Default RE: Camaro may get direct-injection V8

I would think that the first year for this engine to be out in the Camaro and/or Corvette, that there are gonig to be problems with it. Anything new out for the first year usualy has some kind of problem and engines are no exception. With that, being that this is a newer technology and Chevy keeps pushing the hp higher and higher then I'm sure that they are going to have to make a decent suspension to back it up. I guess what I'm getting at is, is this Camaro with all this high tech high hp stuff in it going to be the higher end Camaro? I can't see this thing being as cheap as the Mustang with all this high tech stuff in it. Maybe up there with the Shelby Mustang, but definitely not a step up from the V6, more like two steps up. Now if Chrysler would get this way of thinking, Corvette sports car, Camaro muscle car, then we would have one bad Challenger. Unfortunately it's probably more like Viper, top of the line sports car, Challenger, "poor" man's sports car.
