Camaro V6 vs. Evo X
The last SS Camaro vs 370Z thread proved quite informative and useful for shoppers in that $30k range. Next up I feel is Mitsubishi's "top dog" vs Chevy's lower entry.
I just wonder with similar HP how each car would stack up against each other? Evo X: 291 HP est 3,500 lbs ($30k) V6 Camaro: 300 HP est 3,700 lbs ($22k) How might they stack up vs each other? Drag strip? 0-60? . Last edited by 2010 SS; 01-09-2009 at 06:54 PM. |

I don't really know why you would compare the V6 Camaro to a car that costs more than the SS and the 370Z

Here is a comparison between the G8 GXP (SS powertrain) and the EVO.

Well I meant they are similar horsepower, semi-similar wieght and coming from this vehicle and moving towards the Camaro, it's an even competition and one hell of a savings.

You could say the same thing about the competitors of the ZR1. All exotics cost a lot, but the ZR1 costs a lot less. Cost doesn't determine performance, so we should keep that in mind when considering the competition.

Evo will destroy it, no doubt. These 2 cars are nothing alike anyways so there is no point in comparing!

Yes—there are a lot of cars that will beat the V6, but those wins won't be by a large amount. We're not talking about your average V6 here. The horsepower gap is evidence enough that the LLT will compete with, if not beat, any car between 200 and 350 hp. When I say that it will compete, I mean that it will steal buyers and perform on a comparable level. With light modification, the LLT will get ahead of many cars that will hand it defeat out of the factory. Being as responsive to mods as it is, we should be grateful that GMPP is supporting it with a few bolt-ons. Soon, we'll have aftermarket cam options, tunes, and other components. We already know that Pedders is building a GM-authorized suspension, and that forced induction will be in the works once companies get to play with it. The truth is that if you want to race other cars, the V6 is actually more competitive than the V8. The 400 ponies that the V8 boasts won't attract as much attention from potential opponents because they'll know that defeat is inevitable. People who want to race will race to win, and if you're driving an easily underestimated V6, then people will want to run you into the ground. How great will it feel to take a modified LS or LT and crush a 350Z. Can you imagine being 16-25 years old with steelies and a supercharger cruising to a stoplight when an Eclipse pulls up boasting a buzzing exhaust can and a subwoofer? If the V6 loses to 350Zs and Geneses, then it did what it was supposed to do: draw attention. If a modified one wins, it shows the durability and performance of a GM V6 and how superior the LLT's technology is to companies that have been "experts" at turbo I4s and V6s for decades.

the evo will put the v6 camaro to shame. however the ss camaro might put a fight against the evo. in a staight line...
after pricing both the camaro 2ss and evo x the evo came 7k cheaper than the ss. the camaro came with ss2 package, rs package, hurst shifter, rally stripes totaling 54,xxx$. while the evo full loaded with the recro package came to 47,xxx$. not sure how it works in the USA but in canada the camaro is stupid expensive. however my comments are a little bit bias, as im going to be getting myself a evo x.
