INteresting if true...

Hope they put it on a diet...cause if you think the SS weighs a lot...
This sucker is heavier...

 

itd be pretty pig-ish

 

should weigh comprable to the SVT Raptor

 

I'm a bit skeptical, the rendering on autoblog.com has "jinx" in the corner. But, I dunno could be real.

 

 

Agreed!

 

Raptor

 

They'll show a concept at SEMA, and it'll come out in 5 yrs. Then the driveshafts will break as you drive it off the lot

I'll take '11 Al S/C 5.4 GT500 please

 

Over 4000lbs...

Unless they give it the carbon fiber treatment... but even then you can only shave off so much...

 

its back on?

so I guess the GM engineers finally fixed the electrical after how many years?

 

Before this ever sees a dealer's lot, Mustang is going to be beating it.

 

If that is true, I wonder what Chevy will sacrifice on the Altar of Reliability this time since there's not much left from just getting the regular ones built... Never mind the 550HP, I shudder to think how much more weight a supercharger and its supporting hardware will add to the front. Even if Chevy somehow manages to substantially reduce tonnage by miraculously revising the calipers and their need for weights, it still wouldn't be enough. GM fanboys seem to forget what happened when the '05 Mustang GT went up against the '05 GTO. And with a aluminum block GT500 looming on the horizon, it'll only get tougher.

 

JINX is a poster on Camaro5 he does renderings like that all the time, thats not an official rendering

 

That car needs 550hp just to feel fast. I can not believe how slow this car feels stock when driving it. I have heard of more people with buyers remorse with this car than Mustang or Challenger as after a couple of wks they are not impressed.
Chevy better think twice before offering that money back guarantee.

 

When everything else on the car fails, throw more horsepower at it argh argh argh!
because horsepower = quality

 

Rumored to hit 2 tons. CTS-V is currently pigging out at around 4300lbs. They had estimates of slashing maybe 200/300lbs. And 'still hit 1320 times in the mid 12s..'

I'll wait a week before Fritz throws a hissy fit (again) at Ed and Max-Bob and cans the program entirely. "I DUN LAIK REBADGING GUISE!!!" Remember what happened with the G8/Caprice scandal..

:facepalm:

 

I've seen CTS-V 1/4 mile times low to high 12s. With the same engine and being a tiny bit lighter, I'd imagine a Z28 being slightly faster than the GT500. This years GT500, anyway . And that's if the car holds together.

 

The CTS-V does a much better time then you would expect from its power to weight compared to the GT500.

It weighs a lot more and only has 10 more hp yet it runs faster in all the magazines i have seen then the GT500.

 

I think it's safe to assume that they aren't using the T6060 "Camaro Edition" trans.. Pray they just throw the T-6060 off the Vette and problem solved. But more likely than not we'll see a variation of the CTS-V drive line grafted into the Zeta Camaro (updated to take care of all those..'problems') . That rear diff though.. could be a problem; easily rectified with using a CTS-V rear end.

Bright side to all the headaches? At least it won't get serious RustyButt like the '10 GT-500s have been getting. Ran out of epoxy there? Christ.. embarrassing.

 

Z28 isn't like anything new here... it was shelved...
So its not like they are JUST starting from scratch.
