Doesn't need to be faster, just more refined all around.

Better interior and materials. Better trunk. Better visibility.

Just fix the things this forum has been filled with for the last 3 years.

I recall very little complaining that the car wasn't fast enough.

It won't get much faster than what it is now, remeber that GM will not make a car to rival the Corvette under any circumstance.

Well I guess we have to tomorrow if that bar moves. C7 Corvette might be faster than the C6.

Put the same power we have now in the ATS chassis and it would be amazing simply because of that. If they end up putting the LT1 in that thing with 450hp/450tq, its going to be absolutely killer.

I'd say wait and see what kind of performance numbers the next gen Mustang put up, and then figure the next Camaro to be in that ballpark.

Out of the gate, a 6th gen only needs to be just enough faster than the outgoing level of 5th gen to be able to say so.

A tenth for those straightline numbers and maybe a quarter second per minute for the road courses would be "enough".

...Gen 6 coupe at approx. 3,700 lbs with 450 HP LT1 should be around .3-.4 sec faster in the 1320 than the current Gen 5 coupe at 3,913 lbs with 426 HP LS3

If its going to come out and not be faster than the competition off the showroom floor then go back to the drawing board, after all isn't that what it's all about bang for the buck ?

Sounds about right.

I think final HP/Tq figures for the LT1 go up a little after certification.

But either way the LT1 will have a strong under the curve power advantage over the LS3. Put that in a lighter car and there is no doubt the 6th Gen Camaro will better the 5th Gen performance.

It may be slightly lower then 426hp or the same but it'll be on a lighter platform hopefully which will equate to faster times. Are we concerned with faster times or less hp #'s?

Since we do not know what the Ford crew will be putting out, the question is mute. We are at an advantage engineering wise, having much more time and experience away from the antiquated F body structure, using a different Zeta chasis design only to be ungraded to Alpha. Ford has to make the quantum leap forward from their fossil frame architecture. It's up to the engine shops for sure, based on corporate edict about what they allow them to tinker with HP level wise, and what is their HP vision for the future. Hopefully we have some modular leeway with the engines to switch and swap, mix and match along the lines of what Ford has shown lately.

The 6th gen. needs to be lighter, smarter, quicker in order to soundly compete with Ford's aggressive mustang.

Not for anything, there is still a little time to work on the rest of the 5th gen's models. I have newfound respect for the Camaro SS 1LE. The SS and the ZL1 could use a little attention before the end of the 5th gen. run.
