I Have a 2016 Camaro 2LT for a Week. Feel Free to Send Me Your Questions About It.



I'm starting the new year with one of the cars that's kicking off the beginning of the sixth generation of the Chevrolet Camaro.

DerekShiekhi

Ha ha. Good question. This is the only 2016 Camaro my media fleet guy had in stock at the time I reserved it.

what trans is in it?

DerekShiekhi

It has the 335-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 hooked up to a Tremec TR3160 six-speed manual. More info on my review vehicle can be found in my LS1Tech blog post here: https://ls1tech.com/articles/i-have-...ions-about-it/

How fast is it (as in comparable to other cars)? I'd like to get one for a work car. Also interested in cruise speed fuel mileage.

DerekShiekhi

I'll have to find that out this weekend. Unfortunately, I won't be traveling to Houston in it after all. However, I will go for a cruise in it to discover the cruise speed fuel economy. I'll present my answers to these questions in my full review, which will come out in the near future.

Give us some specs on the 3.6 V6 in there. I've read that it is "all new" and a real screamer. My real question is what is really "new" about this engine, and does it share a lot of parts with last year's engine?

Also, is this the same engine you can get in a Cadillac ATS or CTS?

**** would be awesome if the new V6 in that chassis went 12s stock.

So if the V6 was $35K do you have any idea what the LT1 V8 with the manual transmission costs?

I want to know how you would compare this to a V8 automatic 5th gen camaro

i agree but im the sure price wouldnt be awesome.

37k gets you a base 1SS with a manual trans.

Do you know anywhere to get supercharger kits or exhaust for the V6
