Edit, shoot. One I6, two V8s. Sigh.

Mine was a V8 RS.... perfect for a 17 year old.
Here's all the info you may ever need to know for a 75 at:

6 cylinders have always been the base engine.

Except in the early 80's where the Iron Duke 4 cylinder was offered a couple years.

Yeah, but I had an '89 Grand Am with that Quad 4 HO and 5 speed...that little car kicked ass! I embarrased many a teenage Camaro/Mustang driver with the 'wifes' car...

Lasts months issue of motor trend featured the camaro. It said that the base 6 Cylinder was outputting 304hp and getting 27mpgs. I say dont screw with that. Thats phenominal gas milage out of a engine that outputs 304hp. Though I love the 2.0 turbo ecotec, I just dont see putting it in the camaro to increase a couple of mpgs if that.

Chevy has had a bad history of selling cars with small motors in them. People just don't seem to like things like small motors in large cars no matter how much HP the engine might have. I don't see it happening especially with what would be needed to make a FWD motor work in a RWD car.

Someone forgot to tell the Solstice designers!

The future RWD cars GM has planned will be lighter and only have 4 an 6 cylinders. If they make the cut. Things change everyday anymore around GM.

The Tubo 4 would be a hard sell in a 3800 pound Camaro. GM is waiting to see how the V6 is accepted as it is. In the past the Camaro V6 never did as well as the Mustang. They may have made the changes needed to make it a appeling package finally.

Can you imagine the amount of mods that will come out for this set-up if it gets dropped in a Camaro!!!!!

The question would be would the Camaro ones fit the HHR engines?

They did make a good stage kit to fit the Solstice and HHR but it did not work on the Cobalt?
