What do you think? With CAFE getting hiked up to 35mpg for all of GM, a diesel engine could help Camaro achieve over 35mpg while maintaining performance.
GM is going to put the new 2.9 TDI V6 in the VE Holdens. They make 250hp adn 406ftlbs of torque. VE and Zeta are pretty much the same, it would make for an easy drop in, and a good 35mpg performance machine
GM also has its brand new 4.5 Duramax diesel. This engine will go into half ton pick ups and suv's. It has a brand new design where the cylinder heads are reverse,t he intake on the outside and the exhaust towards the center. The car will have no manifolds as the air will come right over the top of the valves on the intake side. It will fit in the same area as any current SBC. Its rating will be 350hp and 520ftlbs of torque.

So, which do you think would be cool?
