Aside from meatwad owning a 09 Camaro, they will easily hit 10's. The LS3 they will come stock with is going to spec out at 430hp. Add gears and slicks and you'll see 11's. Cam/headers on that (depending on how radical you get with the cam) and you could see 10's.

Could possibly just spray a stock LS3 09 Camaro into the 10's. Then again, the LS3 has just been announced, no idea how much the heads are flowing, or what the cam profile is like. It'll probably have 12* intake ports like the LS7 does now.

Can't wait till GM starts getting serious about VVT geometry with the LSx series engines. The heads have enough flow to support some pretty radical cams, and variable cam technology would let them take advantage of it. They've already got the technology to do variable cam profiles in a single cam pushrod engine, the Viper has been using it for a while.

And how do you think you will first off afford a new Camaro and then second off afford to get it into the 10's before anyone else does. Get real man.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the Camaro WILL NOT BE RUNNING 10s. Why? Does the corvette run them? Not the last time I checked. Factory stock they were running somewhere in the 11's. Chevy CANNOT release a car that will outrun the Vette. Just my prediction. Does that mean that it could not easily go 10's? Absolutely not. Factory stock, don't think so.

i dont think he was tryin to say itll do 10's out of the box....
i think he was saying with simple upgrades such as slicks, intake,nos, and cam would do the trick.
and any average joe could scrape up the coin for that rather quickly

I don't know what average joe's you're talking about can afford to go buy a Camaro and then go buy Slicks intake nitrous kits and stuff. Lol


LSP lots of Khz, Werks .28 8 port.

Revo 2.5, TRX 3.3 Engine, Center Diff. Fast and Turns on a dime.

any one that has a decent job

rough guess on pricing:

drag radials/ slicks = 400.00 pair
200 shot nos kit = 600.00
cam = 200-300.00
cold air intake = 200.00
chip = 200.00
kat back exhaust = 600.00

rough total = 2200.00

if you can afford a 35-45k car, whats 2200 bucks??

You know...I'll tell you from experience dealing with people, and expensive cars.

you tell them that their shits fucked, and they don't want to fix anything.

Alot of people will buy cars they cannot afford to maintain.

I dunno Im 20 and I work for 8 bucks an hour, I don't forsee myself making good money, but that can always change sometime I guess.

Those are just the "image" people who buy the car for the image it represents, not what it can do. Rob and I are referring to enthusiests. Speed junkies, etc... For people who just can't leave stuff stock. I know i can't. Why keep it stock when I can make it faster, handle better, etc... Sure, I don't go crazy, and I am limited by budget. Look at the people on this forum. Sure, we've got our "cheap" stuff, but we've also dumped thousands into the hobby. What sane person would spend a grand on a RC? None of us are sane.

BTW, fastest Z06 i've ever seen. And Ranger is reliable. Bone stock, 11.22 @ 127mph.

Same car on drag radials, no other mods. 10.85 @ 129mph.
