2012 Camaro Announced- 550 HP supercharged 6.2L called ZL-1
 

From Autoblog.com:

"At this point, specifications are still preliminary, but Chevrolet is estimating that its supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine will put out around 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. Those ponies will be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission using a dual-disc clutch that's necessary to properly harness all those horses. There's also a dual-mode exhaust system that alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm."

They going to let him build a scale model? LOL!
The actual Camaro is huge. Like pushing a dumpster through the air. About the same frontal area as an H2 Hummer. Just about as good looking too. :-)

Being serious here, I wish they would rate it to compete with the Challenger and Mustang. It would really be cool to see one in stock. I know it would fly!

It was just announced that Chrysler will be offering a twin turbo dragpak. Engine combinations are being developed as we speak and word is that the new cars will have brand new billet turbos from Precision Turbo. Now if only I can find that link, lol.
