PWA Relapse
|
I don't know if anybody has posted this, but heres a youtube video of a 2008 CTS with the LLT being taken around a race track. The driver's speech annoyed me a bit, but you can hear the engine pretty well - and, one must assume that the sound dampening in the camaro wouldn't be as good as that in a caddy. Now just put some flowmasters on it, and maybe a dual exhaust kit...

Winding Road Comments
Somewhat interesting comments and now we're "Hotshots" and "Fan-boys"
SOURCE:http://news.windingroad.com/body-sty...os-v-6-engine/ Reader Annie just made our afternoon by tipping in with some under-the-hood images of what would appear to be the V-6 powered 2010 Chevrolet Camaro from the hotshots at Camaro5.com. By all accounts the V-6 in question looks to be a 3.6-liter unit, likely equipped with direct injection technology identifiable by the telling “hump” at the back of the motor, as well as the vacuum tube entering the manifold. If DI is indeed the case, output figures of around 300 horsepower wouldn’t be at all shocking for the base Camaro. A new standard-setter for entry-level pony sports cars? Early returns look good.

But come-on, a few of the things stated in this thread related to comparing the v6 DI Camaro to other existing cars currently on the market are a bit over the top. Like the quote above from Team Monte Carlo, for example. In response... Ford is rumored to have a 300hp v-6 (probably a turbo) in the 2010-2011 timeframe and a 400hp base direct injected v-8 around the same time. Sure, these are mere rumors and not written in stone as much as said Camaro offerings for the 2010 rebirth. Finally, I'll restress that this is the "rebirth" of the Camaro. Lest you all need reminding, the "mere" 260 hp Mustang v6 and the "mere" 300hp Mustang GT v8 is still 260 and 300 HP more that ANY 2005 thru 2009 Camaro. You must agree that the continued support (sales, general public and aftermarket) for the Mustang has to have something to do with the rebirth of both the Challenger and Camaro. Had the Mustang also gone by the wayside as did the Camaro, I doubt the Camaro (or the Challenger) would be coming back as new 2009 and 2010 models. Again, I look forward to the new Camaro, even if it only raises the bar of the performance stage for Ford, Pontiac, Mopar, etc. Horray for HP wars!! |

210...actually. The mustang has a 210hp V6. Just thought I'd point it out.

OK, I'll eat crow for that one . I honestly don't give a rat's hind end about the current Mustang V-6 so I'll admit to not verifying the v6 output before posting.

Oh, and just to poke some fun, if it hadn't been for the fact that the Mustang...through all it's improvements, still was just a cheap (but aesthetically pleasing) car with 200 stupid body-kit models to choose from...then the Camaro and Challenger release wouldn't be so harolded. Look ma, these pony cars will actually perform! Quote:
