According to details we've been told by the folks breaking the embargo, the new Chevy Camaro will come in LS, LT and SS (yes, we know there's a badge there that says "RS")— and be available in either 6-speed manual or auto flavors. Under the hood, a 296 HP 3.6-liter V6 or a 416 HP 6.2-liter V8 with cylinder deactivation. And check out that interior — looks very muscular to us. Weight? How about 3,747 lb [same as 2006 GTO] — lighter than the Challenger. Full details below the jump. The Camaro will come in LS, LT and full-on SS specs and be available with 6-speed manual and auto transmissions. Under the bonnet sit fuel-efficient 296bhp 3.6-liter V6 and 416bhp 6.2-liter V8 engines, which can run on fewer cylinders to improve economy. It shouldn't just be a burnout king either, handling should be pretty good thanks to an all-independent suspension setup and a StabiliTrak stability control system. 4-pot Brembo brakes front and rear shed the speed on the SS. Weight balance is split 52/48 front/rear too, but the Camaro is a porker, weighing in at more than 1,700kgs. The interior gets cool LED lighting, leather seats on posher models and dials and gauges inspired by 1969 Camaros. The US gets the car in early 2009, while we'll get it some time after that. Super. |
A 300HP V6 with cylinder shutoff might keep it in the game, even if gas prices keep rising. Not bad, considering the old RS. Of course, as with the Challenger, you need the V8 for it to be genuine muscle hah.

And thats just the V6. The SS is going to be beastly.

badass. pure badass. nice numbers, love those throwback gauges, and can you say "6-speed manual"? will be interesting to see how Ford counters this, at least engine-wise.
|
That's insane looking. I really like it.
edit: my 500th post! :jump: |
That looks absolutely gorgeous; I love it.
|
it stole our wheels!
|
possibly i'm an idiot...but center console gauge cluster theres a torque gauge?? 0-370 lbft of what?
|
saw a black one on the streets in Lafayette, LA this past weekend. i about died. i dont know who or why it was out on the streets, but it was going the opposite direction and couldnt take a pic of it. very nice though, sexy.
|
interesting placement of gauge cluster on the center console... very unique. I like
|
Much rather have a bigger cubby than the gauges but from what I understand it's a nod to the late 60's Camaro's. If it's priced right I'll most likely get this in a year or two. I'm curious what the SS will have appearance wise to differentiate it from the V-6 here. Guess we'll find out on Monday at the dealer reveal thing.
Ford will have to do something more than a refresh and larger engine. IRS, almost 50/50 weight balance and over 400hp for probably a few grand more than a Mustang GT is s hell of a bargain. |
The 68-69 Camaro had console gauges if you bought one with the RS package [RS, Z28/RS, SS/RS]

Looks pretty cool. Not a big fan of the interior tho.

Looks better than when i saw it in transformers!
|
I heard the Camaro is on hold now do to finances and the gas crisis.
They are very late into the 2nd Motorhead generation. |
Too heavy. Looks Great. Interior looks acceptable for the price point of the car. Mustang owners might as well pack it up. NO WAY would i buy ANY stang over this car. And that goes for the GT500 too.
Mmmm... LS goodness in what looks to be a good looking and handling handling package. I think we have a winner. |
Not bad.
|
but really a torque gauge?? how useful is that going to be?
|
About as usefull as the g-meter in the GTR.
