Much better then the prototype IMO.  I can't wait to see the numbers it puts down.  And if they do a SS package.

I just hope that they dont do the same old push rod motor that they have been doing for decades!

Honestly how old is the 3.8 liter v-6?? and there still using it? (last I cared to check)

+1 preddy. the good ole 3800. :rofl: I hope they are not using it. Every damn gm car in the 90's had that clunker in it, from grand ams to camaros. :puke: I am not a big fan of GM, but I would like to see them doing better, being an american company. This one looks pretty sweet.

Just an easy copy of what Ford did years ago with the Mustang. I think we all know who has the bawls of the auto industy. Shit, the Mustang was a copy of the thunderbird. That was a cool car, talk about a weird motor, 3.9 ltr v-8. That thing would sing to the moon!

What's wrong with the pushrod motor?

Of course, I'm a bit biased. I love my LS3 6.2L.

I'm thinking it will be powered by the LS2 6.0L 400 h.p. motor.

no problem with pushrods in general, just that 3.8 liter p.o.s. And rebadging them and calling them a new motor, when it is the same one in every other gm car on the road. And GM is not the only one guilty of this, either.

Looks like they will offer two V8 engines......They will offer a 4.3L V8 (L99*).

*A 4.3 L version of the LT1, designated the L99, was introduced in 1994 for the Chevrolet Caprice. It was externally identical to the LT1, but the bore was reduced to 3.736" and the stroke to 3.00" (similar to the late sixties Chevrolet 302 used in the first-generation Camaro Z28s). The pistons used in the L99 were the same as the ones used in the Vortec 5000 with the use of 5.94" connecting rods.

Yeah, not so bad, just razzin ya'. I really liked the Ford 500 we rented out in Cali. Had a CVT. Was nice in the mountains. No shifting of the trranny all the time. :thumbs: The EDGE is nice too. Shared with Mazda. I haven't ever really liked their light duty trucks, though. Heavy DUty diesels are still good

If you want to start talking optional motors then why not bring up the GT500 :P :P

I dont care, I know that chevy LS motors make serious power, I've whitness my buddies 69 chevelle with 6.0 truck motor with a giant turbo put down over 1100 HP. ERMAHGERD thats a fun car. The car is full weight and not tubed out will carry the front tires for the first 60' of the track.

The fact that Ford floods the market with Mustangs every year really doesn't help matters much, in fact it kills the guy that has just dropped $50 grand for that Mustang GT500. That guy is lucky if his car is worth $30K after the first year. I wish they would scale things back like they did with the GT40. Decreasing production numbers on the GT and the V6 Coupe would help justify that $50K price tag on upscale models.

 I will be visiting the Hendrick cars.... The Chevy LSX pushrod motors are just simply the best thing out there. Trust me, lots of us old school Chevy guys were very resistant to the change. I saw some info that showed GM having 0 catastrophic engine failures per million units, and Toyota was next best with 14 :thumbs: Us Chevy guys got beat up on with the 5.0 in the 80's and 90's. Once the LS-1 came out, Ford just never could match it without a supercharger(and many times not then). The best thing about Chevy is when they told us we were making 325 hp at the flywheel ('02 SS), we would steady knock off 315-318 at the tires with a stock motor! The Mustang claimed 300 and would lay down 200 at the tires......There was a big shakeup over that deal! The new Camaro is knocking off 13 flat on street tires......A set of headers and sticky tires are gonna put this thing in the mid 12's, maybe better. WOW!

Everyone I know is impressed by the stunning looks of the Mustang, and it is a beauty for sure, but we would only consider it as the wife's car. The Challenger is another stunning car, but it doesn't take much time dealing with the Hemi to know you are dealing with a fuel injected version of the same old stuff. I love the Hemi for it's looks though....... :clap:

Post by: Flynbyu on April 07, 2009, 09:08:31 AM
I'm a huge fan of pushrod motors. You're right, GM took a licking in the 80's and early 90's until the LT-1 made it out on the scene. That Camaro was a 14 second car on stock tires, with a 165 mph top speed. A speed that today's Mustang GT can't reach.

The Mustang has a cool look, but it's the same car as last year's model with slight refinements. Of course they offer the GT500, GT500KR and the Super Snake, but for $70-80 grand, I'd buy a Z06 and hand them their ass.

I'm a huge fan of the LS3 motor in my car. To think it pushes the the Camaro through the quarter mile at 13 seconds and 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds is amazing. Ford will still continue to outsell the Camaro due to the act they produce 135,000 units a year vs. Camaro and less than half of that number.

Title: Re: 2009-10 Chevrolet Camaro
Post by: Kenny on April 07, 2009, 12:24:42 PM
I think the Mustang has historically outsold the Camaro. I am a little torn by what Chevy did here. They built a car that "feels" like a 67-68 on the outside and a 69 on the inside. Then they put it through the wind tunnel to make it functional. Ford and Chrysler decided to make aerodynamic bricks to keep the look which may end up being the better marketing tool. I hope this car does well in sales just to keep the Camaro name alive.

