Next, 707 HP is cool, and impressive, and I'm not hating on the Dodge, but I could care less if the Camaro ever gets close to that number and I think most would agree. Its just wrong that you say you won't buy any Camaro until Chevy produces one with more than 707HP. How does that help the cause at all? Thats just crazy son. Quote:
Right again...the Z06 engine in an alpha chassis Camaro...and goodbye kitty cat with with less HP.

More HP is exciting to talk about, however it's not regularly usable like better handling and braking. Give me better handling and braking any day.

the reason i even mentioned HP is because lets face it if we are going to weigh more than the competition then we will need more! the 6th gen may be losing weight but honestly i dont believe it will be much when the car is produced. yes im all for handling and braking but these cars were MUSCLE cars meaning they were meant to run the 1/4. i KNOW GM went a different route with the 5th gen making it more comfortable and more of an autox car and yes the sales have been on top of Mustang since introduction but us die hard Camaro fans who know the cars roots want a car that will do the 1/4 and smoke the GT500 like it used to back in the day! the car is already awesome on road courses now lets lose some weight and up the ponies and get it to rape the competition at the strip! if GM can make this car come out on top in all categories IMAGINE the sales! and the bragging rights!!!

Bragging rights are nice but sales leader is what counts.

So I'm just curious , will the 6th gen be able to compete with the 2015 challenger RT with the scat pak for under 40k ? The scat pak gives a motor upgrade from the 5.7 to the 6.4 one and it comes with a 8spd auto .. I really wanna know would the 6gen be a better deal then that ?? I really am considering getting myself one ha ha but also waiting to see the 6th gen first .

Bingo! That is most people main question.
Here's your claimed answer: It may only be the zl1 or zr1 to beat this busters. I hope the zl1 will get the zr1's engine.Otherwise its up to the Copo or They will protect Chevrolet's most powerful super/sport car. But,we only need one that will beat that will be the best track car. The Z28 (OR they end up saying Z38) to track these cars.That's only what we need. But,i have more. But,today this is all your information. |

This brand issue is kinda like voting. Some people just pull the party lever and some decide person by person. To win the election the person usually must pull people from the other party. The Camaro does that as the sales have proven. the current Camaro was a real punch in the face to Ford and Dodge with design and style. But To think HP or quickness doesn't matter is WRONG in my eyes. The new gen better be as Number 3's correct montra is make a great Camaro. I'd never thought we'd be at 700+ HP and blistering quarters in 2009 when the Camaro debuted. The counter punch better be fast, strong and accurate... Broke my own rule of word count...

There will be no production car in the US that will ever compete with the Hellcat bone stock in the 1/4. This car can go int the record books for being the fastest american production muscle car. It's simply bragging rights. No one will buy a Hellcat to consistently race it on the strip. Not to mention, doesn't NHRA require a roll cage for anything under 11.5 seconds? Wouldn't the Hellcat be required to have the roll cage installed if you decided to race it? Now a days, autocross and tracking is becoming more popular than drag I believe. So handling is top priority which the Hellcat fails Im sure. I doubt driving a yaht on autocross with 707HP would be beneficial. lol

Considering that Chevy is changing the Corvette over to mid-engine next gen, it seems like the Camaro will be Chevy's only 2 door v8 RWD platform. It will probably see a wider variety of variants next gen, similar to Mustang.
This means that whatever power Chevy wants to show off it can do with a V8/RWD combo, it will be shown off using the Camaro. I'd imagine that'd mean transplanting what they've learned with the C7 Corvette, sharing parts from that platform over time. Not the initial models of the 6Gen, but down the road. (Just my thoughts). |

I read that the "Zora" is the new direction for the C8, as Chevy feels they've gotten the most out of their front engine/rwd setup (in terms of their high end, flagship sports car to compete with the Europeans). At least that's what I gathered.
