O.k. i know it's just speculation at this point, but i would like everyone's best guess or at least hopes for the following times on a base model V8:

0-60
1/4 mile & mph
top speed


thanks

 

[OctaneZ28]

At this point, I'm speculating that the base V8 will be the LS3 since the 2008 Corvette has it.
Corvette will be a low-12 second car, so Camaro will probably be a mid-12 second car.

Just my guess.

 

[Doug 97SS]

My guess.

0-60 = High 4's low 5's
1/4 Mile = High 12's low 13's.
Top Speed = 165mph

These are the numbers I predict will be advertised.

 

[Chris 96 WS6]

I don't think 165 will be doable, as this car is not going to be as slippery as the 4th gen was. More HP, yes, but that front end is like a wall IMO.

Mid 12's quarter mile should be doable though.

With a good driver and track a stock, heavy, skinny tired, 2006 GTO can do:

0-60 in 4.6 seconds
1/4 mile in 12.9 seconds
top speed over 170 mph with the speed governor removed.


2009 Camaro guess:

0-60 in 4.5 seconds
1/4 mile in 12.7 seconds
top speed of 165 computer limited

i hope its faster then challenger! thats all i care about!

 

[USA1Camaro]

i hope its faster then challenger! thats all i care about!

Amen to that!

Faster and cheaper...

Not going to be a problem give how fat and bloated the challenger is going to be.

Bob Lutz said the new Camaro will get enough HP to take care of the Challenger and the Mustang so have faith.:bowdown:

0-60 in 4.5 s
1/4 mile in 12.6
Top Speed @ 187.

 

[Big Phil]

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

I'm guessing:

0-60 should be low 4's

1/4mile will be mid to high 12's

Top speed will probably be around 170.

 

[Naute]

well the stock ls6 did low 11's ( given right track and good driver) Atco Raceway had a 10.9 sec stock Z06 ( besides radials ) but the Camaro should def be low - mid 12's. But be advertised as a mid to high 12 sec car.

2009 Camaro guess:

0-60 in 4.5 seconds
1/4 mile in 12.7 seconds
top speed of 165 computer limited

I guess I should mention that this is with a 400-425 hp engine option and stock tires (might want to lower the air pressure).

I'll punt some 500hp numbers around make a guestimate later.

hmmm i dunno if camaro will take care of the challenger as many of you may think.....but if camaro is comming out after the challenger most likly gm is going to make it faster....cause when i buy one i dont really wanna mod it intell paid off

 

[garfin]

Heh, heh... I'm sure most will remember the "virtual" comparo that Motor Trend did a while back with 3 different versions of the Camaro and Mustang doing battle...

... a lot of fluff but it makes for some fun reading.

Best regardSS,

What's Chisler's performance numbers for the Challenger?

 

[gavin]

What's Chisler's performance numbers for the Challenger?

im pretty sure chargers do 4.6-4.7 0-60... and if a challenger is smaller then a charger eek

 

[Chris 96 WS6]

I doubt the challenger will be "smaller". A tad shorter maybe but they're going to be pigs.

 

[A RUSSH]

All I know is that my brother will be one of the first people to own a challenger in this city and my 5th gen
better be able to beat it or family gatherings after that grudge match are gonna be mighty tedious :BangHead:
