Did the SS just get another horsepower rating increase??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

FirstLSK · 03-11-2009, 02:59 PM

I just received a detailed GM AutoBook spec sheet for my order. There are tons of great details but one that grabbed my attention was in the powertrain specs. So, do you think this is a typo or do you think it may become official?

If true, then yes. Was 426HP (one above the Chally SRT8

)

I almost posted this today as well. My dealer just emailed me this PDF 2 hrs ago.

Oh, FirstLSK your from Dallas, did you get this from Classic? haha. Toby emailed this to me this afternoon.

Back to the original question though?? I don't know

FirstLSK · 03-11-2009, 03:05 PM

Yep got it from Toby I hope it turns into stone fact.

Douge · 03-11-2009, 03:09 PM

Wow, that is the kind of update I would like to get.

PQ · 03-11-2009, 03:09 PM

Wonder if the L99 gets 404 rather than 400. lol

TJ91 · 03-11-2009, 03:11 PM

Well doesnt the vette advertise 430? maybe they never detuned at all.

Crowley · 03-11-2009, 03:12 PM

Those are the numbers for the vette with normal exhaust .. I'm going to say it is a typo as I thought the 426 number was the SAE Certified number ..

Those are LS3 Corvette numbers...

Horsepower430 @ 5900Torque (lb-ft)424 @ 4600

Horsepower436 @ 5900 with NPP exhaust option

fcu678 · 03-11-2009, 03:20 PM

MSN Auto has an article about 3 modern muscle cars today the Camaro, Challenger and Mustang. It allows you to price each car out with options and it also has the Camaro hp rated at 430.

So glad I ordered the LS3. It looks like it'll have identical horsepower output with the Corvette.

Now if we could only get the new Camaro to go on a diet.

I'm not trying to deminish the post, because that is pretty cool it's making more power, but it's not that much more. Regardless, the more the better

Thank you for sharing

Hey, even if it's 4 HP, I'll take it. If you don't want yours, I'll take yours off your hands too.

I'd say we should expect 375-390 whp when people start putting stock LS3s on the dyno.

I like the new number better