I think the L-99 moniker is just a rehash number. As far as I can tell the Camaro L-99 is a LS based motor. You know, much like the L-92 in the truck like is lightyears ahead of the L-92 TPI in my 91 B4C Z/28. Nothing was shared except the name on the valve covers.

Don't forget about the 03-04 Cobras. Those were WICKED cars, with a very resonable price tag. With VERY little work you have your self a over 500RWHP car.

If you feel like droping 3500 on a twin turbo set-up (yes, ontop of the supercharger) your making over 1000RWHP on pump gas. With the only supporting mod needed is a clutch.

L-99 is the newest engine in the 2010 Camaro's lineup.  The L-99's block, cylinder heads, crankshaft, and connecting rods-along with the intake manifold and throttle body are all shared with the LS3. The L99 is best thought of as a "higher-tech" LS3. It features Active Fuel Management (like in the like Pontiac's G8 and Holden's Commodore) and Variable Valve Timing.

If you feel like droping 3500 on a twin turbo set-up (yes, ontop of the supercharger) your making over 1000RWHP on pump gas. With the only supporting mod needed is a clutch.

The thing that stands out with the Cobra, IRS and an underated engine. A few quick bolt ons and you were cooking with 500hp!!!!

It's a shame the Mustang GT500 is on a wagon axle.

The Mustang has a cool look, but it's the same car as last year's model with slight refinements. Of course they offer the GT500, GT500KR and the Super Snake, but for $70-80 grand, I'd buy a Z06 and hand them their ass.

Yea, I dont understand Ford sometimes. They really had a good, unique car on their hands, then dumped after two years. IRS on a sports car could be very cool.  LOL, kinda like the Polaris Outlaw.  :rofl:

I LOVE the sound of the Supercharger on the Cobras. WICKED!

Not to many motors out there will handle 1000+HP with NO internal mods.

I think the Mustang has historically outsold the Camaro. I am a little torn by what Chevy did here. They built a car that "feels" like a 67-68 on the outside and a 69 on the inside. Then they put it through the wind tunnel to make it functional. Ford and Chrysler decided to make aerodynamic bricks to keep the look which may end up being the better marketing tool. I hope this car does well in sales just to keep the Camaro name alive.

I think the L-99 moniker is just a rehash number. As far as I can tell the Camaro L-99 is a LS based motor. You know, much like the L-92 in the truck like is lightyears ahead of the L-92 TPI in my 91 B4C Z/28. Nothing was shared except the name on the valve covers.



Kenny's Z-28 is a fully equiped anti-hippie machine  :lol:

300 horsepower V6?

Same horsepower as a Mustang GT V8 with two less cylinders?

:rofl:

~Brian


LMAO, Mustang owners  :owned:...... :rofl:


You dont see me rubbing in the 80-90 Camaro. I remember reading there was a year of Camaro that had something like 84RWHP.  :clap: Chevy  :clap:

You must be refering to the 4 cylinder Camaro that was available in the 80's. It was the LQ9 L4. It had 88 horsepower.

The Mustang in 1980's had a motor that was identical. It was a 2.3L that also produced 88 hp.

1995 was the last year for the Mustang to have any balls. The 5.0L motor was the best motor ever in the Mustang in my opinion. There were two, versions of the 5.0L The 210 hp version and the 240 hp Cobra version.

Cobra also had the 5.8L that was rated at 300, but was closer to 330-340hp. Awesome motor.

The 1992 Camaro (3rd Generation) was the last for GM's five motor choices. The 5.0L and 5.7L GM motors produced 230 and 245hp.

Then came the LT1 and GM got their manhood back.

Then Ford cought on and turbo charged it. Have you ever seen a well modded SVO run. Hardest runnin 4 cylinders you'll ever see!! Flat out amazing! Another example of a good motor de-tuned to chit :rofl:

Oh yeah, love that whine!!!!

Too bad they have to strap a supercharger on it to make 500+ horsepower. :lol: Just kidding.

Strap a supercharger on an LS3 and you'll make 650-700 by changing the injectors only. Add one to the LS7 and make 850-900.

Of course, if you want the warranty, you'll have to pony up $115K for the 638hp LS9 powered Zr1.

I ALMOST got to do the PDI (pre-delivery inspection) on a GT-40, but quit the job a month before they hit the floor.

The 6 cylinder is 304 hp. A Mustang Gt is only 315 hp.

Cost of the V8 vs. V6? Big difference.

10-15K depending on equipment.

I want one of these.  Any one of these.

excerpt:  Not pleased with recently taking the back seat to Hennessey Motorsport in the LS-tuning circle, Lingenfelter has upped the ante by beginning development on its very own version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Their plan is to release five distinct power packages ranging from a supercharged 550-horsepower model all the way up to a monster 800-horsepower, turbocharged, LS7-swapped version that we're going to talk about a little more.
