This doesn't speak to well for the camaro either being 3900lb's with around the same power...but like I said before who keeps their car stock in this hobby anyway ;-)
How wonder how well these cars respond to spray...and how much traction their drivetrain can handle with the right set of tire's...

Pay attention. This is about the R/T, not SRT.

It might have been good 15 years ago but today, it's not good for a car like that. I don't see how you can seriously compare this car to one that was introduced 16 years ago when everything was slow compared to todays performance cars. At least compare it to a GTO or anything other than an LT1.

That is pretty dissapointing considering my Imp SS is listed at 5.6 and 14.2 and only has 303hp vs. 370-375. I still think they're cool though and as mentioned people won't keep them stock.

I was simply stating a point. And a 14 sec car will outrun 85% of the cars on the road today if not more...

I think the main point here is that the camaro will LIKELY run atleast a 13.0 while its competition runs a 14.0. That is assuming that the base SS price is close to 30k being that the R/T base price is 30K. If the camaro base price is closer to 35K or 40K then it is more fair to compare to the SRT8. Which is actully a much closer match as far as performance. Regardless i think 14.0 is dissappointing considering it costs 5k more then a base mustang gt that can run 13.5-13.8

well the ls1 made its first showing in an f-body in 1998, and ls1 f-bodies ran 13's all day. and here it is 2008 and they still haven't caught up, or either just now catching up. pretty bad if you ask me.

I can't wait to get on the dork at my work who is a total "mopar" fanboy. Anything mopar is the greatest thing ever and anything by anyone else sucks. Funny coming from a guy who drives a neon. If those numbers are accurate, that car's a joke.
, those stories are true, BUT i do like my GMs also, i love my Camaro, but not to long ago, i spanked on tons of chevy's & fords at the local tracks in my Duster, they never liked lineing up with me, but we always hung out & parked together in the pits.

Now IMO as for the 14.0 challenger, I'm sure its faster then that in stock trim with a good driver, look at the 300s running 13.0s with next to nothing, that shocked me, i didn't know those cars ran that good, they are claiming low-mid 13s on the new challenger in there testing. we shall see once they start hitting the track.
