Most magazines are wrong most of the time when it comes to cars that aren't on lots yet. At the same time, I strongly believe that GM produced a ridiculously fast V6. I believe these numbers.

I wouldn't say most magazines are wrong most of the time in regards to non-production ready cars. In fact, I think they have much more right than wrong.

The car is a 300 horsepower car. I don't see why it can't do 155mph. Also, it's obvious they got their figures direct from a GM representative.

I'll give you this: it probably takes a little while to get to 155.

The experience of our site is that they are getting their Camaro information from a variety of sources, many of which are rumors. Other companies may be willing to give more data to these magazines, but GM is pretty tight-lipped about new cars. With all the buzz about the Camaro, they keep producing the same information with some facts and some serious mistakes.

You'll give me?

Yeah...it might take awhile to get to 155. Here nor there, it's a smokin fast 300hp V6. To me, that is awesome.

Just to clear things up...
I am in no way saying anything bad about the Camaro or its performance. My beef is with the fact that magazines tend to print things as "fact" when they have no proof. I would love it if the V6 was capable of 155, hell even 145...this car is going to be killer and I can't wait to see them on the road!

So, ....... basically what they're saying ... is that the 300hp V6 Camaro still will will not be able to outrun my Cobalt??? Don't ask me how I know ... but if it tops out completely at 155, the Cobalt will be dead even with it. Now, off the line is a different story, but tops, they'd be neck and neck...

Flame away

Cops in military towns have no tolerance for military solders. There is a lot of crap that they put up with from DUI, drugs, 5 finger discounts, rape ext. because you are in the military you are profiled whether you like it or not.

I would have told the cop. Look I was talking on my phone and last I check it was illegal to drive wile talking on the phone unless you have a hands free device. i just did not want to break any laws and get a ticket. So for you to assume that i was drinking and trying to sober up makes you look like an ass. If you thought I was under the influence you could have just came over and asked me while I was parked instead of pulling me over to find out if I was under the influence. Either way the result would be the same. being under the influence in the car with keys in hand or in the ignition Carry's the same penalty as if i was driving. So maybe you need to try to be a little more observant and up on your job instead of waisting every ones time and making your self look like a fool.
