Retailers will be given all the details on the Camaro at that time and according to a source, "real orders for real cars" will begin being accepted.

As for the the V8 i think 375 for the base model is pretty much what i'm expecting. I think there will only be one V8 option for now until the supercharged version rolls out with like 500hp.
The V6 should be somewhere around the 250hp range. It be nice to take out GTs with the V6 model but i just don't see GM doing it.

You really think the V8 Camaro will be rated at less HP than the G8 GXP that will have a detuned(under rated) LS3 @ 402HP? Weight will prob be under 4k but prob real close to the 04-06 GTO weight 3700+(which is over 4k with me in it)... And isn't the V6 supposed to be similar to the 300ish HP v6 in the CTS's?

if the last gto had 400 I dont see the camaro having less than 400 HP for the STANDARD v8 model, the v6 hopefuly somewhere eitehr at cts level or maybe a little less/more (300 hp) and top of the line probably 500 hp
