Thanks for bringing this thread back to 5th gen Camaro discussion.

I was pretty curious as to why it was moved to 5th gen powertrain although it was a generalized thread on the subject.

 

If the engine acts as good as it does in my CTS then you V6 Camaro buyers have NOTHING to worry about.

 

Based on the Edmunds test, it's even better in the Camaro

 

As it SHOULD be since it has been out 2 years. One thing I notice about my engine is the fact that when it is cold it clatters a lot. Once warmed up, it is not really bad at all (you can still hear it a bit), but I think that has to do with the DI. But when I saw Jay Leno start the Camaro V6, it didn't have that sound at all, which is great!

Other than that, the engine has been flawless expect in the first 3000 miles it burnt off a quart of oil. Since then it has been a-ok.

 

The V6 will have a 6 spd and has a final EPA rating on 29 mpg highway and 304hp. A little cold air induction and an exhaust and you should be putting out at least 325hp. Not bad for a little 3.6 V6!

 

The post you quoted was about ten months old. We all know the specs now.

 

My bad! I still get better gas mileage in my 01 SS!

 

What you actually get is only loosely related to the EPA rating.

 

Actually the EPA substantially lowered it's expected mileage ratings in 2008. The gas mileage I quote for my SS are actual highway miles per gallon over a 1000 mile trip.

 

Gas mileage varies by driver
