My base Vibe can do 115, but the GT I believe can get up around 130.

My guess is the V6 will go 0-60 in about 5.3-5.5, base V8 (assume LS3) 4.5-4.8, and hi-po V8 (LSA) 4.0-4.3. I would also guess the V6 will be limited to 140-150, base V8 to 160, and top dog to be unrestricted and hit 175, similar to the Challenger SRT8.

Shouldn't you shift Camaro forwards a little? I mean by comparing the base V8's top speed to that of the SRT Challenger. Those will share the most similar power outputs...which puts the "Top Dog" Camaro in the upper 180s as far as speed is concerned.

I would think the v6 will have H rated tires to keep costs down so it will be limited to around 125.

2 second 0-60 and 750mph top speed in jet fighter/camaro hybrid mode.

I'm sure interested in what the coefficient of drag is on the car.

Yeah, there should be two vertical wings. In fact the only plane in use by the air force today that has a single verticle wing is the F-16.

theholycow · 06-25-2008, 02:41 PM

It was an F-15, but I couldn't fit the other tail on in a reasonable way.

I am the photoshop master, no?

OK, the old fart is back. May be 66 but still a kid at heart and want one ot the first new Camaros.
Now, I would still like to drive fast and oper it up, just like I did back in the late 50's and 60's. Back there there were no deer and damn few cops ever on the state roads in Indiana.
Now, deer everywhere, and cop out the ying yang. Yesterday I drove 12 miles on US 30 to a Wal Mart. Saw 2 state cops in the median going over and three coming back and they're riding motorcycles here and hiding now for the first time in years.
Years ago you got a couple of points off and a small fine. Now you can loose your licence for above 85.
And people ask me why I don't want a V-8. Answer, gas mileage and I couldn't keep my foot out of 400+ hp. Geno

the only comment i will make is....

im not sure who brought that stock SRT-8 Challenger from 0-60 in 4.5

but that falls under the same category as the 19 foot marlin i caught which i forgot to take a picture of.
