For all you "69" fans this is for you. I wanted to pay hommage to the car that was responsible for bringing the Camaro back.

Excellent!

I understand that you're trying to pay homage to the original...but...you...don't...have...a...350...?

Placing decoration on the car that makes it appear faster than it is in current form is

It's true though...
And besides. 350's were SS engines. I think a 302 emblem would have been more appropriate.

Nice effort though.

I sat here waiting for it to be said lol... yeah, your intentions were good, but misguided. Everybody is gonna ask if you have a 350, and the Camaro guys are gonna

Only thing is, this car will beat the original 350 car. So, not really rice, as those badges actually make the car appear slower..

Engine and displacement for comparison SS 350 cu. in. V8, 4-bbl. / 3.6-liter (217 cu. in.) (-38%)

Horsepower (SAE net) (1969 net figure estimated) 300 (gross)/200 (est. SAE net) - 304 (3.6 V6) (+50%)

0-60 mph: 7.5 sec* / 6.1**

Quarter mile: 15.4@90* / 14.2@98**

Top speed: 115* / 140**

To the OP, looks good. I don't know if I would do it, but it still looks as though they belong there.

svtjackal · 02-17-2010, 07:09 PM

looks cool but the V6 has only 217 Cubic inches

but it's your car and if you like it...

Can't let that go. What ???

Not Paid 4 · 02-17-2010, 07:20 PM

I researched it trying to find which engine of the day would have Horsepower closest to mine, and the 350 was rated between 290 and 300 Horsepower. The 302 was out and the SS in 2010 blows away the engines of 1969 in everyway (fuel economy, ect. ect.). Yes the "purests" will have a problem with it, but I don't care. Just trying to show the love for our older brothers. Enjoy.

esperman · 02-17-2010, 07:20 PM

I think it would be better if you could have some 217 badges or 24V DOHC or something else than a V8 badge. Maybe a 304 hp badge?

Why? Cause it ain't a V8 - 350 or 327 or 396. and those original emblems indicate engine size.

Lucky SOB · 02-17-2010, 07:33 PM

No no no... why not just put GT500 on it too?

No. Not feeling it. 350? I understand the reference, but it has nothing to do with your car.

This is the first time I've given a

to a Camaro mod. You need to make sure the info is accurate or you'll get accused of "ricing" your Camaro. As has already happened, and I can't blame 'em. Ouch.

:(
