we wont really know for sure til its released and a supercharger kit is designed and released also. than you also gotta consider the breaking points of the stock parts and how much power you can push reliably

They already have a Magna Charger for the LS-3.The one they put on the G8 GT will also fit on the 5G SS and the G8 GT went from 298 RWHP TO 427 RWHP W/O headers.

G8 GT's don't come with LS3's, they come with L76's.

Well the question hasn't exactly been answered. He was basically wanting to know the details of putting a supercharger on. Can someone that knows let him know things like....what will all be needed to control the added HP...or could he get away with just putting the supercharger on as an only mod, from the stock camaro SS?? Will it still be reliable as a daily driver. Any info would help, thanks.

Did you watch NBC last night. There was info about GM and their problems. They also did a road test using several new CAMAROS. They said it had problems with roll and body flex in the corners and it seemed to be a little sluggish for a V/8 when you get on the gas at speeds above 50 MPH.

First thought: Virgins can't be **** stars.

Serious answer: Anyways, wait till the car is released to ask about its aftermarket. Which is currently non-existent since we know no clearances or under the hood specs and what is going to be able to fit.

Will there ever be a 2010 Camaro. GM just stated it will close 21 plants in North America for the month of Jan 2009 because of their financial problems

Who cares, I feel like its overdone and quite ugly. Too bad. I'll take 1st, 2nd, or 4th Gens wayyyyyyy before i consider a new one. Nasty thing. LS3 is sweet though.

It will take more than an Eaton to make up for the 1,000lbs difference and out run a C6 ZO6.

Look at the New CTS-V very quick car, but no were near the 1/4 and handling performance of the Z.

By the time you buy an SS and put a supercharger and exhaust on it you could of bought a 06 z06.
