my birthday is may 27 1994 and i wan to know if this camaro concept will be out by the time i am 16 and how much hp can i get with 40000 i doubt u will no this but what is the time from 0 to 60 on the 400 hp engine.i want the auto and manuel time thanks

 

so u are 14 now right? or 13, something like that.... whatever.

the new camaro will be out and it will probably have an ls2 or ls3 which is 400-430hp. im not aware if the powertrain has been confirmed. there has been a v6 version reported with around 280hp or something like that.

IMO, at 16 i remember how many dumb things I did and how many close calls in cars i had and i was driving a corolla!

im assuming ur parents are going to be buying u a car, do they know ur looking at a 12 second sports car? go for the v6, save urself some money, wait a couple years, and see if you cant upgrade to the v8 when ur 18 or something like that.

 

even the V6 has over 300 bhp. 16 yr olds driving new cars ftl...

 

when I was 16 i had a beat up dodge ram to drive...

its not just your driving skill, its the driving skill of the people you'll have to park next to at highschool, and also thare's alot more immature people in highschool who will try to mess with your car... ESPECIALLY if you have a new Camaro to drive

to answer your question though, i think it comes out in 2010

 

feb. 2009 last i heard. and where are you getting $40,000?

 

over 300 in the v6? thats not what I had heard. i believe liberty or someone posted al ink and it was in the 280s.post up a link to where u saw 300+

 

I've not seen specific HP numbers posted for any engines in the new Camaro, that particular DI V-6 is rated at 304 in the CTS.

"NEW YORK -- General Motors is considering a four-cylinder engine for the new Chevrolet Camaro as a response to rising fuel prices.

Speaking on the sidelines of the New York auto show, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said the drivetrain under consideration for the Camaro is the same high-performance one used in the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky roadsters. It’s a 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder rated at 260 hp. Lutz said that if fuel prices continue to climb, the four-cylinder Camaro could see production.

GM has said it plans V8 and V6 versions of the Camaro but otherwise has been secretive. Lutz confirmed that the V6 version of the Camaro will be powered by the same high-tech V6 used in the Cadillac CTS. It’s a direct-injected, 3.6-liter four-cam V6. In the CTS, the engine is rated at 304 hp.


Low-priced version dropped
In the Camaro, the 3.6 liter’s horsepower should be around 260, Lutz said, Fuel economy, he said, will be around 17 mpg city and 25 highway. That would place the V6 Camaro among best in class for a performance car.

Lutz said GM has dropped plans to offer a low-priced, entry-level Camaro with one of GM’s low-tech V6s. GM will position both the V6 and V8 versions of the Camaro as premium cars compared to the Camaro’s chief rival, the Ford Mustang.

The base model Mustang uses a 4.0-liter overhead-cam V6 rated at 210 hp. The base model Dodge Challenger, due in the fall, will use a 250-hp, 3.5-liter V6.

Most enthusiast attention has focused on the Camaro’s V8 engine, which is likely to be a 6.0-liter with about 400 hp. Lutz said the V8 will have a cylinder cutoff system that shuts down half the engine when the car reaches cruising speed. That will help it get better fuel economy."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, bear in mind that Lutz has a bad habit of mis-speaking and getting numbers wrong, Fbodfather (Scott Settlemire) stated that a lot of numbers were wrong in what was quoted in the last couple of weeks. 6.0 liter V-8 will likely be 6.2 liter. Why would you offer a turbo 4 at 260HP if your V-6 was 260HP instead of 304HP? Some things don't add up. But these quotes were the most recent I've seen.
