a good run on a 2010 gt is 13.3 a good run on a camaro ss is 12.8 that is a 0.500 difference, just like 12.8 to 12.3 is an 0.500 difference so basically the difference in the camaro to a gt isnt as big as it should be.....

Obviously you don't see the logic in my post. Poor guy.

If you read through my posts, I'm a fan of the new camaro. I actually don't like the 2010 mustang gt. Chevy has hit a home run. Great performance for the price tag and great styling cues. But to compare a 2010 Camaro to 2010 GT500 is really reaching. Then a "camaro fanboy Mrcowboy" making a comment about a hennessey camaro, being fair. lol. At least I'm not making things up to argue a point.

Didnt read your saga old friend, just commenting on the newest in the Mustang infestation. Im sure you (like all the others) LOVE the camaro.


And I agree with you completely as far as the comparison goes.

There are tons of mustang guys arguing and making their own points. But at the end of the day the latest mustang gt isn't up to snuff for the current market of muscle cars. I'm a mustang guy!!

Everyone can argue bang for the buck and such. Honestly, money isn't the end of say all either, neither is performance. So to each their own.

Back on the thread subject. Some people really need to educate them selves on both cars. GT500 is a car that would beat a Camaro ss, end of story. Just depends on how deep your pockets are. Just like a new z06 would be a gt500, etc. Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go..and do you want to go fast looking good in comfort or in a pile of rattling plastic.

One has 376 cubic inches and 10.7:1 compression ratio, the other has 331 cid and 8.4:1 C.R. Ford chose to take the smaller CID/forced induction path and GM elected to take the bigger displacement/higher compression route to get to their respective power levels. One is not superior to another, just different.

In the 250 miles I've driven it this week, I am extermely pleased. It is significantly better, IMHO, than the '07-'09 GT500's in almost every way.

Man I know you are. The 2010 GT500 made all the right moves.

Hoping to get in a Camaro this weekend and see what it got. Should be interesting. It has upgrades on the way, but I am a bit concern about the driveline. Guess we will see what happens.

Out of all the new Camaros that have Maggies on them so far - how many have had drivetrain problems? Zero - I think. I agree that the CamaroSS is slower than the GT500. The GT500 is a beast of a car, no doubt. I like the looks of them myself but I like the Camaro a little better. Thats why I went the LPE route. After it is all said and done I got the car, suspension, exhaust and LPE out the door for less than $50k. Now, does it have forged internals? No. Does it need it for 530 - 550 rwhp? I doubt it... Most tuners arent doing it at this level - they must know something. Now when you get over 600rwhp, then maybe.
There is no doubt to me that the GT500 is a good value for what you get. Will I like my LPE Camaro even more - probably!!!!

Yea if I had a lower vin SS I would be nervous about that tailshaft issue. Probably would just get a 2011 and hope all the issues have been worked out.

So 1 had a problem with the shaft that others are having a problem with as well. Looks like it was covered under warranty because of all the other issues. From all the other posts, it looks like there are quite a few non supercharged cars this is happening to as well. I am sure the extra hp didn't help but everything will be ok.

wow. Some people shouldn't make comments, makes the camaro fan base look uneducated.

Bro, talk about uneducated ... $70k for HPE? C'mon, do your research before you look so "uneducated"

(FYI... a stock 1SS MSRP $30,245 + HPE550 installed is $14,950 or LPE570 is $10,995 = $45,195 or $41,240 for LPE)

There is no comparison, not even on the same level, not even close to the same level. Period. Drive one and I guarantee there wouldn't be posts like this lasting 10 pages with over 4500 views.

Listen, this is your opinion and you're entitled to it. On the contrary, after my good friend drove my 2010 SS, he is now considering trading in his 2010 GT500. Have you even a driven a 2010 SS? I drove my friend's 2010 GT500 and it is a good car, but I still like my Camaro SS better. Regardless, it's what you like, not anyone else.

Please don't take this as a smartass question, but what about the Camaro made your friend want to switch cars? I have driven both, and while I am a fan of the new Camaro's, I'd be really interested to know what it is that your friend felt the 2010 GT500 lacked that he would gain by buying a SS.

Good question.
