Somethings getting tweaked. LS7, LT1, LF3, God only knows...



'Performance enhanced!?' We don't need no stinking performance enhancers. If you want to make the $(%* car faster, do it the natural way! Didn't Chevy learn from Lance Armstrong?

Well finally we get an interesting post after a few pages of utter non-sense.

If you follow that link it says:

Quote:
2014 Camaro – The New York International Auto Show will host the world debut of the revamped 2014 Camaro, which advances the design and performance attributes that has made it the most popular sports car under $50,000 for three consecutive years.
In my earlier post I stated what I thought would be the changes. So far I feel pretty confident in my predictions:

Slight changes to front and rear fascia, possibly new wheel options, blue offered, little if any interior changes, a performance 1LE-like V6, and maybe the LS7 engine.

I thought pontiac was officially introduced as a GM brand in 1926, so thats where my 100 years came from.

But by your logic, the GTO would have been ok to have a 40th Anniversary edition then.

^Very cool. I hope that GM will consider those that want the camaro to challenge the mustang in all performance categories but would rather not wait for the 6th gen.

This will be a very interesting show; Can't wait!

oh, thought you meant just the GTO. Sure, why not.

Normal cars don't usually celebrate with anniversary models, do they? lol

Never considered a 1LE type package for the LT but it might not be a bad idea. Throw a set of 3.91 gears at that and it could amp up the fun factor. For now I'm still going to dream about LS7's that I won't ever be able to buy.

EXCEPT they don't even vaguely resemble each other. Get your glasses on man.

It'll definitely be interesting to see what changes are made to the Camaros.

As for those who feel their 2013 and earlier Camaros are now going to be outdated, well, to me, a car is only as old as it looks.

Take care of your early 5th gens and they'll always be new in your eyes.

It's always a pretty cool site to see a 4th gen that's in amazing condition - even more amazing to see models before that.

This just in:

"Performance-Enhancing Option For 2014 Camaro SS"

Dateline Warren MI

Today, it has been announced, ahead of the intended NYIAS reveal, a special performance-enhancing option will be available at Start of Production for the 2014 Camaro SS. Those with a chemical background will know, from its Option Code, just what that performance enhancer is...

NO2 - Performance Enhancer. Available 1SS, 2SS, with or without 1LE

Orders for this exciting new option will be accepted shortly, for SOP this July."


That is all...
