ATS-V 0-138mph - crazy fast
Not a camaro. But interesting for the camaro still.
Check it out http://youtu.be/SOCqXGyESro Anyone noticed it was a manual transmission? This could tell us something about the alpha platform. And maybe even something about the camaro's weight. Sources say the ats-v is at 3700-3800lbs for a twin turbo v6 pushing 460hp. Some people various places have claimed the camaro would be heavier due to added structural strenghtening of the chassis to accomodate a powerful V8. If the ats-v can go from 0-120 mph in 11 seconds at 3800lbs, it has already been strenghtened adequately for the V8 alpha camaro coming up. Also, i would still argue a twin turbo v6 cadillac will be heavier than a N/A V8 camaro in base trim. I think it is safe to assume the ATS-V will put a hurting on most cars out there. Amazing car. Kudo's to GM. |

Here is a short video from the LA auto show on it.
Very tempting...

That is very impressive and a fantastic video! Thanks for the post
Makes you wonder, at 3700 pounds, that TTV6 is moving. And that seemed like an M6 tranny? I wonder what the auto would do if this is indeed a Manual. Makes me look forward to the upcoming specs for the Camaro. I think all variants are going to be a strong performer. Hoping instead of choosing the T4 option, they go with a TTV6 option. Imagine this thing with a tune!!!!

A TTV6 camaro will kill the LT1 V8 camaro so that is unlikely.. 460hp stock will be +500hp on a 93 octane tune.. Thats z28 territory
The 2.3 ecoboost mustang easily picks up 30hp and 70torque.. |

Ok ...if they changed platforms and it's still a whale ..I'd buy a 5th gen and save myself 40k ...the ats race car is less than 3000 lbs ...some how I'll try and wait till official release. . Hard to not comment on some of the crazy responses.

I would love to see that engine in a Camaro, not so far fetched in 4 or 5 years. The ATS-V is a bad ass ride.

The biggest disadvantage of forced induction cars are they require alot of cooling. Once they get hot they loose alot of power. On a race track for example. |

I thought the new platform was said to only shave a bit of weight? Wasn't this car weighing in around 3700 lbs?

Was speculating a little ...15 z28 3600 lbs ats race car 3000 lbs can't we shoot for the lower side ... No ones going to drive it in the snow ... And for damn sure not in rain either..hell what does carpet and a little seam sealer weight. My self would like to see a 3000 lb bare bones monster ...that would sure give the others something to dole over...come on gm or make a awd fighter t/t 3.6 manual trans Godzilla eater.

The ATS-V having forged engine is a perfect starting point to easily bring it up to 500+ HP just with a few small upgrades, like CAI, larger downpipe, larger exhaust and a tune.
If they would offer that engine on Camaro, I'll take it over LT1. |
