GM performance targets
GM performance targets
This may be old info, but I have come across the GM performance targets for the Camaro.
These are only targets. They are not the actual performance figures.
0-60 time 6 speed auto:
Camaro LS/LT – 7.5/5.8 sec
Camaro SS – 4.5 sec
0-60 time 6 speed manual:
Camaro LS/LT – N/A
Camaro SS – 4.8 sec
It also had some HP figures:
Camaro LS/LT – 296 HP w/HFV6 SIDI
Camaro SS – 390-395 w/auto
Camaro SS – 415-420 w/manual
Composite handling index:
Camaro LS/LT – 1.63
Camaro SS – 1.50
It is interesting to note that the auto is faster even though the manual has more HP. I am a little confused on that one.

Where'd that price info go? Black suburbans get you already? 
If it's a true source, I'd be interested to know why the V6 model's acceleration times vary so much, and also why a manual for it isn't listed.

I already think this car will be a winner, but if the performance and price targets shown are met fairly closely it should great.
I really do wonder about the times in V6 trim, and the seeming lack of a manual for it.

The 27k you posted for the SS seems to be a little better than what everyone was expecting. I'll be very happy if they meet that particular goal!
I believe I've read the 1st gear in the 6speed auto is brutal compared to the manuals. I don't think there would be more than a tenth or two at most.
I missed the pricing info that was posted, apparently it got edited out.... But if the SS is around 27k I would be freakin stoked!
But they actually had different cams for auto and manuals back then, I wonder if we would see this return, i doubt it but that would be something.
