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.

Its the 80's again. The new 5.0 is hard to beat. I also would like to have one but would mean getting rid of my TA or the Magnum SRT8, so it wont happen anytime soon.LOL!

Agree! Wouldn't mind getting one but not at the expense of the T/A.

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.

Headers, 4.10s, drag radials, and a tune got an Auto6speed to 11.91. NOT BAD!

IMO, I'd rather have a 11GT over a 10SS

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.

The thing is. Is GM going for a more powerful engine? If they go for this then the Camaro will be even more out of reach to the population segment its designed for...This will only increase the Mustang sales more.

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?

I'm saying bolt-on vs bolt-on. The camaro has an edge because it will gain more HP per mod than the fords. Make sense?

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 used to hate the looks of the new Mustangs, but I like them now. I actually think they look really good from the front. I don't like the rear though. The interior on the new GT's look fantastic, but I'd still take an 03/04 Cobra over one.

I do but they're all GM... guess I'm biased

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.
