saddler116 · 02-25-2012, 11:04 PM

Anyone have an idea or website that shows the official time for the Camaro v6 manual? Please help!

I could be wrong but I think it's 6 seconds if you shift right and so on

hightower · 02-25-2012, 11:15 PM

yep, 6.1 seconds give or take depending on your driving skill.

"Initial performance numbers from Chevy indicate that the V-6 Camaro will move from 0-to-60 in 6.1 sec., although they're aiming to get it to 5.9 or so. The quarter mile comes in roughly 14.2 sec. at 98 mph"

And yes that's the 2010 camaro. I doubt the 2012 suspension change affects that much.

Download the app carbuzz if you have an apple product. they have they specs on just about any car you can think of.

Suspension is the same on the 2012 V6's (SS gets the new FE4 suspension), but the LFX V6 engine makes 11 hp more than the LLT in the 2010s & '11s.

The 2012's might be a bit quicker than the older cars, but I wouldn't expect anymore than a tenth in the 1/4 so 0-60 should be more or less the same.

Since your driving an LS with heavier rims and less sticky tires its hard to say exactly what your car is capable off, but the 2010 auto RS has been tested to do 6 seconds stock and the 2010 synergy with 19" Pirellis has done a 5.6 stock (per Motortrend).

With a perfect run, you might be able to get a tad below 6.

Ohhhh, ok gotcha. Thanks for the new info!

I think you're right, it probably has a small edge over the 2010 and 2011s.

According to the wiki, the 2012 lost 20lbs too.

BlueSteele · 02-26-2012, 08:49 PM

Has anyone done a comparison to see if the 2012 LFX is faster than the LLT stock vs. stock? I know the torque hasn't changed but just wondering if there is any increase in performance?

Peak torque is the same, but the LFX has a bit broader torque curve and hits its peak a little bit sooner (4800 rpm vs 5200 I think). So it makes a little more power from mid-range all the way up to its redline

I'm curious I have a 2013 LS with the 20" wheels and 1.25 lowering springs would any of those things makes a difference?

18s are lighter generally so 20s are slower. The alloy 20s would be better than 18 ls steelies but if u had 18 in alloys you would go faster. Lowering would help cut a cleaner path through the air. All super fast cars are low to the ground. A raised car is less aerodynamic

I weighed the 18" steel wheels, tire and rim 63 lbs.

I thought the LLT made 304 horsepower, and the LFX makes 323 (or at least my 2013 does)? If so that's a 19 horsepower increase...
