    Engine options for 7th gen Camaro

    You're not wrong, it's just difficult to believe that a "V8 for everyone" strategy would work. The (incredibly confusingly named) LT1 trim was a relative success, and GM should've thought of it much sooner, but in 2027-2028 I'm afraid one can no longer get away with such a minimalistic trim...

    Engine options for 7th gen Camaro

    One thing we mustn't forget is that a new Camaro can't start at $50-60K, it isn't and shouldn't be a Corvette. In 2016, the base trim of the Camaro was well under $30K, specifically $26,695 for the four-banger and $28,190 for the V6. While this wouldn't be realistic in 2027-2028, price was one...

    Engine options for 7th gen Camaro

    I hope they do, DOHC is overrated and low end torque is unbeatable. No wonder so many are enamored with electric cars, they deliver that in oodles (which is also why I'd love to see AWD via a smaller, 150-200hp electric motor on the front axle). Considering the 6th gen chassis, I don't see how...

    Engine options for 7th gen Camaro

    Agreed 💯, I spent a pretty penny on completely neutralizing AFM on my SS, it would be nice not to have to deal with that again. Looks like at least we won't need to worry about auto start/stop, though.

    Based on the 6th gen, what do you want Chevrolet to do better/include with the 7th gen Camaro?

    I agree with most of these, many were part of the reason for complaints about the 6th gen. A number of them, especially in the electronics category,, would naturally come with any new platform. An inch, inch and a half lower beltline and the same increase in overall height would practically...

    Engine options for 7th gen Camaro

    It would mean DOHC for both the V8 and V6 offering, right? I like the low end torque from the 6.2 pushrod LT1/LT4, and I also don't think any cross-plane crank DOHC engines exist, so we'd have to compromise on the sound, too... the GT350 was the only one with a proper sound, but it had a goofy...

    Spit Balling Here... mid-engined 7th gen Camaro?

    The Stingray is that "poor-Vette", I'd be surprised if a new Camaro had a mid-engine layout. All the more because then it'll have to be a 2-seater, basically a Stingray competitor. GM wouldn't want that.

    Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    Hello everyone, I just joined yesterday from camaro6.com and happy to see this more modern forum engine here :like:. I'm a software engineer and it was a black 5th gen with tasteful exterior mods that got my juices flowing about the Camaro around 2015. My 2018 2SS and the 6th gen in general is...

    Sedan or Coupe 7th gen Camaro - what do you prefer?

    My 2018 Camaro still gets a lot of positive attention, and the 6th gen is objectively the best Camaro ever made. At this point GM are well aware of the shortcomings that limited its sales potential, and if, instead of addressing them and keeping the car a coupe, they bring out a sedan or...
