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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
