Camaro V6 vs. Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Looking for insight on how a Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Which is a V6 @ 3.8L) can put out 450HP Naturally Aspirated...but the Camaro V6 can only put out 312HP (2012's are doing 320HP)?
Could it be possible for a Camaro V6 to be modded to reach anywhere near that type of horespower Naturally Aspirated??? Is 400HP in mods expecting too much out of the Camaros LLT?

The GT3 RS is more than just an engine,...its the whole package. The setup of the car is what accounts for its great performance. Its suspension and weight are a big plus.

I love high revving motors. I wonder what would need to be done to turn a L99 into a high revving V8. I wouldn't mind a 9k RPM limit. :0)

the engine is a flat 6. so the "vee angle" is 180 degrees. here's some stuff for you to read up on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-6 the one of the advantagse of a flat 6 is that the engine is naturally balanced which allows it to safely have that 8k+ rpm redline, compared to the ~7k Redline of the camaro V6. |
