  • Camaro Z28 rumors dampened by Bob Lutz

    Although subject to various interpretations, Bob Lutz’s most recent comments perhaps dampens the possibility of the Camaro Z28 program being given the go-ahead in the near future. In conversations with Automobile Magazine, Lutz casts some doubt on the potential Camaro Z28 by stating that powerful V6’s and turbo 4 cylinder engines are a better [...]

    Can you argue that it's "revolutionary"? Perhaps. Just because it's "new" and "different" doesn't mean it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

            I believe it did once. Long ago though. At least there was a 'Bird I saw with one. Whole lot of room in the engine compartment. Sad sight, but it was there.

              Already has happened...27 years ago...

              But this statement from Lutz is indicitive of why he, along with the rest of the GM brass, need to be put out to pasture.

              Do not tell the populace what car they have to buy...build them a car they want to buy.

              The car weighs 4100 pounds...more than 1100 pounds than the Cobalt...that poor little motor will be working overtime with only 260 lb-ft of torque to get it moving...

              Outside of Lutz, I have not heard a single other person endorse a 4-banger in a Camaro.

              Let it go, Bob...just let it go...

                  4-banger Camaro?

                  Umm...**** that...

                  My Cobalt has a 4-banger. It is a small, light sport compact that is expected to have one.

                  Who the **** would buy a 4-cylinder Camaro?

                        When I was in autos class back in high school we had a 4 cylinder Camaro come in once. I think it was a very early third gen (carbed). I guess that part of it could have been a reaction to the oil crisis....although the sports car facade only worked when the car was off.

                          I think they learned from the iron duke.

                          What you said about weight is exactly why it wont happen. The only reason people could think of it is because of CAFE and MPG ratings,but it the motor is revved to hell trying to keep up it wont get any better mpg than the DI 3.6.

                              i would slap everyone who bought a 4 banger camaro, and everyone who designed it. Turbod or not, it would be a turd, a huge turd.
