New Camaro ET's

[bigshow2966]

The main difference is that Chevy will sell a bazillion Camaros. Chrysler couldn't give the Crossfires away. SRT 6 is supercharged too.

Bringing a '010 SS automatic coupe up to New England Dragway on Sat. to test (weather permitting). 1st track outing w/car.....so far he's done 3600 stall, headers, and e.f.i. live tuning. The only tire he could get ahold of for the rear brake clearance was a 20" Nitto drag radial....we'll see what this car does w/very low mileage, and stock except for what's mentioned....A little skeptical of the IRS and stock rear axles on this car, but have to start somewhere...

So, what you're saying is that because the Crossfire will be out sold by a bankrupt company, it shouldn't be faster than a new Camaro...great logic!

Yes, the 3.2 SIX cyl is supercharged and put out 330hp and weighs 3220lbs, the Camaro is a fuel injected, multiple valve 425hp V8 and weighs about 400lbs more SO, you feel the 6cyl should be faster....not much faith in the camaro!

Multiple-valve???

You were expecting, maybe, ONE???

LOL!

I have no clue what this ("multiple valve") means....

My apologies, my uni-valve brain misfired...but, actually two is more multi than one! LOL!

Think how simple your valve train would be if you only had one valve....who cares about exhaust...?

[bill dedman]

I tried that, but it kept blowing head gaskets....

Well Jim, I've got just the thing for ya' to stuff in that Mopar. Getcha a blown 3-53 Detroit diesel. Transfer port(like a 2-stroke) on the intake and a conventional valve on the exhaust. Their unique sound earned them the nickname 'Yamaha'.

Ken,

Will it mate up to front wheel drive? The PT needs all the help it can get....where can I but headers for that set-up? LOL!
