Camaro may be a good track car but it sucks for being a daily driver. I've owned quite a few Camaros through the years and dismissed it as soon as I tried to sit in it, way to tight to be comfortable. I'd take the Mustang or Challenger any day.
No reason it wouldn't get DI and PFI.It would be nice to think the new 5.2 CPC will adopt all the latest goodies from the "Gen 3" Coyote.
And I certainly didn't wish to put a downer on things with the S650 news. The S550 is still young and, I'm sure, has plenty of life left in it yet.
Would be nice if Ford were to drop us an early Christmas present with a teaser of some description, although I think it's more likely that'll be for the Bullitt in Detroit. Maybe we'll get a GT500 Easter present, instead
I hear you, brother.
That would be the logical assumption but my understanding is that the mules witnessed in Building 57 were all port injected only. This was within the past month.
If anyone has been following the Mid Engine Corvette, they Say it will be priced in the 65 to 75k range. That's the 500HP base version and then suppedly 800HP twin turbo starting around the ZR1 price of 120k. It will be one hell of a car and with how many they are projecting for engine numbers they are expecting it to be a hit. I like all brands. Not currently enough to buy any other but the Mid Engine Corvette SOUNDS mighty appealing and by the spy shots and mock ups, it will look great too.
Yeah, but that also depends on the level of mule. Not all get updated as M1 prototypes and I haven't yet seen any that look like VP.
I agree with you. Outlook appears very poor from Ford performance with this news. I’m eagerly waiting the ME vette!!
That's why I at least offered up the fact that this group of mules, near 10 of them, were looked at fairly recently. I understand that Powertrain may or may not be validating another combination. The fact that these were supercharged and without DI is indeed interesting.
Well it depends on what route they take. Based on the suggested info the C8 is likely to become a ME car replacing the front engine layout. If so I’ll bet the base car starts under 99k, more like 65-70k. There intent we’ll be to keep volume about were it is. There was an engine forecast report that claimed 6.2 na ohv expecting about 15-18k produced a year, then a 4.2 DOHC likely TT producing about 7k then a 5.5 DOHC also likely TT producing another 5k a year. Now obviously no one knows what the heck the plan or route is going to be.
:doh:
What year is this? 1998?
