Default smh @ chevy again

dodge is commin out with the 6.4 srt hemi. i try to fall back in love with chevys new **** but they never seem to figure it out... when youve had an 8 plus year HIGH-AYE-DUS how do you come out with a car that has less power than another car that has been out since 2005(the srts) the new camaros should have been in the 500 plus range...

looks like i might be getting another srt as the next new toy. 40k for the srt or 70 plus for the cts v... and the hemis look way better to me lol

I would agree, but how did ford manage to get the rustang so light? it doesnt need to weigh so much.

stay tuned forthe new Z28, its supposed to be 550hp and should cost way less than 70k.

I heard that chrsyler was lookign at using the 8L from the viper in the challenger since they are ****-canning the viper after this year. not sure why they would do a 6.4L hemi as well.

they are considering putting an 8 speed trans in the chargers and challys not a 8L. as far as that ford being light, dont let them fool you , im sure theyre faster because they have a supercharger hidden sumwhere. just without the noises the cobras make.... take the superchargers off any ford and what do you get ... a TURD

PS the 5.0 doesnt have a SC but the Shelby does. The Mustant also has a live rear axle which helps in being lighter than the Camaro and Challenger...

Both of which are based on sedan chassis....

Even with the 50hp bump the Challenger wont be impressive since its girth will still be holding it back...

I was initially excited about the new Z28 but then you have to remember that they're adding a SC and intercooler which will make the portly Camaro even heavier.

The good news? Rumors are indicating that the next Camaro will be based off of a smaller platform and will no longer be a full figured ...
