They all read March of 2012, so they must be available now or very soon.

Great reads though.

I am going to wait a year or so to get mine though....

The Car and Driver test sheet indicates 720 miles on the odometer. That car will be significantly faster after a few thousand miles are put on it.

Scott, you and Team Camaro should be plenty proud to have the patience to build and test this beast. All honor to your Team !!!!!

I suspect TG US might get it but TG UK won't as the car won't be sold here (according to Chevrolet).

We're still waiting on the SS (the only model we are getting).

The water pump for the supercharger's air-to-liquid intercooler is plucked from a less likely donor: that bastion of efficiency, the Volt. No matter how many Volts are ever sold, consider that car's R&D cost justified.

Fixed

LOVE the product coming out from GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Competition is great, and I'm so excited to see what is around the corner from all our american car companies.

Did hell freeze over or did MT just say they liked a Camaro better than a Mustang? Granted, they had to put the parting shot about the 2013 Shelby in there to keep the Fordies from going into full cardiac arrest, but still. MT must be tired of Chevy owners cancelling subscriptions. I myself gave up on them after they tested a track-modified Genesis with a stock V6 Camaro and had the balls to say the rice-burner was better with a straight face. Its nice to see them be honest for once.

TG UK does enough US-based shows now that I wouldn't be surprised to see them give it a spin. Maybe not with the STIG at Dunsfold, but maybe in one of those road-trip specials they like to do. TG US will probably get one eventually, though with advertising concerns, they're typically not as critical as TG UK is (though Tanner did fairly criticize the Boss 302 in one episode).

Sucks for times but with those temps the car will be making more hp. There fore the times will suck but the MPH will be better than what will be normal/average. This is if it was at or near sea level.

Atleast mid 11's. With a 1.5 sixty foot my car runs mid 11's @ 117. If this car can get a 1.5 short time @ 119 expect times to be around 11.2-11.5.
