Personally - I wouldn't expect Chevy to offer a Performance Package thru the dealerships that has more than 25 hp and costs more than $1,000 -1,500. Any more and you would have some customers asking why not get a V8.
But it would be nice if you could get superchargers, and performance parts for the V6 thru GMPP.

There was a factory performance pkg for the 4th gen 6 cyl camaro and firebird. It would be nice to see an upgrade pkg for the new 6cyl car also.
I would like to see an option, say a Street Performance Pkg with:
more gearing (3:45 or 3:73) and use the limited slip differential and un-equal half shafts with the automatic, larger rotors on the front with twin piston calipers, larger sway bars front and rear, 19" wheels and a switch to turn off the traction control. Almost all the parts are available now so it would be a fairly inexpensive pkg to put together.
A dealer installed pkg with: cold air intake, headers, X-pipe and retune would be sweet also and would really wake this little piglet up with both pkg's together.

Maybe the Camaro disciples could follow this thread for the V6 car. Seems the blue oval boys are coming out with the very same performance package as the one mentioned above for the V6 mustang to compete directly with the camaro.

Re: Who's in for a V6 performance package?
Sorry for digging up an old thread but I was cleaning out my email and found this. I couldn't let it go. Interesting. The 3.6 did make it into the Camaro.
This came up in the other monster Z/28 thread, but I think it's worthy of discussion on it's own.
Anyway, I'd be all for a V6 performance package. It'd have to be high value though, if it costs too much, might as well pop for the next level V8. Let's say $500 or less on the base car. Call it Y87, F41, whatever.
What could we expect for that? Certainly a retuned suspension, less restrictive exhaust, (probably just a different muffler), wheels?, retuned steering?
What else?

I think some of you guys are missing the point. I'm really talking about an inexpesive package, for afew hundred dollars, that a bucks down enthusiast can add to his base Camaro.
If we're adding blowers, or turbos, or specific engines with slightly more displacement - cost wise, you might as well step up to a V8.
But If you can walk out of your local Chevy dealer, with near 300 hp, a six speed manual, upgraded brake pads, wheels/tires, firmed up suspension tune - for around $22,500 - $23,000, then we've got something.

Yeah, I'm guessing that the HV V6 won't be making it into the Camaro either. Here's some fun facts: the HFV6 is literally factory prepped for a turbo or supercharger, with it's forged bottom end, and piston oil squirters. If someone can crack the computer codes, the motor is built to take almost 400 hp.
And If I were GM, I'd already be developing a certified, dealer installed, blower or turbo kit for the V6 Camaro.
