Expect a debut in Cadillac, then a high $ option for Camaro.
This would be a great engine between the CTS-V and the regular 3.6.

Re: SEMA 09: Jay Leno Camaro

The hood vents make it look like an angry bird taking flight! This would have been a great asset to a Firebird (yes, I said it)...

Re: SEMA 09: Jay Leno Camaro

Re: SEMA 09: Jay Leno Camaro

Easily the best aftermarket Camaro at SEMA this year. I have already postulated in a post last year that Chevy should consider a twin turbo v6 "GTX" version of the new Camaro. Seems they were thinking in the same lines with this car.

Re: SEMA 09: Jay Leno Camaro

Nice looking camaro. Would be interesting to see how much room is left in the engine bay with the twin turbos and the v6. Seen a few twin turbo v6's where it's an absolute mongrel getting the turbos out when you want to upgrade them or they die. Something to keep in mind as a downside.

Re: SEMA 09: Jay Leno Camaro

Love the wheels (would love to slap a set on my Malibu!) and the hood......the powertrain sounds suitably exotic and would make a nice compliment to the big V8's in the top-spec models. Build it GM (and then share with your other divisions) !

I'm not saying it's ****, just something to keep in mind, like I said it would be interesting to see how much room is left in the engine bay. Case in point has anyone here changed the turbos on a 300ZX TT. Not a fun job.
