Automobile magazine says of the new Camaro...

The fact that their answer for Naturally Aspirated LS cars is a car with a supercharger is funny.

Like i said if the Z/28 comes out and has an LS7 I'll be on top of that quick.

well, again, it's 330 ci vs 427 ci. the supercharger is an equalizer.

 if i was more of a cheavy nut, i'd go for a camaro too, as it IS a beautiful car. i really think it's the first good looking camaro they've made since about 1970.

 although i had an 89 mustang, i feel the same about them......the current bodystyle mustang is the first really good looking one produced since 73 or so..........

LS7 as of now is only in the very limited C6 ZO6. The rest of the LS cars run the Naturally Aspirated 345.7 LS1(Camaro & Firebird), 364.1 LS2(Vette & GTO) or 376 LS3(Vette & 2010 Camaro). C5 ZO6 has the LS6 which isn't much different from the LS1 and infact a small number of F-bodies actually got the LS6 block.

LS7 came out after the blown Cobras and now you have the LS9 which is in the new ZR1. 376 cubic inch supercharged LS9 V-8 makes 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque. 103 hp per liter, has 6.2.

I honestly think that instead of just throwing more power at the thing GM should work on making a lighter version...

Safety standards are turning these things into pigs, It's not because GM wants to build dump trucks.

agreed./.......i think the mustang weighs almost 4,000 pounds now.....dunno how heavy the camaro is......

[whiteman]

will be 3900 for a 6 speed and the autos will be over 4000 i think, Verts are going to be really heavy.

if GM had the balls to do it ..

I'd like to see a no frills Vette and Camaro .. base model ..no lectric windows, no lectric seats, floor carpet you can see thru (or mebbe painted on non-skid) ..radio delete, bare bones, big tires, big motor, loud, and the option list just offers toys to go/stop/corner faster.
Period.

You want a 'cruiser' .. get an Impala.

That's just me tho.

KIND Of like the old thunderbolt fairlanes?

that actually is a good idea, and all of the big three should consider something like that. i wouldn't lower the vette like that though.....offering the camaro like thaty would be sufficient i think.

Aye Cap .. would be fun for the people that buy them for fun.

Ford could do the Mustang and .. er .. some 2 door bidness coupe ..if they even have one anymore?

And Dodge perhaps could bring out the 'Cuda in that trim since Plymouth is dead.
Speakin of Dodge an Plymouth, it's interesting to note that the 'Cuda had a shorter wheelbase than the Challenger, that's why it always did better at the drags in every class than a Challenger would. Shorter wheelbase = quicker weight txfer = faster off the line.

4th Gen F_body strippers have the 1LE Code, sure they will do it for the 5th gen

i think ford doesn't have any busness type coupes anymore........not sure if they still build the crown vic......but THAT would be a cool fun sleeper in this kinda trim though.......
