A new, L99 V-8 engine is used on automatic Camaro SS models, which features GM’s fuel-saving Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation technology. It is estimated at 400 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque and is matched with a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed transmission.
I've always been a GM and Mopar fan.This deactivation technology has got me a little bummed.I'm old school This Isn't a real V-8
You are pretty optimistic GM will even be around to produce this car. By then it'll be the Kia Camaro!
I'm not sure I like the styling just yet, plus that goofy Chevy badge in the grill is waayyy too big. :shrug: Maybe I will like it more in person. If I had to pick between this, a Mustang, and a Challenger, it would be Challenger all the way. It is pricier, but the stance and styling of the Challenger in person is just jaw dropping.
