It's never ending.... At least I hope it's never ending.
Last year we were all going nuts over the idea of 305hp in a V6 pony car, if you can still call them that.
This year we shall welcome the introduction of the 323hp V6 "pony" car
45th aniv Camaro to get 323hp V6

Yep. It's the 60s all over again. Let the war commence.
:firedevil: 660!!!! DOHC :firedevil:
Somehow I knew this would give Smittro a woodie. :) It is amazing how the V6's have climbed in output -- used to need a turbo to do that back in the day.
Making more with less is the name of the game now. I wonder how far this will go?
looks nice.
Hmm let's see how fast 323 hp can pull a 4000lb car
I'm pretty sure the all aluminum DI 3.6L DOHC is subtantially lighter than the LSx 427..;)Quote:

But then again they had to sell LS1's too..:lol:
Someone should drop one of these into a 4th gen.... i'm looking at you smittro
323 HP....but how's the torque? What's the dyno curve?
Kinda pointless if the majority of your RPMs are 200-250 HP, then a sudden spike to 323 at 6500 RPMs
mer. gimme a bump in the ss hp.
They just need to put porky on a diet...Quote:

A family friend of ours has a 10 v6 Camaro 6spd..
I like the car.. I also like the low roof line.
That is till I got into it.. Felt like the drivers seat of a sherman tank..:lol:
But the ride quality and handling was a night and day step up from the 3rd and 4th gens I've had..
Hard to compete with a fully independant suspension even if we are lighter..
iirc, Early platform tests also indicated that the v6 5th gen handles better than the SS 5th gen also..
how aboot both a diet and mo powa?Quote:
