Car Thread!

So anyone hear about the numbers on the new Camaro? The 3.8L V6 is pushing 300+HP and like 270 in torque! Thats pretty good for a V6... Gonna be a bit of a gas guzzler for a V6 though I bet. The V8 is 6.2L I think, and around 420hp with about 370 torque, thats not too bad, mustang beats it though. Independant rear suspension too, altough for drag cars, I am a bigger fan of a Live Axle.

Yeah, pretty good specs and Chevrolet actually hired a designer that didn't have the artistic capabilities of a retard. The Camaro actually looks good. Which speaks a lot for an American car. :p

The only thing I don't like about the new Camaro and Challenger is the curb weight. Both weigh roughly 4,000lbs. :rolleyes: Are you serious? Sure, they are American motoring icons, but you don't need to relate everything to America. They've already pointed out that we love our torque and straight line power, but we don't need them matching their cars to our national obesity problems.

American automakers should take a hint from Colin Chapman. Lightweightedness is next to Godliness. :)
 
How the hell do they make a sports car 4000lbs although thinks like the aston martin DB9 and the nissan GTR weigh in the realm of 3800 lbs so it isnt much heavier than them
Great news! The Dacia Sandero is going to have electronic brake-force distribution!

i honestly thought on sunday when jermey said james had stayed in japan to test a car more suitable for the average UK person he was going to be test driving that

At least the DB9 is pure pornography and the GT-R is a PS3. The Camaro...is a Camaro. It's impressive specs don't hide the fact that it's fat.

Haha, but if he was stayed in Japan to review a car, why would it be that? It's obvious it would be Japanese because...well he's reviewing it in Japan.

Yes i agree the DB9 is pretty good looking and with all the gadgets its clear why the GTR is like 3800lb
i dont know why it was stupid thught cos they are being built in brazil and columbia but i thought maybe there was some link to japan with it
plus the two japanese cars he tested had no relevance to the UK market

Maybe the Japanese "Rolls Royce"? Don't know...but it is Captain Slow.
