Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

The Lingenfelter Camaro's quickest run was 8.997 seconds at 158.80 mph - putting out 1,243 HP and 1,328 lb. ft. of torque at the tires, making it the first 5th Gen Camaro SS to go into the 8s in the quarter mile. You can watch the LPE Camaro SS break its quarter-mile record on Lingenfelter's YouTube page at www.youtube.com/LingenfelterVideo. (photo courtesy Lingenfelter) [11/24/10]

Do they allow NOS now if it was a factory option?:D

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Yeah, it's activated by OnStar.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Now THAT's an option!

I can see the commercial now. "Hello ON STAR, I am getting my A@@ kicked by a Cobra Jet can you help?"

On Star: No problem sir, activating Nitrous. I will stay on the line until you cross the finish line! LOL.

Jim,

I don't care who you are, That's funny!!!

Steve

Hope to see you more next year.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Yeah, that's funny! Probably not far off, but funny just the same. Jim

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

There is a more tame one on Lingenfelter's site that ran 10.30, gm has the parts to put out a competitive car. they just are not motivated yet. On the Camaro On/Star is free !

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Still saddled with an honest hp rating.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

That's no problem, the CJ's have SYNC!

[voice command] SYNC, SMOKE CAMARO

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

The Camaro's actually come with OnStar from the factory. The CJ's do not come with sync.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

ONSTAR:
Hello Mr. Bowtie.....would you like turn by turn directions to your destination?

MR. BOWTIE:

WTF.......we don't do turns! Just hit the NOS please .... I'm sniffing this Mustang's manure:D

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Ed, they wont be saddled with hp if they put a package together like mopar and submit hp to nhra, mopar got a 400 something hp for the v10 so can gm. I bet you will see something from gm in 2011.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

GM is currently working on an LSX engine with an EFI intake system that looks like it was taken right off the MOPAR HEMI engine.....while their existing engines are already rated and honestly....this is a NEW combo that they can rate any way they want....this thing looks bad......

D L Rambo.....

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Yep, Like I said the v10 rated by mopar at 600, nhra 440 so where do you think the gm will be ? It will be competive. Sure would make things more interesting, they all need to be in an FX class so they run headsup .

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Ummmmm, you do realise it's a joke....right?

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Bob, 275 hp looks about right to me.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

I was thinking 220 HP !

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Even better. That would indicate about the same level of integrity as the Ford and MOPAR execs that submitted hp ratings to NHRA. They are the basis of all these problems.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

And what will NHRA do about it?????? As it looks right now......NOTHING ! What a shame things have gone down hill like it has fo all who have supported the NHRA. If it wasnt for the numbers of racers involved and the $$$$$ you all give to NHRA you would have gone the way of Modifird long ago. Your to much trouble to them. Why even bother playing the game unless you have one of the new combos? Most will keep on spending thier money and kissing the kings ***** in Calif. hoping for something better but it will never happen. I really hope Im proven wrong but time will tell the true story.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Also heard that the new Camaro has traction control when the NOS is actvated and an ON-Star GPS brake control for the finish line, but just a rumor. The CJ and DP's only have throttle by wire control, which is not as accurate.

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

Hay Ed, I dont care where the hp starts out. If ford, mopar and gm want attention they would get it if they went head to head, they would be the high light of every national event but like Terry says "Dont look like it" I see a bunch more people in the stands just to see them battle it out. BRING BACK FX !

Re: Who said the new Camaro was to heavy?
 

I agree.
