I assume the Blackwing will be the 6.7 with a performance hybrid for Awd as standard as the top Blackwing was the top ZL1 (C7 Z06 engine)
In this case ZL1X = Blackwing
GM is killing off superchargers and C8 Z06/ZR1 engines are too wide and won't fit in the Camaro/Caddy front engine bay.
So it...
A turbo 3.6 v6 would underperform the new 6.7 v8 and likely cost more.
I assume the updated new chassis will be modified for front wheel electrification to expand into the wet and icy winter climates and increase sales.
The front electrification could help improve fuel economy and performance...
I don't think there will be an SS for 7th Gen.
LT - RWD 2.7 four banger 340hp
LTX - AWD 2.7 four banger with electric drive system for front wheels (rRay) 400hp
ZL1- RWD 6.7 v8 525 hp
ZL1X - AWD 6.7 V8 with electric drive system for front wheels (eRay) 665HP
GMs Nascar Camaro uses the ZL1...
5Gen was made in Canada based on Holden Zeta chassis. Between GM killing Holden and GMs new USA Caddy sedan factory having spare capacity, the 5Gen was likely killed 5 years too soon.
The round headlight and corvette taillights 5Gen Camaro would have likely still outsold the 6th up to 2024...
In 1993, the V8-powered Chevrolet Camaro Z28 started at an incredibly affordable base price of $16,779. When adjusted for inflation to 2026 dollars, that equals roughly $38,920 for a base model, or about $44,700 for a well-optioned version with power features and air conditioning.
While I love my 6th Gen.
GM would have likely sold more Camaros if they just kept the 5th Gen around as long as the Challenger.
It was bigger with more interior space and more retro if they kept round headlights and Corvette-like taillights.
Most Camaro owners just wanted that with some...
Total U.S. sales from 2010 through 2025:
• Chevrolet Camaro: 851,956 units
• Dodge Challenger: 781,758 units
Camaro went through two generations while Dodge just did one mild refresh.
GM spent way more on tooling and engineering.
My guess the X variants of new Camaro will have the optional front wheel electric drive system similar to the Corvette E-Ray which with give the Camaro both awd versions of the 4-banger and V8.
Dodge sold nearly 400 thousand more Chargers than Camaros in same time frame.
GM would be smart to go after that business as Dodge made the new Charger too expensive and too heavy.
Camaro Sedan is directly tied to GMs Nascar racing program. No other Chevy nameplate is being used with Nascar so...
Over this 15-year span (2010-2025), Dodge sold approximately 1,231,403 Chargers, compared to Chevrolet’s 851,385 Camaros—a difference of nearly 380,000 vehicles.
