Those picturesreally aren't a big deal, jobs should be OK. It's not like it's showing us the production car done.

Sweet! Production test runs! I was wondering whey they were going to start the test runs to check fit/finish, line accuracy/speed etc.

The Jalopnik pics are of the Maximum Bob LS9 version with 550 hp and a price tag of $29,000.

Hey everyone! Just stumbled on this site while searching the internet, so i decided to register. I have only been part of the camaro5 forum and this one looks great too. I cant wait 'till the Camaro comes out to be my first car.

Anyway back on topic. The way the disciples were talking, this would IMO be the D.I. 3.6.

P.S. I cant find how to upload a user pic.

look at the 3 fluid caps on the driver side of the engine at the front of the engine on the Camaro pic. The old V6 only has one cap, the new DI V6 has three caps. The intake manifold may be different, but to me it still looks like a DI V6.

Definitely looks like a 3.6l in that Camaro, now the question is at what power level... I'm not buying the V6 either way but I'd be somehow disappointed if it only had the ~260hp version... Surely the focus group wouldn't be particular excited over anything less than 300hp. Dare we dream of more power???
Anyone know why the DI version would require two belts compared to the non-DI version?

It kinda looks like the LS1 arrangement of 1 belt dedicated to the A/C compressor, and 1 for everything else?

40 years? Try the first week, when someone wrecks theirs. You know it's going to happen.

Sorry! Looks like you're right on that .

When I first looked to compare the two, I saw the A/C compressor and drew my conclusion from there!!

Looking at the pic of the car on the assembly line from the rear, it looks like it could accept a different bumper cover and taillights from what the Camaro gets.
I could be wrong, but that's the way it looks to me.
