I got to autocross and test the new Camaro in V6 and SS V8 versions when they first came out and all I can say is that the car wasn't what I was hoping for. Before I bought my C63 I was VERY interested in the new Camaro. At the time I had a 1969 SS and thought having a classic and new SS would be the way to go. There are blind spots everywhere, the brakes were weak, the steering felt almost wooden, suspension was way too soft in which you can really feel in turns. The biggest disapointment was that for 120+ more hp in the SS V8, my times were .5 seconds apart from the V6. I think with some mods the V6 version would be a way better way to go. After the test, I aborted any idea of getting one.

I can't stand them. They just look like they are "trying too hard."

35K for a 420HP 0-60 in 4.8 and a 12.9 in the 1/4.

Not bad at all.

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
Probably more like 5.x seconds. Auto manufacturers love to use "rolling" 0-60 times.

I'm not even going to lie.. the Camaro is actually a good looking car; exterior wise at least.. I'm not sure about the interior.. I haven't sat in one.

Ohhh.. very hot for sure. 100% got it right. The Challenger is problem the best looking retro car ive ever seen. Amazing how good it looks.

Unless the Camaro weighs more than the 04 CTSV it is sub 5 sec 0-60 in a manual. LS3 is a beast.


Drop a super charger in and your looking at at sub 60K 12 second car

Even cheaper. 41K gets you this:

Thats a lot of bang for your buck.

I gotta agree. The Challenger inside and out is a a hot looking car and looks pretty damn close to the orginal, but the performance is weak sauce for the price.
