I don't think you guys will have alot to worry about with the Camaro. IMO I think it may weigh more like 3600-3800lbs. though I have heard 450 crank hp on those things. I would expect a high 12's car coming from the factory (12.7-12.9 range)

Don't forget they will be coming from the factory with an independent rear also. I'm sure they'll do what they can to make the rearend as stout as possible, but I don't see them being the 60ft kings that the 4th gens had the potential for being. If you ask me, not offering a solid axle as an option, at least, is a big mistake.

The concept car had 20inch rims if I'm not mistaken.....Not a great weight saver, It seems if any of these Camaro guys want great numbers at the drag strip they will have to pick up a set of smaller rims....unless for some miracle there are 20inch drag tires on the market before the Camaro debuts.........Even then sticky tireswith alot ofpower equals cracked halfshafts....lol

Pffft....4th gens are by no means 60ft kings.... seeing what GM has done with the C5/C6 IRS setups...I have confidence the new IRS setup won't be giving anything up to the 4th gens....

Santa Rosa is a cool town....The 4th street mall is nice, but Coddingtown should have a wrecking ball dropped on it...lol
