The new Camaro website has 0-60 and quarter mile times:

V6 A6: 6.1; 14.5 @ 97
V6 M6: 6.1; 14.5 @ 96
V8 A6: 4.7; 13.2 @ 105
V8 M6: 4.7; 12.9 @ 111

It's interesting that the V6 A6 has a higher trap speed than the V6 M6. Also, I wonder why the V8 A6 falls so far behind the M6 after 60mph.

There are also braking and handling specs:

Braking from 60mph
LS/1LT: 132 feet
2LT: 128 feet
SS: 123 feet

Handling
LS/LT: "greater than 0.75g"
SS: "greater than 0.90g"

I'm skeptical of the LS/LT skidpad number. I think it will be significantly greater than that!

I'm pretty happy about 0.90g on the SS!

I betcha the A6's are trapping lower because of TONS of torque management as seems to be the case with all the V8 cars and trucks lately. That tells me that with a tune, the A6's should come close to matching the M6's, if not beating them (unless you have Evan Smith driving the M6).

Oh, this is gonna be a good thread before all is said and done. 12.9 for the M6.

I agree...a nice tune should really wake these engines up! Now, we have to find out how to do it without voiding our warranties! GM should offer a more aggressive ECM tune like they do with the Ponitac Solstice GXP for something like $650!

That Quarter Mile is just a .10th slower than a old GT500. Its going to up to the driver.

12.9!!!! Most of us KNEW it would be in the 12's. Plus wait until the first minor mods, CAI, tune, exhaust. 12.6 Anyone?

12.9 is pretty good coming from GM.

christianjax

WTF??? 12.9 is pretty good coming from ANYONE. Leave it to a troll. What's a BONE STOCK GT run? HIGH 13's??

yellow_99_gt

Woah take it easy guy. I meant it was pretty good cause there times usually suck. They had the LS1 cars rated in the high 13's.

christianjax

Okay, but with a name like Yellow GT and saying what you said, you have to admit it did smack of troll.

yellow_99_gt

lol I guess I should have changed the s/n when I got my T/A 8 years ago.

christianjax

It's all good.

You mean 2003 Cobra.
They were pulling high 12s in 03/04.

The GT500 (07) is a 12.5 (seen as low as 12.3)

It splits the GT500 and GT.

Very nice times though.

JakeRobb

I was thinking that too, but wouldn't the effects of torque management be noticed primarily at low speeds? Remember, the 0-60 times are the same.

He means that GM is usually very conservative with their published performance numbers. As he later clarified, LS1 Camaros were rated high 13s in the quarter -- 13.8 I think. Most seem to run .3-.5 seconds faster than that in stock form.

Assuming GM hasn't changed their ways, that means that a 2010 SS M6 should be capable of a 12.4-12.6 in the hands of a skilled driver!
