2015 Camaro SS - 0-60 time 4.7 seconds, 1/4 mile in 13.3 seconds
2016 Camaro RS V6 - 0-60 time 5.1 seconds, 1/4 mile in 13.5 seconds

Is it ALMOST as fast as the 2015 ss? From a purely specification point of view (listed above) it would seem like it is.....

Anybody take their 2016 V6 up against a 2015 SS?

Are you sure you're not cherry picking? Seems a little slow for the 5th gen SS & a little quick for the 6th V6.

[sonnydurden]

I pointed that out a while back when I was considering a 6th Gen V6. Coming from a 5th Gen SS I probably would not have seen much difference in take off speed

No. Not almost as fast. End of thread.

Someone post up the power to weight ratios.

Why do people on forums bench race so much? Just line your shit up against a 5th gen SS and find out!

0-60 doesn't mean shit. A 2001 mustang gt could run a 0-60 race close with a 2001 ls1 f body but we all know what happens from 61+mph. No one races 0-60 only either. In 20 years of racing everything from lawn movers to go karts to 3 wheelers to cars and trucks, I've never had one person say "say bruh, let's run 0-60 but that's it!"......dumb

If you read the last line I clearly state, "Anybody take their 2016 V6 up against a 2015 SS?"

If thats the end of the thread, you probably shouldn't follow it with a request for someone to post something



6th gen V6

~3450 lb/335 hp = 10.3 lb/hp


5th Gen SS
~3900 lb / 413* hp = 9.4 hp/hp
*splitting the difference between the LS3 & L99




The new V6 has about a 10% worse power to weight ratio than the old SS. Thats a pretty big difference.


I didn't have time to post this before, but the only time I've seen the numbers that the OP quoted for the V6 is Chevy's press release for the car. The cars that the magazines have tested tend to be slower by a couple tenths. Meanwhile, I don't recall ever seeing 4.7 & 13.3 for the 5th gen SS. I believe the original press release quoted a 0-60 in 4.4 & 1/4 in 13 flat. Most magazine tests had about a 4.6 run to 60 as I remember with the 1/4 being either 12.9 or 13.0.

So, comparing apples to apples its more like a 0.8 second gap (instead of 0.2).

Ok, so where did you get those numbers from? you're still bench racing. So, again, line up against a 5th gen SS and find out for yourself whether or not your that close in acceleration to one. I love when a cocky gt owner talked about walking an SS....b/c we can line up and find out first hand.

[MiamiBlueCamaro]

Wow they are very "close".......From Car and Driver.

[KyleL]

But you're also comparing a human shifting a manual v8 vs a computer shifting an auto v6.....at least compare the same driver, trans for trans if you're going to bench race.

[hotlap]

Chevy listed them as

2016 Camaro LT V6
0-60: 5.1 sec
Quarter mile: 13.5 sec

2015 Camaro SS
0-60: 4.7 sec
Quarter mile: 12.9 sec @ 113 mph

Might as well put this in the mix too

2015 Mustang GT
Source – 0-60 – ¼ Mile time)
Car & Driver – 4.5 – 13.0
Road & Track – 4.6 – 13.0
Motor Trend – 4.4 – 12.8
