Default Anyone raced the 2010 Camaro?

I was just wondering if anyone has come across the new camaro. I haven't seen any in my town yet. I know the preorders have hit the dealerships. I'm ready and waiting lol!

They've got 430hp. I want to race one, but I know I'll get slaughtered. They're trapping 111mph bone stock. That's 5.5mph faster than I trap.

I thought it was a de tuned LS3 and was less than 430 which is what the vette has. I may be wrong.

Hell the V6 might even be a challenge for me. maybe?

Well, maybe I could handle it. Per c&d:

But don’t assume you need to blow at least $31K on the SS to have a good time, as the $23K base model can hit 60 in 5.9 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 14.5 at 99 mph. Unfortunately, we only were able to test the V-6 with the six-speed manual, so stay tuned for a future test of the base car with the six-speed automatic, likely the lineup’s volume seller.

The automatic has 400hp and the 6-speed has 426hp... both are detuned LS3s.

The weight numbers I've read are around 3800lbs... so even though the hp is close with the Vette, it's still a good 500lbs heavier.

well, with your 11.79, i really dont see it being a problem. was that on slicks or street tires?? your 60' is freekin awesome for a fwd. i got a friend with a b20 swapped integra cutting i think 1.8x's on slicks. do you know how much power your car is putting down or have you never had it dyno'd? i love the SRT4's...neon's anyway
