If the engine revs to 8200rpm and you shift its not gonna drop below 5000rpm so therefore it'll keep you from making a full qaurter mile pass would it not? Or god for bid you come down a short straight bang the limiter slow just enough to make the curve before the long straight so you don't drop...
So even though a driver like randy probst posted some quick times which bested the gt w/pp and the boss you still chalk it up as slow? Yes in the types of racing you posted it may have lost but is it soley on the car? I'm sure plenty of mustangs finished further back in the rankings. Does that...
So this thing is 8mph faster than any other car has been on the track? Holy hell!!!! Thats an extremely amazing stat to have over the cars on that list. Damn.
You clealry haven't paid attention to the discussion between me and pill. The 200lb weight loss claim was a claim pill made. I brought it up because he loves to make these claims but he leaves a wide enough window so that he's only off by a little in each way. And no adding track parts to a car...
400-600? Really? Last I checked a foxbody was pretty darn light and well within those numbers of a c4/5/6/7 vette. Even the s197's were working 200-300lbs of a base vette. Maybe if you compare a fully loaded gt500 to a c5 z06 but that's not the norm. Why is it that Chevy is having more of a...
Weight itsnt determined by our voice. You of all people should know its more based on how its built how much it cost and what's required by law to have in the car. None of that is because we the people have spoken.
Was it hysterical when you were off by 100-200lbs on every one of the v8 s550...
The great weight debates all stemmed from thepill and his 3400-3500lb prediction and slamming of the heavy camaro. Now that's it officially heavier in every v8 model its kinda funny. Still a awesome car performance wise just not as light as promised from someone with "the know". So in short...
So then why compare the 350 to a z28?
Nope because now both will be one the newest chassis they offer. And yes its on a 4dr chassis yet again and the fact that the last one did so well against a purpose built chassis (mustang) that's impressive. So many people said it would never handle and it...
Never said it should be lighter than a z06 just lighter than it is. Everyone compared the weight of the gt350 to the heaviest vette that's why I made the point of why it's heavier.
Not the "R" version. Also the z06 has to accommodate for the supercharger and beefed up parts to go along with it. Look at the weight difference between a base c7 and a z06.
It's not an excuse its a fact. The camaro was built on a existing sedan platform. Hence all the added weight. How does it have a better suspension than a gt350/r? At best it has a slightly better tire. Now price point it complety destroyed the z28. I hope Chevy learns from it but I doubt they will.
So you say 3850 and now its back to 3780-3820? Cmon man you gotta pick one and stick with it. If not it could be within 20-30lbs either way which would make for 100lb spread and you will say "see I told you". That's reaching at best since we all can roughly judge what it will be within a 100...
Can I quote you on this and refer back to it when the numbers are released? You've changed up the numbers drastically over time so I wanna make sure this is your final answer. :cheers:
SS model is claimed to be 200lbs with the v6 rumored to be around 300lbs. The turbo4 should be close to the v6 weight. With those number it should put the camaro at low 3700 high 3600. I would think 3700-3750 would be rock bottom.
Regardless of the weight its gonna run like a rapped date! But it still sucks they couldn't get it into the 3500 range with full fluids. Now the big question will be how much bolt ons horsepower can the new fpc make or how high will it turn with a tune? 8800-9200? Imagine the sound of that with...
I though when discussing the brakes size you said it was a possibility of a 3700lbs? Now your saying for a fact that the next Camaro will not be under 3800lbs as an SS model? I do like though how you quickly step away from the mustang weight problems/lies by throwing jabs at the camaro. Save...
