Description: When GM rolls out a new Corvette, it often builds a new engine along with it. And that engine often finds its way into other GM products – like the Camaro, the new SS, and in the premium category, th...Add Comments22
Milito MayorgaFeb 19, 2013 Why not everyone is running turbos
William DownsFeb 19, 2013 Simplicity has always been part of the gm v8, not just the LS series, no need to worry about that problem
Jt CollierFeb 18, 2013 ill give credit where its due, its a pretty great engine, im just not sure it will be as easy to tune the hell out of it. simplicity was the LS's strong point
Lou GuerreroFeb 18, 2013 Gonna research this new LT1. I know nothing about it.
Jimmy BartolottaFeb 18, 2013 I'm hoping for a supercharger. I'm not really a fan of turbos
Dylan BruderFeb 18, 2013 Supercharger! Better driveability and power delivery plus it's part of what makes it feel more unique with everyone else using turbos
Tara FitriaFeb 18, 2013 I would think turbos, high power with decent fuel economy would be a good selling point. Variable vane turbos to help with low end torque could be a viable option.
Tim PreisingerFeb 18, 2013 Would make more power with a turbo... But I can't help but prefer that supercharged sound...
Jon AshleyFeb 18, 2013 bring it on GM. cant wait to see the new CTS-V. personally, I'm hoping for a supercharger. I love that whining sound on american V8s. wastegate blowoff to me just wouldn't sound right.
Colby ChurchFeb 18, 2013 Also GM trucks use a version of the Corvette engine, they always have.
Jordan SmithFeb 18, 2013 It'd be really close between a C63 or this for me. I love them both.
Vinny CoppolaFeb 18, 2013 The best looking car on the road, I have been inlove with this car ever since it came out. I don't know why anybody would choose a M3,C63 or RS5 over this....
Kyle GareauFeb 18, 2013 These are the coolest gm's ever built
Mike CarbaughFeb 18, 2013 It looks good from every angle
Julian PilinciFeb 18, 2013 It looks pretty nice from up in this angle.
Description: Just which one – compressor or twin spools – GM goes with will likely depend on the outcome of testing said to be currently underway. The forced-induction LT1 would replace the supercharged LSA in the...Add Comments16
Trent FialaFeb 20, 2013 @william yeah I know lol I knew this a few months ago though, before they even really said anything about that
William DownsFeb 20, 2013 Yea they have said in every article that mentions an ats-v since the ATS came out that gm was planning a TT v6 for the ats-v, so not really new news, even says it in the article
Trent FialaFeb 19, 2013 I talked to the guy who is the head of the gm powertrain plant where they make all the corvette engines and used to make the cts-v engine (which is now made in Mexico) but the next generation it's going to be made in wixom Michigan again and I talked to him a little bit about the ats-v and he was talking about how they will be building TTv6's for them so other then if he lied to me then it will ha...
Tyler TarboxFeb 19, 2013 Could care less if it's a V6 or V8. As long as it goes like hell and looks good!
Lou GuerreroFeb 18, 2013 I'd never consider this car unless it had a hopped up V8. Does nothing for me otherwise. C'mon ATS-V!
Dylan BruderFeb 18, 2013 Don't get your hopes up for a dct GM doesn't make one to my knowledge it will more than likely be a 6l60 or the new 8 speed coming up
Zeus MochaFeb 18, 2013 It better have a DCT as well.
Johnny MatiasFeb 18, 2013 Just realized the whole M3 v. ATS-V is gonna be epic.
Aaron CrispFeb 18, 2013 Can't wait to see the new ATS-V. I'm hoping for a V8 but I understand a TT V6. Just like the M3 eh?
Ashton SummersFeb 18, 2013 As long as it will pin me in the seat a quarter throttle.
Tyler TarboxFeb 18, 2013 ATS-V will hopefully be an M3 killer
Tim PreisingerFeb 18, 2013 Horsepower sells cars. Torque wins races
Colby ChurchFeb 18, 2013 Supercharger gains more low RPM torque. GM lovesss torque. There are some turbos that are close though.
Ben NortonFeb 18, 2013 I'd like to see twin turbos but I'm betting on a supercharger
Tyler WallaceFeb 20, 2013 I see a lot where I'm at they look big in person nice as hell tho
Jacob BurfordFeb 19, 2013 I'm still yet to see one, but I like the look of them from photos!
Tyler TarboxFeb 19, 2013 That is surprising some of you haven't seen many. I see at least 7 or 8 a day. And I drive maybe 10 miles on an average day
Stephen Tyler LearnFeb 18, 2013 I live in bum fuck Pennsylvania and I've even seen a couple. Can't believe you guys haven't seen any yet
Ben BrightFeb 18, 2013 Same here. vv I haven't seen even one on the road.
Paul SmolinFeb 18, 2013 Not where I live not selling at all CA.
Tyler TarboxFeb 18, 2013 This car is selling like crazy right now. They are absolutely everywhere in my city.
Justin ChavezFeb 18, 2013 Yea i had seen a few at car shows or parked somewhere but this weekend i saw one on the highway and was genuinely pleased. It came out really nice and cant wait for a V8!!
Jon AshleyFeb 18, 2013 we can only wait and see stephen. I would love to see a v8 powered competitor for the m3
Colby ChurchFeb 18, 2013 This is a standard ATS. I saw one yesterday for the first time. It looked great.
Stephen CobbsFeb 18, 2013 Ohhhh man ATS-V with LT1?!
Scott WhittmanFeb 18, 2013 Id take one of these babies and hand it off to John Hennessey for a few months. It looks so good stock and John can keep it like that.
Jackson MichaelFeb 18, 2013 The sedan is one of the few American cars I really love but the coupe is alright
Tyler TarboxFeb 18, 2013 Sedan is the best but the coupe is still awesome
Boyd BoudreauxFeb 18, 2013 I'd love to see a bigger wheel and wheel arch to suck up some of that quarter but all n all awesome car
Jon AshleyFeb 18, 2013 just an idea, but, an ATS coupe?
Colby ChurchFeb 18, 2013 I like the coupe 5 times better than the sedan. To each true own. I like the coupes hunched up rear. Looks aggressive and screams stance.
William DownsFeb 18, 2013 I don't like the back end on the sedan, looks a little to plain for me, coupé ftw
Larry MartinoFeb 18, 2013 The sedan looks much better IMO. The coupe looks like a hunchback

Why not both? Lol
I just feel like a supercharger would fit a car like this more. Always been a fan of a big Eaton blower.
Well that escalated quickly @justin
Way to be a creeper sir
We should get married Tara
I agree with Tara.
I'm hoping for a supercharger. I'm not really a fan of turbos

My truck uses an LS2.
bring it on GM. cant wait to see the new CTS-V. personally, I'm hoping for a supercharger. I love that whining sound on american V8s. wastegate blowoff to me just wouldn't sound right.

Twin charged ftw
GM is on a roll
*always not often.
supercharged ftw!
TT FTW
