AGREED.

Are those true duals? Stock? That's pretty sweet.

Is that an IRS rear? Looks kinda weak...wonder how it will hold up to modifications?

Still wish I could afford one.

Engine cover is ugly, so is the radio. The only colors that the car looks good in is black & dark blue. Not that crazy about this new camaro but those 2 colors seem to hide the front grills better.

Yeah, its an IRS rear. I personally havent done much research on the one in the Camaro, but we'll have to see how it holds up to power. Mike @ New Era has a stage 2 SS on order and will definately be testing that.

It doesn't look like the engine goes under the cowl as much as the 4 gens. Hopefully it will be a little easier to work on........

I can't wait to start hearing these cars with headers and a badass exhaust system.

I'd say at least 25WHP on the LS3. Hell, LS1's can pick up almost that much from LT's, and the LS3 responds much better to bolt ons due to the new top end design.

Looks like it's time to upgrade....you PB account. If you post a lot of pics on forums you will exceed your bandwidth regularly
