I don't think a V10 would happen, and V8's are what define cars like these. You can't betray it's heritage.

I know the ford gt(?) has a v10 and its like 330 cubic inches.

I think adding 2 cylinders and having such low cubes is dumb.

The Ford GT has a 5.4L supercharged V8.

The only domestic gasoline car with a V10 is the Viper.

Man, GM really needs to release some new news.... it is sad that we are left debating about something as far fetched as putting a V-10 in the Camaro becasue there is literally nothing else to discuss....

A V10 would be sweet as far as the extra power you could make.

If you have to ask why, then you just don't get it

No, Ford has a V8 that is 330 cubic inches, the production V10 is 415 cubic inches.

They did mess around with a V10 that was 351 cubic inches. IIRC the Boss 351 mule put out 430 hp and 405 ft/lbs.

I stand corrected, must of been the lambo or viper I was thinking about that had 10-12 cylinders and was only 303in. or 330.

I couldn't afford a V-10... This is kind of a dumb suggestion IMO.
