new camaro a go

[The Scientist]

If you want to know what is being predicted go buy the latest Motor Trend (I think it was Motor Trend that I was reading) and they have done computer simulations with the Camero vs. Mustang. Some of their info is from inside sourced but most is speculation. As stated above, do not believe everything you read in mags.

i think the engine ratings are true. i remember reading on the Chevy site that the new camaro will have the active 4-8 cyl engines that the new impalas have.

This is a statement i pulled from a PDF that i downloaded from GM's concept page

The Camaro Concept features the latest generation of GM’s legendary small-block V-8.
The 6.0-liter LS2 engine features an aluminum block and heads for light weight, and
Active Fuel Management™, which shuts off four cylinders to save fuel when the engine
is lightly loaded. This concept version of the LS2 is rated at 400 horsepower, yet it could
also deliver more than 30 mpg at highway speeds.

Now the issue here is they specifically mention it's the concept that houses the LS2, nowhere do they say "production cars will have the ls2" so i guess it's still rumors until something with credibility or a source is sited [zboner, lol]

this is all you need to know, im not listing the source on here. but when it comes out you can say i was right and i told ya so

I'd be sad if they don't have t-tops! They've had since forever !

[Danger731]

I know t tops would be awsome, If not a vert ! I got a few payments left on my 02 !, Time to save for the vert option !

I think that has to be BS. It doesn't make sense. Only a 300hp V8 and a 240hp V6? no no no the V6 is going to be the 300hp. Even the cheverlot website says that it will have an LS2 and it is going to have the fuel cylinder management that turns off half of the cylinders on light driving. Performance wise I don't think we will be disappointed, with the new camaros performance. They are sexy as hell and will sell no matter what. regardless made in the US or austraila.

hmmm i wonder how that whole 4-8 cylinder things gonna work when i slap a heads and cam set up? i love a nasty sounding motor .. i cant live without it

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

If The Z-28 doesn't have a 400HP for the base V8 I'd kick it to the curb! I understand having a V6 model though.

Worse, they're going to be made in Canada.

what's wrong with canada? or anywhere else? Im pretty sure ours came from canada...

Start getting on the government to stop the new cafe standards or all muscle power will be gone. A 35mpg standard across the board does not make a V8 rwd muscle car survive.

On a side note, I was driving next to the new 6-speed HEMI CHALLENGER "test mule" in Michigan this weekend and it sounded pretty nice going thru the gears. All blacked out wheels and bra covered but it was still showing thru enough.

You should have hit him and took some pics.


My only problem with the new Camaro is that there will be so many of them. It's going to be like the whole Mustang fever thing. It's like 1 out of every 5 cars I see on the road are Mustangs. I don't want to drive something that is all over the place like that.
