I think a lot of guys are going to have trouble pulling decent 60ft times with that much power on those narrow tires.
They do look great in grabber blue. There's one at a dealership around the corner that I'll be picking up if I hit the lotto. Impressive cars.

They are in the 12's with a competent driver and also with an A6, Evolution ran a 12.9x. SVT has alot of info already for the 11GT if you so choose-

No...a simple bolt on LS1 cannot take them. In reality GM dont have ANY chance with this car unless they make dramatic changes to the current Camaro platfom. (which is a big fat ugly pig...IMO). These are going to sell like hotcakes.

The LS1 is 13 years old now guys. GM has to be thinking about a new more powerful, and efficient engine. The whole line of LS engines are definitely good but they are out dated. Its time to move on.

Not exactly. A 5th gen camaro with bolt-ons will smoke a 5.0 because it's practically modded right off the line-there isn't much you can do to 5.0 as far as bolt-ons. I know it comes with cold air intake, headers (mids maybe), and true duals.

They need to come with a new more agile, lighter platform for them to be an option. Perhaps this new Mustang would only accelerate the second dead of the Camaro? GM could just avoid and ignore that class of car and concentrate their efforts in continue licking Obama's *****! This is just my opinion.

Are you serious/ That dont make any sense. Perhaps 5th gen bolt on Camaro will be closer to the Mustang, but SMOKE IT? Have seen the weight difference?

It may be time to read forums other than LS1Tech..hah
· Stock – no modifications: 363RWHP / 331RWTQ
· Factory tune, Prototype C&L cold air intake: 374RWHP / 338RWTQ
· Bama Custom Tune, stock Airbox: 379RWHP / 357RWTQ
· Bama Custom Tune, Prototype C&L cold air intake: 385RWHP / 362RWTQ
...and that was an automatic.
I can't find the link for a 11GT with headers, but I think it was around 419.
So, they respond well to mods.

I really hate saying stuff like I heard or read because It's not solid proof. I'm speaking on info I read at camaro5.com and now that I think of it, that info was before the 11gt's were at dealerships!
I have no reason to even debate 11GT FTW
no I'm jk I want to buy a SS soon though.
