I have been a Camaro fan for a LONG time. But if I had the $$$ I would have all 3 lol.
But the 5.0(almost 5.1 now!) DI and port injection combo works very well. Lot of mid and upper pulling power. Hopefully GM will jump on board and use the dual injection technology from the LT5. With more compression and slightly revamped cam shaft the 6.2 would be a best. It already has lots of low end power. |

I see where they got their design inspiration. Wonder what kind of bait their partial to?

The old time drag racers turned their round gauges so that a good reading was at the 12 O'clock position. That was easiest to read at a glance. Temp, oil pressure, volts RPM all good. I think the port injection is a nod to old school method to help with the problem of carbon building up on the back of the valves. The detergent in good gas helps keep that clean, IF there is gas squirted on it e.g. with port injection. If the gas is only in the combustion chamber with direct injection, not so much. That's kept me from buying a direct injection gas engine so I'm happy for this small step backwards DI PI combo to make it better. |

Slowest time I have seen for an 18 GT by far.

Seems it was more like Ford baiting Chevy with their '64 Mustang to make their own pony car. Which they did ... three years later. Quote:

There have been a few Mustangs I like, but not the latest version, just as I don’t like the current Camaro. Either way, the two of them constantly one-upping each other benefits all of us. |
