Adam LZ's GT350 had an engine bay fire on track. Adam is a YouTuber and Formula Drift driver, but his friend and professional driver Collete Davis was the one driving the car. The gasket pushed out from the oil filter on her third stint of the day, and the engine bay melted to the ground. As he...
But the GT500 has to be able to put its power down like the ZL1 1LE can. A 750hp whipple-Charged GT on NT05R’s is a different animal compared to a 750hp supercharged factory Mustang with minimal-sidewall track tires, especially when exiting an elevated turn. The ZL1 1LE grips its way around...
Ford missed their mark.
If they’re planning to reveal the GT500 at the NAIAS, they’re going to have to battle the new Supra and the new C8 Corvette for press coverage. I mean, yeah there’s a new 735hp 3900lb Mustang for $75000, woohoo... but isn’t that just another supercharged, overweight...
It’s weird that Ford really hasn’t said a word about the GT500 since Detroit. They’re definitely going to lose sales to the C8, as that car is, more than likely going to weigh >3200lbs with 500hp for >$70,000. They’re also losing sales to the Hellcat Redeye as that car gains popularity and the...
I think that the 7th gen Camaro would be a 2022MY, but the SS model should utilize a new DOHC V8.
ZERV from CorvetteForum (The CAD drawing leaker) said that it would use a Tremec DCT. The TR9007 is the only DCT Tremec offers that could handle the torque of a Twin-Turbo V8, but Car & Driver...
According to dealer guides, no power bump for the Camaro. However, a power bump may come for the 2020MY.
And yes, it’ll have a Tremec DCT, but it isn’t confirmed if it’ll use the TR9007 or a new 8-speed DCT that is specifically for the Corvette.
I heard from an insider that the LT1 would get bumped up in power to be the base motor and that it would be replaced a year or two later with a N/A DOHC V8. There will also be a 4.6L Twin-Turbo V8(Z06?) and a 5.4L Twin-Turbo V8(ZR1?). DCT only, RWD only. Base price is expected to be below...
The EB was the middle engine choice before the V6 died off, and it was lined up with the V6 Camaro. The V6 Camaro is the true EB competitor and the 2.0t was lined up with the mustang V6. The EB pulls hard down low and made more power than the V6, so they killed the V6. The Camaro V6 is good all...
That wasn’t a document leak, just some report from analysts. There was, however a leaked photo from the infamous ZERV character on a particular forum. It was labeled LT7 and showed what appeared to be a Twin Turbo DOHC V8, and this ZERV character later leaked a full picture of the engine. The...
If the GT500 is going to have a 5.2L supercharged V8, lightweight not going to happen. Between all the cooling, chassis support, added hardware, beefed up parts, and interior features, 4100lbs sounds correct. The entire Camaro lineup has a lot of aluminum in the front end to save weight, not...
Well, yeah, the alpha is leagues above the S550 chassis. The CTS and ATS are known as some of the best handling sedans on the market. The Camaro team took that a step further and beat supercars around racetracks with only 455hp and a 6-Speed. One lap in a mustang GT and you’ll notice right away...
There’s a LOT of disrespect going on here. The Corvette ZR1 and Ford GT are both insanely high performing vehicles that are hard to dislike. The GT is built by a racecar manufacturer and is designed from the ground up to tear apart racetracks. The Cabin is narrow and uncomfortable, the tires are...
The Camaro is worlds ahead in the Chassis and handling side of things, and the mustang has better powertrains and interiors, and they play off their own strengths. I'd expect the next gen Mustang to get lighter and the next Camaro to gain better visibility and interior quality. The big issue...
