725 HP V8? 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds? Now *that* is what I call a biatchin' Camaro

Nope. Doesn't matter how fast it is, it still looks like a Charger.

It needs to be baby-shiat brown with a primer gray door and quarter panel.

Unless you ran over your neighbors, your Camaro isn't biatchin no matter how much HP you have.

As much as I lust after a 700-hp Camaro, my bikes are still quicker (well, academically anyway; I'm not capable of ripping off the 0-60 or 1/4mi times the testers do).

Now, give me the 1,000-hp TT option and we'll talk.

725 horses and it takes 3.5 seconds to reach 60 mph? Uh...something ain't right.

The driver, likely. The ZR1 Corvette does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with 638hp (per the usual car rags, anyway). I don't know about the weigh on this Camaro (I only skimmed the article), but still.

Yes, you can polish a turd...they did. It is still crap in the same crap catagory as the Mustang or just about anything American built.

Common problem with US built cars- lots of HP, not the best conversion into low-end torque for fast starts. For example, the Porsche 993 911GT2 can pull a 0-60 in 3.3 seconds with 520 horsepower. 205 fewer, faster off the line. Ferrari Enzo? 3.3 seconds, 651 HP. Again, faster with less power.

To get two tonnes to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds requires 375 hp or so.

But in practice, you don't get to use the power when you're changing from first to second, and you only get the rated power when the engine's at optimum revs.

I reckon the Camaro isn't geared to optimize 0-60. They probably reckon 3.5 seconds is fast enough for the soccer-run.

Why pay all that money for a CAR, when you could get a biatchin' pickup truck for less money. And a diesel to boot!

I reckon it could be the six-speed, especially if it takes 3 gears to 60.

Why would it take it three gears to get to 60? Holy crap... My town car's first gear tops out at 40, and second gear at 62, third gear around 80 or 85
