Tons of people. And to make them faster, just like people do to fords and chevys
Those 392 are pretty good for being a 2 ton+ car. Got one up to 170 and it was still pulling right off the showroom floor. Not to mention a low 12 isn't that bad all things considered. I think the new charger srt8 look more like an evo
hey man!, that new engine in them has been bumped to 475hp i believe...that is enough HP to make almost any heavy, newer, fat *** car run decent...i personally like the look of the new charger's..they look just like a GTR in a few ways..mostly in the front
btw Ohioborn!...good change of topic...we Chevy and Ford lovers can pick on Dodge now

It's only a matter of time before the aftermarket cracks the codes to flash the PCM's on the 392's. Then the bolt-ons and internal mods will follow...
Then the Mustang and Camaro boys will go running for cover. lol

but in all i beleive GM did good with the new camaro's...hell they are selling like hot cakes and are (last time i checked) even outselling the new mustang's wich is amazing compared to thier prior selling prowess over the camaro's in the 90's
hell ,they look awesome ,they are fast even tho they are heavy, and they mod up pretty good...just cant' wait for the ZL1 to come out..it will either be a GT500 killer..or get killed by the GT500..

yep ,sad but true..for me..i doubt you care much..( unless you want more competition from GM) lol..the LS3 has the power to move the new camaro much faster if only it was a few hundred pounds lighter..hell..just an LS3 transplant into an F body such as mine would make for an interesting car (sure it has been done no doubt)..i'm guessing probally would make the average 3,400LB 98-2002 F body make around a 12.1 quatermile pass given the weight difference ....( GM and Crysler need to adopt AR 600-9 from the Army for weight control LOL)

The ZL1 will be a good battle for the GT500. Weight will be its hinder like the GT500. That and traction again like the GT500. . Then until 2013 and the new GT500 comes out with over 600hp.
I have seen a few camaro's run pretty good. Last one seen was SC with bolt ons running 12.8 at same track I was at running 11.8's. He was on his 20" rims with drag radials on them. Kinda disappointing. One guy showed up with his Cammed/SC/Full bolt on 660whp SS but would not run. He tried talking **** at first to me and a buddy with a 5.0. Heard we ran 11's and told him to run then. He made excuses why he couldn't. With that much power he better run a 10. He has had the car done for over a year and hasn't ran it yet. Its always a issue why he can't. Now he claims will run when he gets axles.

My wife works for GM. Reason the camaro is out selling the mustang now is cause of the convertible. Least that is what they told them in their meetings. Said it is selling like fire.

I understand when someone has a nice, stock, fast car like a vette and doesn't race it, but when you start modding it, talking ****, and than don't race it you turn into a douche

I would have tried to talk him into a roll race from say maybe 30mph..that way he would'nt snap his poor lil axles lol...yeah sounds like an excuse to me..if he had the $$ to make 660 RWHP..he had a couple extra hundred for axles ..i'm sure you knew this already ..just saying..
and is there any real proof of the 600+hp 2013 GT500??..i mean..i have heard plenty of rumors but i looked around on youtbe..(better search engine than google sometimes lol) and could'nt find anything on it..if you know of any official statements by Ford or anything along those lines i would like to read them or whatever
and yeah the guy with the new SS who had bolt ons AND a S/C and he only ran 12.8!! LOL..wow..he needs driver mod bad..those cars run that easily stock..hell you would think with a S/C LS3 he would accidently run atleast a 11.9..sheesh

I dunno man...they're already faster than both the 5.0 and LS3 stock. They respond like crazy to small shots of N20. That 392 is going to make crazy power with heads/cam for sure. I think it could be like the olden days where those heavy Mopars with their big engines were cleaning house with their Ford/Chevy rivals.

With H/C's they will wake up some more. But as mentioned their weak point is going to be that 2 ton weight. As nice as they are people are not going to want to take stuff out them like they will a mustang or camaro since they both offer base models where the SRT8 doesn't.

How faster then 5.0/ls3? The fastest one is 12.3 stock. 5.0 has 12.2 for manual ad 12.3 for auto. The LS3 is 12.5. A lot them are going mid 12s to high 12s just like the 5.0/LS3 stock.
