[MuffHugger]

No SS, no care.

 

[Bru]

the on-sale date was march 16. I've had it marked on my calendar for a few weeks now

It was always scheduled to go on sale in the first quarter of 2009, and that only leaves til the end of March.

Looks like all of those pictured are V6 models

 

[slowchevy]

i'd still rock a DI V6 model..

 

[skeezer]

there are SS in those pictures.

i'm concerned that there's only 4 colors so far.

no white, no blue...

 

[slowchevy]

yea someone pointed that out.

maybe they're making those in special batches ?

 

[slowchevy]

welcome to tcg

The acceleration numbers we pulled on the 2009 Challenger SE with its mandatory four-speed automatic transmission were as unimpressive as you would expect from a 3,819-pound car with a 250-hp engine. Zero to 60 takes 8.1 seconds. The SE eats up 16.1 seconds traveling through the quarter-mile.

Chevrolet is estimating that the V6 Camaro can get to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds and complete the quarter in 14.4 seconds. That's with either the standard six-speed manual or the optional six-speed automatic. Houlihan thinks that with final tweaking, his team will be able to get that figure down to 5.9 seconds to 60 mph. That's not going to be enough to beat a 350Z, but it would surely take down a Mazda RX-8.

Even accounting for the not exactly impartial source of this information, it's pretty clear the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V6 will be quick enough to at least get a car enthusiast's attention.

 

[Renesis07]

lol, well at least mine will look good losing !

 

[slowchevy]

they're 300 hp

15 less than the ford mustang's v8

 

[blakbearddelite]

Don't the mustangs run almost 3/4 second faster though with only 15 more hp?

 

[Mook]

the v8 stang runs a 13.5. the v6 camaro runs a supposed 14.4....the v6 mustang and the v8 camaro, i have no idea

 

[Renesis07]

I honestly didnt realize the V6 Camaro was going to be that quick, I figured it wouldve been a dog like the V6 challenger, charger, and mustang lol.

Now I have a conversation piece about my car at least

"Yea the RX8 looks fast and make a lot of noise, with some more bolt-ons, Ill be able to keep up with a V6 Camaro; its fast dude."

 

[Bru]

This V-6 isn't going to be like other V-6 Camaros, that's for sure. It's still has a lot of weight to carry around (3700 pounds) but it has 300 hp and is claimed to be rated at 27 mpg on the highway. The 2010 GT mustang is only rated at 22 mpg highway with the auto, and 23 mpg with the manual. The V-6 mustang (210 hp) is rated at 26 and 24 highway mpg with manual and auto, respectively.

 

[Freebeer187]

Are they still doing the Z28?

 

[Rebel]

Don't think so. I don't have a link to where I read that though.

LT RS SS

 

[Bru]

LT RS SS

Yeah, I'm digging the RS package a lot the more i look at it

There's gonna be the LS, LT and SS. The RS package is optional on the LT and SS,

Good call, thanks for the correction.

 

[Bru]

No worries. I've been writing about the damn car for the past four years for either my internship or current work so this shit is permanently etched in my brainz.

I saw a black SS on the road in Michigan today, on my way home from Canada.
