New 500+ HP Stang that is out should fix the HP problem with the current GM LS3- that is if GM has the money to play on the same field as Ford, we will see https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Phil - I forgot to tell you - GM is considering additional stripe packages for the 5th gen. I've been told these LS3 engines are getting 480hp with only the GMPP hotcam and free flowing exhaust installed. Add a Paxton and you'll be hauling and still have plenty of money left in your pocket compared to buying a 500 hp Mustang.

Re: Drove the new Camaro today!
 
I had the opportunity to drive the base and SS models at Bondurant in Phoenix in mid January. We drove 6 speed as well as automatic versions of both cars. The base seemed just like a car. I liked the SS and have a convertible on order. I like the idea of a drop top that is more roomy and comfortable with good performance as an alternative to my c6. The performance was good, but if I were goin racin for pink slips I would take my c6. After testing the camaros Bob Bondurant took each of us on hot laps in the ZR1. Now that is a performance car!!!!! I guess I am getting old, but I preferred the automatic over the 6 speed.

These cars should have been out over a year ago and they wouldnt be in this mess https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
From the dealers to the mod builders to the aftermarket people and so on !! This car would have been making money for a lot of people in the business.. Still cant figure out why it is still taking this long.. Pull all your sources months ago and build them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

From the sound of that video the exhaust sounds like crap, kinda like a corn popper. I guess after you buy the car have to spend more $$ and get a custom exhaust put on it?
I personally dont think what GM puts out on the street looks all that great I think its ugly. I might have a different say when Nickey gets one and makes it into a real car that has yet to be seen.

It sounded like a Mopar starting up. Why does the starter sound like that?
