New Competition? 2012 Camaro V6 bumped to 325 or 330 hp
 

Looks like Chevy is trying to get competitive, figure they are still too heavy to compete directly as much though (and still fugly):

2012 Chevy Camaro to Get New LFX V6 With Around 330-HP (The Torque Report)

Report: New LFX V6 Engine for 2012 Camaro | 2011 Camaro Z28 Camaro forums, news, blog, reviews, wallpapers, pricing - Camaro5.com Blog Archive

all this time i thought camaro's had a V8... wtf is a V6 camaro? sounds too un-american.

Its the version that sells in mass quantities so the V8 versions can exist. :)

There is still a +400 lb weight penalty for the Camaro so unless you are a terrible driver you won't be bested by one.

its funny reading the forum replies about how amazing that a v6 is producing that kinda power, lol but when the Z did it, its bash city...what a bunch of tools

Meh

Well HP per liter is a crock in general. It all depends on how far the manufacturer is willing to push the engine.

Agreed, I am not worried about them unless they get that motor and drop a good 300+ lbs all of the sudden.

Uh...
Competition...?
Do you even know how much that car weighs?
lol!
So basically you're saying that the heavy camaro with a V6 is rival.
I don't think so...
A V8 is equal or a little bit faster in a straight compared to a 370z.
V6 I think not.

It is still close enough to where you can't be a crappy MT driver and still beat it. :D

There was a time not so long ago when the fastest American-made production car was sporting a V6.

Grand National?

Simmer down yo, read the posts, the car is obviously heavier and all. Nobody said you were not the fastest and most furious. :nutswinger:

If he wasn't furious before, he will be when he reads your post.:icon18:

To be honest its needs a bump. its a full second behind a v6 mustang and a second + behind a Z,that 20 horse power or so wont make up that difference so im not scared

easy for you to say mr 5.0 :)
