Lightbulb New GM Inline Engine

GM is considering a new inline engine for the next generation Camaro. It is reported to use the largest crank GM will ever have made. The next generation Camaro will have an even longer hood to house this new motor. Here is a pic:

So I guess its safe to say lack of torque is not gonna be an issue.

PVO is pushing for a "Massive" performance upgrade...

I heard it's going to be turbocharged...

Hmm... Well the only problem is that I think they would have to increase the weight of thee 5th gen to possibly.... I'm guessing.... 3900 pounds including this engine to hold such a slighty larger engine. I'm not sure but I think for the weight factor alone this idea might be thrown out.

That's a DAMNED BIG ENGINE and some HUGE hairdryers to go on it too!
