Drove the new Camaro today!

[CC Rider]

Glad to see they're hitting the streets.

Thanks.

I would think weight plays a big factor in the "snap" a car has:

New Camaro = 3800 Lb

01-04 Z06 = 3100 Lb

I would love to have another Z06!

Hylton, it felt very similar to my old LS1 which had a very civilized feel compared to my LS6 cars. I think it will need a tune and an exhaust to really wake the car up. I'll be picking one up too!

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

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.

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.

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