2009 Camaro / C5 Corvette performance comparison
Hi,
Do you think the 2009 Camaro will out perform the 1997 -2004 base corvette?
Top speed : 175 mph(coupe), 162 mph(convertible)
0-60 mph : 4.9 sec.(manual), 5.3 sec.(auto)
0-¼ mile : 13.6 sec @ 107.3 mph
60-0 braking distance : 125 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.92 g
I am assuming the Camaro will out perform the 2006 GTO. But I am not sure by how much.
Specifications for the Pontiac GTO Basic Specs
Body style: Coupe
Seating capacity: 4
Engine: 6.0L V-8 16 valve OHV SMPI
Engine horsepower: 400hp @ 5,200RPM
Engine torque: 400 lb.-ft. @ 4,000RPM
Transmission: 6 speed manual
Drivetrains: rear-wheel
Curb weight: 3,725lbs (1,690kg)
Miles per gallon (city/hwy): 16/21 Performance Specs
0-60 mph: 5.3 seconds
Lateral acceleration (g): .9
Max. towing capacity when properly equipped: 1,000lbs (454kg)
Power-to-weight ratio: 9.3 lb/hp
I am hoping for 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds and a skid pad of at least .91 G. But it would be even better of the Camaro out performed a Base C5 Corvette.
