Retailers will be given all the details on the Camaro at that time and according to a source, "real orders for real cars" will begin being accepted.

hmmm...i think it'll for sure be under 4000lbs, it will be in the 3800-3900lb range.

As for the the V8 i think 375 for the base model is pretty much what i'm expecting. I think there will only be one V8 option for now until the supercharged version rolls out with like 500hp.

The V6 should be somewhere around the 250hp range. It be nice to take out GTs with the V6 model but i just don't see GM doing it.

So you say under on the weight and under on the V6 power.

it looks bad ass!! so im still getting it:devil: I HOPE lol.

You really think the V8 Camaro will be rated at less HP than the G8 GXP that will have a detuned(under rated) LS3 @ 402HP? Weight will prob be under 4k but prob real close to the 04-06 GTO weight 3700+(which is over 4k with me in it)... And isn't the V6 supposed to be similar to the 300ish HP v6 in the CTS's?

It's not what I think, I'm just trying to get some (fake) betting action going. The line had to start somewhere.

I am tired of guessing for 2 years now. I am more concerned about price..If the Challenger is 41K & marked up 5-10 grand or in some cases 80k, Can we expect the Camaro to be 31K like everyone thinks???

WS6_Suicide_Machine 07-11-2008 09:51 PM

did you say 4000lbs!!!!!!!!!!!

whats with all the new cars weighing so much????

a 4th gen with $1,500 in it will be faster.... sad, just plain sad

They did a great job with the G8 pricing wise, so let's hope it's affordable too.

I believe all the extra weight comes form all of the safety gear that is mandatory to put in all new vehicles.

myfast70 07-12-2008 01:40 AM

I sure hope the car will be worth the long wait and all of the hype. It seems like the Challenger got a later start and is already being sold. Damn GM.

i dont think so. they still only require driver and passenger airbags and seatbelts :lol: i bet its from the bigger wheels, lots of cheaper metal stamped parts

N01SS 07-12-2008 06:54 AM

My guess...

300hp V6 base 3700lbs starting at 24k

430hp LS3 SS 3850lbs starting at 29k

550hp very limited edition Z/28 4100lbs 42k sticker price plus GT500 style markup

I agree cuz for ford said they will have that eco tech ttv6 which is at 300hp
and the gt is suposed to come with close to the same hp

eddielb 07-12-2008 01:12 PM

if the last gto had 400 I dont see the camaro having less than 400 HP for the STANDARD v8 model, the v6 hopefuly somewhere eitehr at cts level or maybe a little less/more (300 hp) and top of the line probably 500 hp
