Default new turbo camaro

So the other day i was at the chevy dealership in town and i was talking to a sales manager about the new camaro ss. The manager was telling me that the new camaro might come with a turbo upgrade kit like the lingefelter vette. I dont know how true this is but it gets me excited.

Nah. Not from the factory. Lingenfelter isn't factory either. GM hasn't supported a turbo v8 in the past 25 years from the factory.

The way he was saying it you could bring your camaro to the dealership and they would install it without it voiding the warenty.

It might be a butt mount turbo.

There was some talk of a turbo 4 (Soltice GXP/Sky Redline/Cobalt SS Ecotec turbo?) going into the new Camaro, perhaps that's what the uniformed sales guy really meant?

He's probably confused about the turbo upgrade for the Cobalt SS, HHR SS and other factory turbo'd Ecotecs they announced.

The aftermarket is going to hit this new Camaro hard so it probably won't be a big seller to offer a supercharger package from GMPP. Unless it's warrantied. And it won't happen until they see solid sales or if it's already planned for a Z28.
