nice finds..

People, quit whining and complaining about the performance times, if you dislike it, don't buy one. I bet you the SS dips far into the 12's with no problem. Remember the #'s the magazines gave the LS1, 13.8 in the quarter mile?

when the ls1 4th gen came out it wasnt fast enough. some people even thought it was slower than an LT1 for almost the EXACT SAME reason we are seeing now.
Many people had personally ran there LT1 cars to mid-high 13's stock or near stock. So then when some mag times of the ls1 cars come out at a 13.8..well you have a situation looking very similar to this one.

fast forward to now...LOL. the 4th gen LS1 is gods motor and car on this site

history always repeats itself...I love it

haha, yea i can see a repeat coming.. i still say a mildly bolt on, LT's/full exhaust lid fbody will take a new camaro with ease..


i really hope they are fast though... cause our fbodys will be pushed to the back of the pack when people are talking about rivalries..

Right in line with what I expected right off the assembly line. I dont put much stock in times like this anyway, I look for modding potential and I think the new camaro will be alot faster with some minor tweaks.

Everyone who says they are going to be a turd need to look up what some of the sponsors have done to the LS3 in the vette and how responsive they have been to minimal mods. Check this thread out from thehpfactory https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...&highlight=ls3 Just LT's and a CAI on that vette made over 400 RWHP from the LS3. Add the mild cam in there and see what it made.

It will run high 12's stock. Don't worry.

all excellent points. In no way does this detract ME from buying the car. I'm just shocked they weren't able to claim a 12 second showroom car.

I can't wait to see what going from 20"s to 15" slicks/skinnies is going to do for it.

And is hideous, wrong wheel drive, and would be left in the dust by even the G8... Whats your point?

If its anything like the SRT8's we may never be able to put 15" drags on the car because of clearance issues with the Brembos. Possibly some 17" Bogarts would work.

Its in the brochure, i believe the LS3 with a 6 speed manual weighs 3700 lbs.

CDBiker220

LS3 six speed is 3860, which i honestly dont think is that bad considering modern safty equipment, still 300 lbs lighter then the challenger. and not much more then a mustang.

CDBiker220

also i just looked and the GT500 is 3,920 lbs, even though the gt is only 3500. Challenger official weight is 4140

just wait till the new z-28 comes out its supposed to have a supercharged 6.2 rated at 550 hp

vtirocz

This is not correct. The fuel economy you're posting is from the 2.4L 4cyl 5spd model. The 6cyl/6spd model is rated at 17city/25hwy. Reference www.fueleconomy.gov

I hope all you guys know they changed the 2008 EPA fuel mileage ratings this year. Did a report for school and had to do some research on it. Its more stringent, cars that might have been rated at say 26 mpg before are now only being rated at 23. Each car is differnent. A ls1 6 speed camaro is only rated at 25 mpg with the auto at 23mpg and we know our cars can get better then that. The 2010 camaro ss is rated at 23mpg under these new standards, the same as our cars, with 100 more horsepower. Sounds pretty awesome to me...i think alot of people are just tryin to find reasons to bitch. All this from Fueleconomy.gov....they have comparisons of the new to old ratings for older cars such as ours

I will be buying a used C6. The weight, MPG, and performance suck. Unless this thing is like 25k I am going to pass.
