Mods
for some odd reason i have a feeling gm has something really restricted on the new camaro.. like a really restrictive exhaust or air intake.. the car isnt going to be much faster then a 02 ss .. so i think there is something holding it back alittle what do you guys think..

Weight hurts, obviously...but the LS3 SS is expected to be a 12.9 car. Not terrible and I don't know how many stock LS1 cars can do that, and if they can or get close, they are factory freaks.

I'm thinking intake, exhaust and a good tune will do wonders for it! You ever see the gains from a Sierra Denali 6.2 engine? MAJOR difference!

Just a CAI and a tune on a G8 GT will gain over 30hp. We'll have to see what the LS3 & L99 can gain. Take a look at a Corvette forum for LS3 gains.

Heck, I built a whole new site dedicated to modding my car. http://www.phantomss.com
I will still post updates here, though.

Ditto - and no stock LS1 4th gen ever hit 111 mph in the 1/4 mile.
This "it's not much quicker than a 4th gen" talk is being thought about the wrong way - it's commentary on how good the 4th gen was, not commentary on how "slow" the 5th gen is. Basically, don't be upset because of how screaming fast a stock 4th gen was. Fact is a 98-02 V8 F body is can still hang with a 2009-2010 Mustang GT. And then the 5th gen comes along and drops the 0-60 time to 4.7 (which no stock 4th gen did) and lays down what appear to be reliable, repeatable 12s at 111. That's fast and quick.
