No one knows much about anything right now. sorry! if you search this site you'll find out quite a bit but there is still some info that isn't out from GM just yet. Welcome to the site though!

I'd love a Camaro with 200hp so the Taxes are affordable, but It's a muscle car so thats not going to happen :P

SSMUFF · 08-21-2007, 11:11 AM

v6 berlinetta the 220hp range
v6 rs 300hp
v8 z28 375hp
v8 ss 450hp

that's about what i would say, +/- 25 hp. You will be able to get a camaro with under 400 hp, and possibly even a v8 with under 400.

A camaro in the 200 hp range would be awesome.

I actually would be surprised if it showed up in Europe at all. Has GM said they plan to market it there as well?

AirGoya · 08-21-2007, 03:27 PM

probably a v6 around 270hp and then a v6 with around 300hp

Yes. It's, at least, hitting us. The rest of Europe? Who knows - can't see why not.

The Camaro Coupe's had 200hp from the late 90's up 'til the 2002 model. I doubt the new Camaro will have an hp # that low 7 years later.

Your probably looking at a 250-260 hp V6 as the base model.

It's been reported by GM, more specifically; Bob Lutz, that there will have to be a Fuel Efficient V6, a sporty V6, and (this is where memory gets cloudy) a few V8's? or just 1, I don't remember that part

Go figure.

I must respectfully disagree. GM would never be able to market and sell enough 200hp Camaros to ever make it worth their while. IF, and that's a big IF, they make two V6's, I'd say to look for a V6 around the 260hp mark and another at or just over 300hp.

I've heard the (2) V6 comment a few times now and curious what the demand would be for (2) that close in hp? I know it's 40 difference, but would there be a insurance savings? And if you were looking at (2) identical cars, same options, how many would take the lesser? Probably not many I'm thinking without salesman intervention needing to move inventory.

*Mindz* · 08-22-2007, 09:07 PM

Why do you want a muscle car with no muscle? I don't mean to sound rude, but why not buy a lighter car with less hp. You'll save money on the actual price of the car and on insurance. In America we focus on raw horsepower to quote a European tv show host, so why would they design something with hardly any power what so ever? My 4 cylinder almost has that much power.
