And what I'm doing here is payback for all the little Mullets who come on OUR forums and run their mouths. Honestly first you run your mouths. Then the Terminator comes and you complain about a blower. Now this comes and you all say "wait till they throw Corvette parts in 2011". You should probably stop running your mouths.
And if you can't then I'm pretty sure the 5.0 is here to shut you all up.

Actually no. It ran a 12.9 as well in motor trend (they even say so in the article LOL). it also ran a 13.0 at edmunds just like the mustang did.
All with the same trap speeds in all tests (AKA same speed/power in a roll race)
So like I said you are bragging for nothing. We had a reason to brag before...we were spanking that little 4.6 by over a half second son. Now you are nutting over one test that shows a .1 tenth difference with the same trap speed. You make me laugh
And yes it may respond decent to mods...but you have to be crazy to think it will respond like the LS3 will...the 5.0 is all ready close to 100hp per liter....if you know anything about cars you would realize it is far closer to being tapped out than the camaro. Not to mention it has a better exhaust from the factory as well as a CAI.
Do you really think it is a secret to make 412 hp out of 5.0? or that gm can only get 426 hp out of a 6.2?
They have something called GAS MILEAGE to worry about. GM chooses to use a 6.2 because it can make solid power being corked up a bit and still have good mileage. Then when you decide to do mods you have A LOT left in the tank....un-like your 5.0....SON.
Answer me this...do you really tell yourself the new mustang would hang with the new camaro both having bolt ons and a CAM?
This 5.0 may not even be worth a damn supercharged...it has a very high compression ratio.
So again...what exactly are you bragging about.... The .1 tenth difference they got from the camaro ss in the motor trend test (that was on a different day mind you)....the same EXACT time they got at edmunds?....or is it the same trap speeds they got in all the tests?....maybe the mod ability that you know nothing about?
As far as the terminator...yes it had a blower and it was a cobra.....wasnt even in the same price range...I could have cared less back then. But you guys bring it up like its your lone defender because thats all you had
And we are the ones who say wait till next year ROFLMAO...thats all you guys ever say! We say it now because you dont even know what the 2011 camaro has....is it not fair to at least compare year to year? cmon now
Get a life and do your homework.
