The LT1 with a possible 460hp has been confirmed.

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-30-2015, 11:07 AM

It's been DECLARED!!! The Camaro WILL BE at LEAST 200lbs lighter!!!

That means a 3400-to 3500lb v6 4 seat coupe
Or a 3500 to 3600lb v8 4 seat coupe.

With 460hp 3600lbs, a well balanced chassis and GM's impeccable suspension tuning as of late... The Camaro as a performance entry is full of win!!!!!

Here's a first drive review of the ATS coupe as a "general reference guide" to see how the alpha chassis promotes an excellent handling platform.

The camaro should supercede the cadillac in handling.

1982 Camaro vs Mustang. Throwback review

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...89381419,d.aWw

its an independent leaf spring suspension. More advanced than mustangs live axle. there is a long single brace under the car that may look like a live axle but the leaf springs on the wheels move indepently.

IRS came later but they werent live axles after the C2 camaro.

Where does it say IRS? rear coil suspension doesn't mean IRS...I would take it from car guys that have had these cars it didn't have IRS in the 80's, or the 90's. 2010 was the first year for IRS.

Dude do you know what a IRS is? "C" cars like the C2, C3 you are talking about are Corvettes, they had IRS, the Camaro did NOT.

you're right... leaf suspension is not technologically the IRS but its not as crude as live axle either. for all intents, it is an independent suspension though. But not as advanced as the 4 links and above IRS of today.

I stand corrected bro... the independent leaf suspension was up front and the camaro had the live axle in the back.

The Camaro ZL2 is being tested, a 396ci Turbocharged V8 that will weigh in the 3,600lb range and the entry level car, that will be in the 3,400lb range... If this is true, I think mustang will have a hard time recovering this generation. With this type of News... I'm sure Ford is hard at work created some salvagable fixes for there bloated chassis and lackluster performance pkg.
The ZL2 is getting high end composite material for the paneling as wel in other areas of the car. The Camaro 6 will definitely be, a force to be wreckoned with

"With the snails and the space, the new LT6 small-block provides more torque than even the Z06 Corvette’s 650 lb-ft LT4, yet still allows for high-revving fun—as titanium rods, valves, and keepers reduce both reciprocating and valvetrain weight. We’ve heard that the LT6 uses twin Garrett GT3776 55mm inducer turbos, each good for up to 500 hp. The number we were quoted from an anonymous Pontiac, Michigan, dyno operator was 808 hp at about 8 pounds of boost. We’ve also heard from a supplier that the high-pressure, direct-injection fuel pump from the LT4 will be carried over and additional fueling at WOT comes from an extra set of injectors mounted way upstream to help cool the intake charge. Cylinder heads are the same casting as the LT4, but are CNC ported, a practice gleaned from Chevrolet Performance’s LS3 cylinder-head package for the fifth-gen Camaro."

The turbos can hold 500hp each and the ZL2 is supposed to be high revving 808 wild horses... Amazing!!!

Great to post news like this immediately after someone calls the Camaro...

"American Garbage"

I think owning both a Z and a camaro are in my cards instead of going high end? It's so hard to decide!!!
