The Camaro SS will be powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing up to 400 or 422 horsepower. (Buyers who opt for a manual transmission will get the more powerful engine.) All V8 Camaros are estimated to get 23 mpg on the highway.

All of the new Camaros, whether manual or automatic, will have six-speed transmissions.

that is soooo sad. I drove a 90's Cadillac Deville from Red Lake Ontario to Sturgis South Dakota and then on to St. Louis and averaged over 30 mpg with its V8...at speeds way over where the EPA measures things. And that 4-door plushmobile was no slouch acceleration-wise either. That this new Camaro, 10 years later, with GDI and a 6-speed transmission can only manage 23 mpg with its V8, only 26 with a V6, is just sad. Sad, sad, sad.

The photo comparing the new Mustang with a 66? Everyone knows that just as with the Camaro, Ford based its new Mustang on the later 67, 68 models? The LATER, LARGER Mustangs...the ones you could order with big block 390's, 428's? NOT the little 66's that only came with little 289's. Just a bogus photo from setup to composition to participants.
