Taking into consideration rising fuel prices, Chevrolet is seriously considering making the 2009/2010 Chevrolet Camaro a 4-cylinder!

The base model Mustang would blow it out of the water with its 6-cylinder engine.
But GM vice-chairman Bob Lutz says if the Camaro is mass produced as also V8 and a V6package, the average motorhead will get their money's worth.
"Back in the old days, if you wanted a muscle car, to get a decent one, you had to buy the V8," said Lutz.
"And if you bought the V6, you got a fairly rough, unrefined pushrod engine with low horsepower and weasely performance.
"This time, the V6 in its own right is a very fast, very legitimate car."
Lutz says the lighter V6 gives the Camaro a nearly perfect 50-50 weight distribution. "With the V6, it is not a heavy car. The Camaro will be a lively and engaging car," he said.
It sounds very promising, but I still can't imagine sitting at a red light next to a 4-cylinder Camaro just to hear it "Meow" at the take-off!
