Ah - but the new G8 only gets a rated 24, and that’s **_with_** the cylinder deactivation. Besides, if the California lawsuit against the EPA goes through, this might be a “California-only” model. It’s too bad that NY follows CA emissions. ---

i think this would be good, as long as it didnt sound anything like a honda, with 260hp or w/e it isnt going ot be to slow and beign a 4cly instead of a 6 it will have better mpg, think about how shitty the 3.4 f-bodys were bad mpg and like 160hp no imagine 260hp and better mpg that would be good it would most likely sell greatly ---

I don’t see the problem with a 4 cylinder turbo RWD Camaro. I’m surprised no one mentioned the Grand National with the 3.8 turbo V6, I mean that didn’t seem to bad. ---

Turbo cars are usually cheap and easy to upgrade so I don’t see this as being all that bad. There’s huge aftermarket support built into the Camaro name. Could be a new era of american muscle cars if they sell well. ---

It will mean good things for the LNF if it does go into the Camaro because it will help its aftermarket. How long till a modded LNF Camaro beats its stock V8 counterpart? ---

How long till a modded LNF Camaro beats its stock V8 counterpart? Oh, and for those who are doubters - remember John Lingenfelter died driving a six-second Ecotec. So the block/system already has _some_ aftermarket support (albeit small for the LNF in particular so far) - adding the Camaro will just increase that. ---
