Hmm true can't beat the MPG it gets over a V8. The MPG in both of my 2011 V6 and 2010 V8 were similar, but the 2013 V6 I drove a few times got way better. Just shows how much better the LFX is over the LLT. Manual isn't too bad in traffic after you get the hang of it. But auto definitely makes it easier with the craziness of the traffic right now on the interstates in Memphis.

incoming! now to see if I like the new Camaros or not. can't wait to see it

Thanks Sarah. Was just commenting the other day how I find it odd we've seen nothing. I know Ford just released their new Mustang specs today (very disappointing) and it looks like they are waiting on the new Camaro.

Kind of excited. Does look like an evolution of the current body style too. The front end looks like a ZL1 style front fascia too.

I did see those Ford specs and they are disappointing for sure. Only a 15 hp gain (at the crank...) and it gained weight....and it's going to have independent rear suspension....sounds to me like it won't even be as good a drag car as the 2012-2014's are...

My reaction to the specs: "So the v6 will be slower, the eco will be faster than the v6's, and the 5.0 is pretty much the same"

after looking at the pictures I can't tell much of anything. there's some padding on the doors and a lot of padding under the trash bag covers up front. as others have said there is probably some padding on the trunk too so they can throw off the people on the true shape of the car. for all we know its a padded up 5th gen with the new 6th gen engine in it to see how to engine does on the track.

GoldCartridgeGamer · 07-17-2014, 04:04 PM

That's very true Sarah!

KC Camaro · 07-17-2014, 04:27 PM

Haven't read it yet, but did the article about the 6th Gen mention probable engine options for the Camaro. I know GM hasn't gotten on the turbo boost/Exoboost bandwagon like Ford. I kindof hope they don't offer a turbo 4 in the Camaro.

SNSSTR · 07-17-2014, 04:35 PM

Roll call for the cruise in tonight, who's going?

I haven't seen anything on the new engines. I hope they stay away from the 4's also. that should remain in sedans/ family cars not a Muscle car. but that is my view on it.

SNSSTR · 07-17-2014, 04:54 PM

Come on whats wrong with a turbo 4? I'd love to put a fart can and a huge blowoff valve on it...sound just like a civic rolling up!

And I will probably be there around 6:00-6:30 myself.

KC Camaro · 07-17-2014, 04:59 PM

I think they'll hear you coming Greg.

Y'all try to park together tonight and show those Mustangs what's up!
