The current 5th-gen Chevrolet Camaro has been in the market since 2009, and obviously it is due for a redesign. Chevrolet will debut the all-new 6th-gen Camaro on this 05/16. However, today GM released some details about this exciting pony/muscle car.

The first teaser image (shown below) is the tri-Y exhaust manifold of the 6.2L LT1 V8 engine, which is to be used on the 2016 Camaro SS.

In this weekend’s Orange County Auto Show, Chevrolet displayed the latest and greatest Corvette Z06.

The 2015 Corvette Z06 is equipped with a 6.2L supercharged LT4 V8 engine with a 1.7L Eaton R1740 TVS supercharger. The powerplant makes 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.

Today there was a rumor that surfaced online that the next generation Corvette may have a mid-engine layout, or will have a mid-engined variant.

First let’s make it clear that Chevrolet does produce a mid-engined Corvette. However, here “a mid-engined Corvette” means Chevy actually only made one unit of such a Corvette, which is the Corvette Daytona Prototype, which Chevrolet created specifically for the 2012 Daytona race. Below are images of this Corvette.

Corvette Daytona Prototype is not a production car, and Chevrolet has no plan to make it a production car, plain and simple.

The fact is, beginning 3 generations earlier – starting from C4, before every new generat...
