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.

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

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..
Anyone nervous about the new V6 Camaro?
