Well, this thing looks awesome!

Its coming with three engines now;


2.0L TURBO
This turbocharged driving force is primed for unexpected levels of refined performance and response thanks to its compact design and the car's lightweight architecture.

6.2L LT1 V8
This reputable small block V8, tailored to satisfy the distinct Camaro spirit, is slated to give the 2016 Camaro SS the highest estimated horsepower of any SS, ever.

3.6L V6
Direct Injeciton and Variable Valve Timing help this proven V6 perform, and if you prefer the new 8-speed automatic transmission, Active Fuel Management comes standard.

Not sure the 4 banger would do the car justice. The LT1 would be a bit of fun though!

I reckon the interior looks fantastic also! Very high-tech Audi-ish. What do you think?

Not reeeeally feeling the C-pillar treatment, smacks a little of Kia/Hyundai, maybe the kick over the rear arches is too high or something. IMHO American muscle should look like an automotive sledgehammer, and this and the latest Mustang aren't working for me when it comes to the rear end.

Therefore I won't buy either. Nothing to do with lack of funds. Honest.

Don't know why anyone would buy the V6, 4 has similar power and more torque.. and that's before you up the boost a tad. I suppose that's why ford australia decided against even offering the V6 mustang here, it also helps with those that the engine has been around for a while, plenty of bolt on upgrades probably floating around and i imagine there will be lots for the turbo Camaro too.

Now if they sold a turbo v6....

they are having the 4cl v6 and v8 mustang here.

lots and lots of cashed up kids will be buying the p plate friendly v6 camaro and mustang.
i work in the holden selling industry and it will be a big deal in v6.

mustang prices are in the 40s-60s on road respecitvly so i imagine the camaro will be a little higher but close to that.

Um no, they're not.

You do have a good point in that neither will be P plate legal, but the 223kw v6 wouldn't be either so there's no real loss there for ford.

Even the turbo 4 Camaro, with its lower 205kw's, would be a power to weight of ~128, which is not legal for a P plate new car in most states if i remember the current laws correctly

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
