Doesn't the Camaro already have 650/650? Why is everyone so excited about 485ish

Truth is majority of people wouldn't be able to tell 455 and 485hp. GM won't spend all that money on research and development on a small hp increase. |

Adapting some of the LT2 content to LT1 would increase output. It would no doubt get a new RPO code though. Too much change to be called LT1 and similar to but not exact content as an LT2. It’s possible, but still unlikely unless those same changes are applied to the L87 which will continue on in high volume for trucks and utilities.

Depends on the tuning would be my guess. When I got my car back from Vector Motorsports (LT headers, ported TB, E85) it felt significantly different than before. Not sure what my crank hp is now but it might be in the 485-490 range and it’s very noticeable.

Honestly, if they want 25 BHP boost, there is a much easier way to do it: the GM CAI.
While GM doesn't advertise it to increase power, someone dynoed it on this forum and it shows that the car does gain like 20 BHP from it. If they are that desperate, they could just make all the new Camaro SS come standard with the GM CAI. It's just so much easier.

Even if it's just a slight upgrade to the engine, it means they would have to do the whole emissions and certifcation processes for the Camaro SS models not only in US, but for all markets around the globe they are selling the car. Chevy has not spend a dime on the Camaro for years besides the emergency 2020 refresh of the reresh and very minor sticker packages (grouping things you already can optionselect when buying). How would anyone approve a business case to invest millions for one model year on a dying car?

Yeah, i think about this a lot.... if i should trade for a 2023 or 2024, not really to upgrade, but to postpone having the buy a performance EV for as long as i can . Though, almost everything i read says the chip shortage will extend past 2022. On that basis, there won't be a non-crazy market remaining for the Camaro. On the positive, i think the car shortage which has made our cars more valuable will extend to a trade in for 2023 or 2024. Last edited by Hops; 11-14-2021 at 05:39 AM. |

I am thinking of buying the last model year of the Camaro so I can have it last longer.

I like Matt. Although, I'll wait for something official. I just don't see how a mid-engine designed V8 will fit in the Camaro.
