Its a part stripper model.
I didn't catch that until I read the entire article.
420hp, not 440.
Yeah maybe on a record run. A 2008 GT couldn't get any better then a 13.6 last night. They are not impressive.
This Camaro will run 12's, low 13's on average and considering its weight and top of the line suspension (unlike the Mustang), I would say its doing well. Its the aftermarket that is really going to shake things up. Im not a Mustang hater but lets be realistic here.
GM will up the HP to 450 when that happens.
If we know what engines Ford will be launching, you know damn well GM is well aware.
You should put an astericks beside that... it all depends if GM will even be here in 2 years.
I like the side view but all that plastic and the cheesy gauges look out of place in anything but a .............................chevy! The interior looks like a cheap Dodge rental car.
Rather, the inside of a Challenger looks like a cheap Dodge rental car.
There's actually some history behind the Camaros inside, unlike all of the Dodge line-up which could be interchangeable. :dw:
Up until a couple weeks ago, the new SS and a G8 GT were in the running to replace the Bullitt. The LS3 SS will dominate some shit once people start doing the typical LSx bolt ons/mods. Meanwhile, the mod-motor crowd in '11 with the 5.0 are going to be doing what we/they've been doing...forging and supercharging. Not that that's a bad thing...but I'd rather bolt on and cam a car and make 500hp than have to supercharge it and a bunch of other stuff to get a similar number. :shrug:
Motortrend did a 3 way shootout. The 2009 Mustang Gt was .2 seconds slower than the Camaro SS in the drag race. 420 hp and .2 second lead? WTF? :dw:

The Camaro SS may have looks, but where the hell is that 420 hp? :dw:
Good post.
A G8 GXP A6 ran a 13.0 at my local track...quick 4 doors
Motortrend did a 3 way shootout. The 2009 Mustang Gt was .5 seconds slower than the Camaro SS in the drag race. 420 hp and .5 second lead? WTF? :dw:
according to who?It has the same problem the Challenger has IMO....looks great in pictures but when you see one in person and realize it's as big as a minivan that takes a lot of the sexiness away from it and you walk away disappointed.
The interior is plain... but that resembles the interior of the old ones.
Did old chargers and 300C's have the same interior to?
The interior isn't only plain, its cheap! the cubby doors in my brothers 06 R/T charger take at least 5 minutes to finally latch close.
The challenger looks great from the exterior, but the inside is a let down
The camaro doesn't look terrible on the inside but 105hp over the mustang and .2 faster in the 0-60? I guess its the tall 1-2 thats responsible for that...
I like the new mustang, it does need a few minor styling changes on the outside but if it can stay on the ass end of a car in the same class with 105hp more, its not terrible...
