M/T: Mark Reuss interview
Re: M/T: Mark Reuss interview
Good interview. A little short, but it is cool to get some insight into what the plans are at GM. It is good that they understand that the Camaro has to compete, and it looks like they have no intention of losing. It was funny to hear that they have no problem jabbing the competition also. I like a healthy rivalry. I also like his acceptance of the initial criticism of the Gen 5, and the fact that they actually tried to learn from mistakes on the new one. This really might be a new GM!
The only downer was that he was only able to commit to the new Camaro not being heavier, and not actually lighter.
I wonder how they will get ZL1 performance out of it if they are giving it the 6.2 - 450 HP vette engine and not decreasing the curb weight. The ZL1 has 585 HP.
Something doesn't add up.
Also, doesn't the new vette only weigh a few hundred lbs less than the Gen 5 Camaro? If they are going to use the same engine, the Camaro can't get much lighter without performing pretty close to the base Stingray if they share an engine and transmission.
When are they going to unveil it? I am ready.
