I really love the set up and sound of the JL Camaro! However I would be concerned about the longevity of the set up.... Can twin turbos of that quality and strength be sustained over the long run?

If they put a V6 Twin Turbo on the Z28 that would be a big waste! it would be nice to have a performance V6 package but i would hate it if the new Z28 came with a V6 ! I think it should have an ls7 and have the car weigh A lot less

actually it would be a huge win for gm if they did this. It would definitely bring in the people would buy imports etcs to take a second look at a camaro.

Yeah i'm not saying its a bad thing i'm just saying don't ruin the the Z28 with a V6 it would be a good idea to build a high performance V6 Camaro that GM can sell but don't make it a Z28 the Z28 never had a V6 and should never have a V6. And You are saying pretty much u want an American Muscle car to be more like an import thats pretty sad

420HP ??? that's it??? after TT??? congrats you now you ALMOST have V8 HP.
I feel like they could do better - like many others here have done.

I believe that is at the wheels not the crank so at the crank it makes close to 500 HP (correct me if I am wrong here) and that is higher than the SS.

It just says hp not rear wheel hp didn't specify

I can almost assure you that 420 is at the crank. No car company quotes horsepower at the wheels these days....whether its a production or concept car. Why? Because advertising crank HP sounds so much better. Many people out there simply don't understand the difference between a vehicle's advertised HP and HP at the rear wheels.

Example....which sounds better: "The new 426 HP Camaro SS!" or "The new 360 HP Camaro SS!".

If this TT had nearly 500 HP...they would be touting it big time.

Seriously, GM...make this a reality. Even a single turbo version...though the duals keep the lag down.

My mistake I thought Jay had said 420 hp at the wheels.

Yea, a 426hp sounds a lot cooler than 360hp, lol.

So true. I still get a smile on my face every time I look at my car and an even bigger smile on my face when I drive it.
