should work now.
don't see anything about 5th proto though?

2010_5thgen · 12-14-2007, 12:53 PM

so they think the 6.0 is the base v8??? i sure hope not.and i definately didnt see anythign about 5 prototypes. all i saw was CAMARO5.

[KRPT]ECP · 12-14-2007, 01:02 PM

I wouldn't bother listening to any engine specs until GM gives some official indication. we've been told time and time again that what we think we know about engines is probably wrong

big_bank5000 · 12-14-2007, 01:20 PM

yeah im just hoping what i think...GM is think 10x the engine im thinking of.

I live in Melbourne Australia where Holden is helping to developed the Camaro. Today driving along beach rd near the city i passed five prototype Camaros followed closely by a couple of current mustangs.They were obviously comparing the two. Hopefully the Camaro is a better car.

And signs seem to point to the L76 6.0L as the base V8. It makes sense, otherwise there is a power gap of over 100hp between the top V6 and the base V8. This is all based off of the current engines GM has availible, but we have been told to believe nothing we read about engines for the Camaro, so . . .

EllwynX · 12-14-2007, 02:45 PM

Well, 5 does make sense if you take into account that in the camo'd spy shots there are 3 parked in a row in one image, then 2 others parked beside the Mustangs. My guess would be they were all in the same parking lot at that time the pics were snapped.

Just because the one shot of them on the road only showed 3 doesn't mean there weren't more. The range would have been limited for the camera to catch all 5 if they were in a row.

Link was pulled.

It wouldn't suprised me if there were 5 or more cars running around.

Tran · 12-17-2007, 04:56 PM

We know from this pic that there's at least 4. Of course there could be even more prototypes driving in front of these cars or maybe somewhere else not testing at the same time.

*TAG UR IT* · 12-17-2007, 08:33 PM

With that pic, I can sure see what looks like 4!

*DGthe3* · 12-17-2007, 08:35 PM

Perhaps the 5th is right beside the camera, or possibly far ahead and thus cannot be seen
