necessary IMO. Not to mention the price for the car would likely skyrocket.

The sound of a V8 owns the sound of most V10. Heard a Viper?....not the best sounding car around.

i dont even think gm can make a v10 at this point. i heard when they had the caddy concept with the v12 they had to use that becuase they kepted snaping the cranks shafts in the v10 and i have no idea why they didnt have the problem in the v12

True

They already have a 7L V-8 that puts out about the same power as other V-10s. A V-10 would be pointless IMHO.

Show me a V10 with a nice-sounding exhaust note and I'll reconsider.

Is this a serious question? That's about as likely as it having wings.

I see no reason for the V10. We are getting some of GM's best numbers ever from the V-8's and that's a fact. Cylinder count doesn't necessarily mean better motors. Ferrrari has amazing V-12's and Lambo/Audi V-10's, but remember-more cylinders, more parts, more parts more problems. The engine maintenance on the exotics is expensive and come at very low mileage. Just give us the 8's. They are part of the muscle car mantra anyway.

Whats the need in changing the one valuable constant (powerplant) to a variable?

If one could be built for $35K then ok, if not, then it isn't worth doing
