The V6 performance package should be strictly handling modifcations and maybe an emblem or two IMO. If you add performance mods you only push it towards the price of the V8 which will way outpower it no matter what.

 

GM was going FWD in the late 80s. The engineers at General Motors knew the transverse transmissions of that time would not stand up to the LC2's power. 10 years later, the L67 (Series II SC) was neutered from the factory because the potential was remembered, it's the only roots blown engine I can think of that didn't come with an intercooler from the factory (think Thunderbird Supercoupe, Lightning, Cobalt SS, 03-04 Cobra). That motor with a factory intercooler would push a w-body into the high 13s. Surely GM couldn't have these grocery getters romp on the LT1 f-bodies around at the time, just like the f-bodies are rated lower then the Corvettes are. Make sense?

 

i think there should be a V6, a v6 that looks nice and a turbo v6 with 425HP just to be different. this is so I only need a boost controller and tunning , and a Stall

 

Anybody still interested in the PV-6??

 

I was just thinking about this today.

I would definitely be in for a V6 performance package with just upgraded shocks/springs/swaybars, and, most importantly, BRAKES!! (Chevy, ya gotta be kiddin' me with single-piston front brakes on a 300-HP, 3,750-lb. car... Did you forget about the LT1 cars' brakes?? Sheesh!) True duals would be nice, too (we know the body will accomodate them).

If such a package were built, I would LOVE to see a comparison chart between a Performance Package V6 Camaro, with the above changes, vs. a $42,000 BASE model BMW 335i coupe.

Think about it... With no drivetrain modifications to the Camaro, you'd have 300 HP for both, similar weight, both RWD, both IRS, and the Camaro would cost ~$15,000 less, run on regular instead of premium gas, and get better gas mileage to boot!) I'd be in for sure.

 

a BMW is a status car, the camaro is just merely another chevy.

 

to me? no! I mean I believe you but the logic is retarded...

 

Are they in fact single piston calipers? Pretty much everything now hows at least dual piston calipers. I figured they would use somthing like the 98-02 cars.

 

Yeah they have said "single-piston calipers on all wheels". This is not enough for a car with this much horsepower and weight if you don't want to be stopping in the middle of intersections!!! Lol ok maybe it wont be that bad, but GM MUST make a brake upgrade an option, or they will lose a ton of money for I know many people who want to upgrade their V6 brakes to like 3 piston Brembo's, some even 4. I understand those Brembo calipers are monsterous, so they could make it an option only for LT's w/ RS cause of the 20" wheels.

 

I am really thinking that it would be SO easy for GM to offer a special handling package for the V6 cars. The V6 cars get softer shocks, springs, and swaybars, plus the smaller wheels and brakes. How difficult would if be to include those upgraded features on the V6?

It would be the best handling Camaro of all time.

Or maybe just wait and see if there is anything like a Z/28 on the way, and then pull the suspension goodies off that car?

Of course at the same time I'm thinking that there would be a market for the smaller/lighter brakes and softer/lighter suspension from the V6 on a "drag pack" V8 car. Maybe, just maybe even include the M6's 3.45 gearset on the A6? That would likely be the quickest (factory) Camaro of all time.

 

Yeah that all sounds great to me, I really don't want to hassle with aftermarket upgrades (cause knowing me I will probably buy way more than I need and end up wasting a ton of money ), but I do want my Camaro to be pretty fast and have really nice handling and stopping distance and such. So PLEASE GM make this performance package avaliable!

 

A supercharged V6 would be cool. Idunno. I might just wait a year and get a SS when I can afford it. Current plans is for a LT1 with RS Package but would like the SS2 but $37,000 is a bit much for me now.

 

A V6 Performance package sounds great.

At 304 hp the V6 has loads of potential to be a great sleeper.

I would love to see GMPP offer a Supercharger package (good for 60-90 hp) for the V6 Camaro. Possible even some additional performance parts - such as free-flowing cylinder heads, larger Throttle Bodies, Ram Air/Col Air Induction, and a better flowing Exhaust system.

It would be great to be able to build a 350 hp N/A V6 Camaro (with performance parts). Or a 390-400+ hp Forced Induction V6 Camaro. So that V6 Camaro Owners could surprise Mustang GT & Challenger R/T Owners.

 

Let's see, for $500 or under, and at GM pricing, the only think that will afford is a shiny turbo chrome plate/sticker on the back. Or just stop by autozone and purchase for under $10. I say lets go crazy 80s retro on the 2010 and put designer rear window louvers on the back with the additional $350 option to color match the paint.

 

Well - Based on the options list - It looks as if Chevy has already planned for a Air Induction & Exhaust upgrades for the V6 Camaro.

But The 304HP V6 certainly should have some nice performance options - Such as the Following.

- Engine Performance packages - such as Ported & polished cylinder heads, larger throttle body, & Performance Cams
- A good Supercharger/intercooler combo.
- Upgraded Brakes - at least equal to the SS model
- Upgrade Springs & Shocks
- A good Nitrous System - with 50/75/100 hp shots.

Also another thought - using the 130hp/liter figure from the Turbo 2 liter Ecotec found in the Saturn Sky Redline/Pontiac Solstice GXP. The 3.6L DOHC VVT V-6 found in the 2010 Camaro would put out about 460 hp - which is more powerful than the LS3 V8 found in the SS.
