That could be for an easy MCE.

 

I am getting so excited about the 3.6 D.I, if it is D.I. I hope it has D.I because i seriously have a great passion to take out 300 HP mustang GT's. If you can just imagine looking at the Mustang GT 300 HP after its been blown away by a v6 D.I Camaro.

 

What mods are available for the DI 3.6? You'll need them if you expect to run with Mustang GT's, much less blow them away. The 4.6 will offer significantly more torque along with a broader powerband than the 3.6. Peak hp numbers tell only part of the story.

 

My biggest complaint, being too wide, at least appears to have a very good side effect in my opinion. Room to work in the engine bay. This car is looking better and better.

 

I can see all the aftermarket parts guys thinking how to design a Cold Air Inktake to
come straight off the throttle body into the hood opening scoop. If the scoop is closed,
well it will get opened. Yeah that airbox is gonna have to go!!!

 

Considering the hood scoop is directly in front of the hood latch, this will be an interesting feat of engineering, for a simple CAI kit.

 

Hoodpins!

 

Packaging. The top engine is from an 04 CTS, the bottom from an 08 G8.

Similar to how the accessory packages on LS1s were completely different between Fbody, Ybody, and GTO installations.

 

2 more tell tales of the engine in the black Camaro is DI 3.6 is the hump at the back of the mani and the vacum hose going in just before the V shape joins .

That is a DI 3.6 .

 

No biggie, when I first saw the DI pic, I thought it was 2 tensioners on one belt cause I saw the non DI first!! lol

 

No kidding!


Done for mid life design changes, but yes, it could make for badge engineering if the car took off.



Ford isn't letting the Mustang GT stand still in all this, ya know?

Ford also had Direct Injection V6 (plus even a turbocharger) in development. And it's likely to wind up on the Mustang.

We're about to see a brand new horsepower race at another level.

That's whay I'm bullish on performance at a time when more pessimistic members here see doomsday.


If it is, I suspect Camaro V6 and 6 speed manual might bump the G8 ST "El Camino" as my next vehicle.

 

After 40 years, I don't think that it will be the first to go, no matter how good the build quality.

Look at a '69 Camaro...similar...

If you like the concept headlights, you should like what the production ones are.

It is...or part of it.

Whatever the powertrain winds up being, V6 or V8, you can bet the aftermarket will go nuts for it on all levels.

There is decent room to work. Not much room to add a bunch more, but just working on it is MUCH more accessible than a 4th gen. Then again, it should be. This car and the 4th gen only share the name and heritage and nothing else.

I hope it does happen but all I can say is good luck to anyone who accomplishes that while making it worth the effort.

 

So does that mean that the spark plugs can not only be reached but changed in a timely manner? That would be very nice.

 

Thank you GM. Ive had so many bloodied up fingers from working on these cars, not to mention pulling a contortion act trying to get to some places

 

That will look good sitting next to my s197
