    I just saw on Youtube (advertisment) that GM put a V6 engine producing 304 HP...... THey shouldn't even made it if they can't build a proper car.

    Especially to bring it back from the dead. :mad:

    The ad said nothing about a V8.

    "304 HP V6/EPA AVG 29 MPG"

    Not really "back from the dead". Its was made for the new Camaro and before GM was in big trouble.

    However its seems a waste to put a 300 hp V6 in a car. Instead put a V8 with 300 hp that would put down a lot more torque.

    I was talking about when they discontinued the Camaro in........... 2001?

    I just checked and they do have a V8 LS3 engine but its only for the 1SS and 2SS
