Remember that dyno numbers mean close to nothing. You could get a 70whp difference on different dynos, in different conditions.

wow thats pretty weak, 559rwhp and only 12.1 quarter??? im putting down 440rwhp and running high tens with 3:73 gears....what gear ratio do they run in the independent rear end? ive never been a fan of supercharging camaros either.

That might be true, but I still get better gas mileage, and the Celica is less likely to break. Think about it: we live in a throw-away culture. Everything we make, we throw away after we use it. And our cars are no exception.

ryan863 compare apples to apples...if the camaro weighed the same as your matchbox, it would run faster times than your car. your talking shit about a car even though it has more HP than yours, and Im sure you did alot more mods to yours also. Buy this car, shed weight and its faster than yours, period.

whoa whoa whoa now you all forget this is edmunds ..ok 12.1 is slow for this car ..i remember when they tested teh C6 Zo6 a low 11 sec car and they ran 12's with it..they are not the best at abstacting time slips from a car infact i think any 13-15 year old with some good driveng behind them could pull off better times..even with a manual tranny

Its a pretty nice set up... 12.1 in the 1/4 mmm it could be better id still own one some day ill just put a bigger stall and possibley gears and ill have that bitch runnin like a scolded dog!... still id rather drive this than whatever ryan863's wrong wheel drive car any day... that starter in the camaro is probably bigger than your engine hate to say it but hey its life srry u choose import.

Yeah, I think about traction and weight, which is why I drive Japanese and European cars.

Automotive lust in America means blown Camaros. You know, like the red '69s on every cover of Car Craft. A big BDS 10-71 supercharger sticking through the hood and massive M/T drag slicks under tubs in back. Let the rest of the world dream of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and dinky little British two-seaters. In this country speed doesn't look like that.

It looks like this.

This is the Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) "HPE550" supercharged 2010 Camaro SS. That's right, it's a blown Camaro. The first blown 2010 Chevy Camaro. And that makes it the very newest version of a true American icon. Ranks right up there with the Beach Boys, buckets of deep fried chicken and our incomprehensible Internal Revenue Code.

Be proud of it. We Americans invented the greatest car ever: The loud, tire-smoking, V8-powered, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive muscle machine
