Funny how I just posted "repect your elders" and this guy comes right back with a completely misinformed insult. Im not one to go back and forth, but I cant help this one...

Car / 0-60 / top speed

1996 Boxter / 6.9 / 149
1996 Camaro V6 / 8.0 / 118
1996 Camaro V8 / 5.7 / 163

Sorry, your "race" up the on ramp was him "merging".

Not by how high he was sending his tach (i could tell by sound). Either/or - probably bad driver. I think it comical that I got the better of a porsche boxster who was trying to get in front of me on an onramp - in my wife's "little v6" Camaro.

Funny how you think that I'm being insulting because I'm posting a TRUE STORY about my wife's V6 powered CAMARO - it's probably insulting to you because it talks about a 6-cylinder car. Honestly I don't respect anyone who doesn't realize that not all of us can own V8's from the get-go and plenty of us love our "little v6s" just as much as you "big boys" love your V8's. It's you who should show some respect for a fellow Camaro enthusiast and recognize the above post for what it is - a funny story about how my wife's "little v6" beat a "big bad Porsche".

P.S. It's called a Porsche Boxster and if you want me to be informed, how about this (and I don't know what year was next to me on the onramp btw.):

1996 Porsche Boxster 986 (edmunds.com specs)
HP: 201 bhp @ 6000 rpm
TQ: 181 ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm

0-60: 7.2 seconds (http://www.autospecs.info)

1996 Chevrolet Camaro 3.8 (edmunds.com specs)
HP: 200 hp @ 5200 rpm
TQ: 225 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm

0-60: 7.3(http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html)
Quarter mile 15.5 (http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html)

Please "inform" yourself before stating that someone else is "misinformed".

Edit: came here to share a funny story, expecting to be harassed by someone with a v8 and a head up his ass. left satisfied....Done with this little ditty.

Wow...

I started a thread a little while back on why the next Camaro should ride on this platform, and now I feel even stronger about it.

3,400 lbs, and it WILL support a DI V8. Of course the V8 and beefier components will add to the weight, but wouldn't figure over 3,600 for sure.

I know it's a lot of what ifs, but is it too far fetched that the v-6 camaro could weigh less than the v-6 ATS?

Everyone said the ZL1 would weigh less than the CTS-V and we all know how that turned out.

Yep ... it turned out to be true. Unless 4120 lbs is somehow more than 4222 lbs

I don't even think weight will be a issue for none of these cars from a casual view. People just want a a kick ass looking car with some power and fuel economy (v6) or just raw in your face power with decent gas mileage (v8). The camaro will continue to still outsell the competition as long as it reminds true to its affordability

100lbs may not be a lot when your comparing cars weighing over 4 tons...even though every little bit helps for sure. But it is still nice considering all of the performance oriented extras the ZL1 comes with.

But just imagine if the next Camaro V6 does indeed end up weighing even less than the V6 ATS....you'd be looking at a 3,3xx lb Camaro V6. That would be friggin amazing. You'd be looking at a car that can run mid 13 quarters...or at least easy upper 13s and low to mid 5 second 0 - 60 sprints. Bolt ons would put it damn close to today's SS.....all for mid to upper 20K.

Now just imagine the SS weighing in at 3,500 to 3,600 lbs.
