Well, I'm not saying it needs a specific V6, what I'm saying is that there very well (and very likely) will be a V6 available to Camaro when the time comes.

I am quite sure there are motors being worked on at GM Powertrain right now that are not in an existing car yet.

On top of that, existing motors will be improved over their lifespan as well...

Has it been confirmed that a 3.5 will be used for the Mustang?

Supposedly, it will be the base engine on Mustang, within 1 year of it's (the new Mustang), introduction.

Like Z284 said... Supposedly. I have a good reference that it is intended to go into the '06 model.

It's smaller overall, and it's all-aluminum too.
Everybody say it with me...
lighter front end...
more horsepower...
ooooohhhhhh......
Now if they'll swap MacPhersons for wishbones, go IRS behind, and put the new A5 in it, you will have a VERY FUN little road car to sling around in - cheap too!
