I wonder if you need to replace the windsheild for all us 2010 guys who will try to install the hud.

I had HUD in my Grand Prix GTP years ago and it was AWESOME to have! I would love to retro my '10 to a HUD but the cost would probably be way over the top...sigh...:(

“The 304 horsepower in the 2010 Camaro was actually a conservative rating on our end,” said Tom Sutter, GM V-6 chief engineer. “But we knew already that this award-winning engine produced at least the amount of power we stated, but now we’ve gone the extra step in certifying the engine for this application and have verified an additional 8 horsepower.”
I don't believe they 'tweaked' anything, just using a different scale to measure the same output of the 2010. Granted this scale is likely the same the new Mustang is using, but it sounds like they are just measuring the power different and getting more market savy numbers rather than actually changing anything on the engine output. As far as HUD, at the price of this car, I think it's a big mistake. The Corvette (with Hud) has a very specific market. Most car enthusiasts that can spend that much moeny for a car are likely more adept to handle such a distracting mod and drive fine. The general public, which is who the Camaro prices attract, will be easily distracted and pay too much attention to the HUD info, as compared to the road. Pilot's of aircraft that use HUD say there is a 'getting used to' period where they have to train themselves to look through the HUD and use the info, but at the same time, see surrounding environment. The typical driver on the road today can barely coordinate carrying a conversation using a hands free on a cellphone safely behind the wheel, now they'll have HUD to work with ??? Keep the HUD for the 2SS ONLY. That caliber buyer will be like the a Corvette buyer and more a car enthusiast that, majority anyway, can handle such a mod.

Honestly, it's not that big of a deal.
If you race, you're not going to stay stock anyway. If you don't, it's still a great car and stands out in a sea of Stangs. I love my Camaro! |

The scale for how they rate hp under SAE is always the same. They didn't decide to come up with numbers from a different "scale".

It does however prove that you can still underrate cars with the new SAE ratings.

Nevertheless...the Camaro team will NOT settle for "second"...but did you seriously expect them to counter the Mustang in 6 months? Less, even....things take time...especially when it comes to cars. |

If they "verified" the V6 at 312hp does that mean the2010 V6 is already at 312hp?
