And it looks like, due to the fact that the actual performance of the V6 version did not change, just the horsepower rating, that it will be the only time that the base Camaro passes the base Mustang.

I'm going with 505hp stickers and throw a turbo on........

CamaroScotty · 04-08-2010, 12:20 PM

ron10 · 04-08-2010, 12:25 PM

devildoc · 04-08-2010, 12:29 PM

We put 312 on the car and the next thing you know you WILL have people assuming its the new Mustang 5.0

BaylorCamaro · 04-08-2010, 12:31 PM

Yeah it looks like we have 312hp engines! Also didn't they say the tq is around 278 now? However that means our drivetrain loss is even worse..

Good thing I've moded my car, it has prevented me from doing this lol.

sasquash1984 · 04-08-2010, 12:49 PM

so if we have 312 at the crank and only getting between 230 and 260 rwhp thats a huge hit

yup.....

By reading the article i don't think they changed anything. They had the motor SAE certified. The motor was not SAE certified and was simply rated at 304 because they "knew already that this award-winning engine produced at least the amount of power we stated" and that 304hp "was actually a conservative rating on our end."

Blade · 04-08-2010, 01:01 PM

They hired Vince Geglia from Trifecta....

scrming · 04-08-2010, 01:12 PM

Wife's Acadia has the same motor and it's rated at like 272 HP... LOL
