The Camaro and ZR-1's are the coolest looking means of public transportation ever!

[LS3] 426/408 HPft tq [L99] 400/395 cam is different less duration /less lift
[ L99] has cam phaser gives more piston to valve clearance when
cam phasing changes.pistons piston are different w/ valve reliefs
machined

[LS3] 10.7 compression [L99]10.4

[LS3] 420 / 553 @ 4600 [L99] 410 / 535 @ 4300

[LS3] 6600 RPM [L99] 6200

[LS3] 7.6 Qts oil [L99] 8.9

The local Chevy dealer is at invoice on the Camaros. If they try to get one from another dealer, they will be over invoice.

They sold their V6. Another, an SS 426 horse stick, is due in. Much nicer looking in real life then in pictures!

I got my silver with black strips SS LS3 6 speed car a couple of weeks ago! I worried GM was going to go tilt or cancel the line before I got it. This is a very cool car.....take the traction control off and burn rubber until you shift into 3rd! I've driven lots of factory hot rods, but this car has it all, steering, brakes, luxury, and power..... my opinion is this is the ultimate muscle car!

Nice car, but take it to the track in stock form and you will have a little trip back to reality.....

Best of luck w/it. WJ

Sir, w/all respect, what I meant by "stock" was: stock whls and tires, stock clutch, stock computer tune, and stock weight....NOT NHRA stock. I love the car...we're lucky they produced it... but GM, w/the new Camaro, has made it difficult for 1/4 mi. racer fun once again, for both novice and pro. The car's weight, the IRS rear, a brake/caliper combination so large that 20" wheels are mandatory, factory computer tune way too conservative, along with a very weak clutch.... Pure stock, things mentioned above, these LS3 cars are running low 14's--high 13's at best w/ 60 ft.s of 2.0 and higher. W/a computer tune that eliminates some big time torque management, and a awesome-shifting driver, a FEW are running low 13's, which is about the same as the '98-'02 LS1 F-bodies were running--stock. It's my opinion only, that they surely need a strong straight axle rear, w/somewhat down-sized rear brakes,which would solve the problem of putting a decent gear, a lightweight wheel/good-hooking tire on the car, shedding considerable weight at the same time...I don't know, probably GM could care less about us weekend warrior drag racers...Then, who knows, maybe M/T or someone else will start making great hooking 20" drag radials and some will make the IRS setup work...It should be interesting to see who is 1st to have these things flying at the track...just my .02 cents worth, from the land of non-altitude-adjusted et's... Have a nice day.
