Wink Anyone nervous about the new V6 Camaro?

Guess alot of you know by now that the Camaro's 3.6 L V6 makes 300 horsepower and 273 ft/lbs of torque, quite a feat of engineering really. By comparison our 4.0 is still based on old technology. Ofcourse I know my supercharged beauty can more than match those numbers but I'm curious about what people think, given the weight difference and probably a bit of boasting on Chevy's part, how do you think the stock Mustang V6 and Camaro V6 will fare against each other on the streets? Bound to be quite a few confrontations in the coming months.

I hate to say it but there is no way a stock V6 S197 will be able to keep up with a stock 2010 V6 Camaro.

Thats what I'm guessing, cuz California has some right now, but from what I understand...no one else has any. Or has very few. I think they're just seeing how it will sell before GM mass produces them. Either way, we (in Chicago at least) won't be seeing the camaro until October...if possible.

I was thinking about possibly making the switch from Ford to Chevy...but **** that, I love Amber...

There has to be a 2010 Camaro before it can be faster than anything.

But if it ever comes out, yeah it'll probably be faster.

Funny, that picture reminds me of a similar pic of a fleet of EV1 electric cars about to be scrapped by GM...

Chapter 11 bankruptcy dosen't mean they would be out of business.
It would be a "reorginization"

Just got back from a local body shop...Mechanic (he's a Ford guy) says the Camaro has been officially put on hold due to GM's near Chapter 11 status..
