2010 camaro v6 put out almost as much as the 2010 mustang GT. They upped the ante this year on the mustangs and we're back in the late 60s again.... woot :D

The Camaro ZL1 will be on the order list last quarter or so of this year.... 550+ hp and suspension goodies galore. It will be closely followed by the new Z-28.

It sure makes for some good talking at the meets.

2 years ago, the gt's had only those anemic 4.6 liters. they can be good engines, but they're not from the factory.

 i'm not sure which 6 cylinder engine they had in em 2 years ago....but i think it was the 4 liter.
here's an article on the new v-6....
http://www.allfordmustangs.com/articles/2011-ford-mustang-v6-economy-power-dohc-1278.shtml

Figure around 5.5 seconds to 60 miles per hour (or even slightly less) and the quarter-mile in about 14 seconds flat at around 105 mph.(for the v-6)

custoimer....i'll find the 5 liter specs later

ok.....one thing ford was aiming for was to beat the bmw's on the track. they did. the m3 pretty much ruled the track. the boss302 pretty much pummeled the m3. here's a comparison of the gt to the m3 though......
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1010_2011_2011_ford_mustang_gt_vs_2011_bmw_m3_comparison/index.html






Hmmm, me thinks 2011 M3 does something like 4.6 or 4.8 0 to 60?

watch the video on the 2nd link. they run both cars 0-60, braking tests, slalom, etc. the stang pretty much owns the m3.  :devil and that's just the gt.

 i'm sure chevy'll come up with a version of their aussi hot rod to eat the beemer alive too very soon.  :devil :bolt:

Camaro's are probably my favorite car that isn't a Ford.  I wish my mom hadn't sold her '86 Z-28.  That sucker looked sharp.  I would rather drive it than my F-150 (and that says a LOt coming from a Ford guy! )

IMO, the black would look better than plain white.  To me, for a plain white car to look the best it has to have certain lines (which is hard to describe, but if the hood was level all the way across it would look great all white).  That's just my opinion.

1)they said AMERICAN
2)if you want to live to see your 17th birthday, a nissan 350z is a very bad idea. my friends son(whom he swore was a "calm" driver) just totaled his 300zx. it was his first car. thankfully, the kid walked away un-injured, and didn't hurt anyone else.
well my mom wants to drive around everywhere with me when i get it...she cant trust me after that snowdrift accident.
