    Note the Hood Scope...

    This is the Fourth Gen Camaro SS


    It's got 335 horsepower (with the dual-dual exhaust option that the car is fitted with) and 350 lb-ft of torque. What does that mean? Here's where it works out on paper. Acceleration times are scorching. It reaches 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. It's 0-100 time is 11.8 seconds. It completes the 1/4 mile in 13.25 seconds at about 109 m.p.h. I hate to disappoint all of the Porsche Boxter, SVT Cobra Mustang, & Ferrari 355 Spyder owners out there, but those numbers will have me waiting for you guys at the end of the 1/4 mile, with about a quarter or a half of a second to spare for perhaps a little chuckle on my behalf. The SS's acceleration numbers are pretty much the same as the Porsche 911 Carrera 4, except youll be savoring an additional 5 miles per gallon highway. It gets 19mpg city/ 28 highway. Pretty amazing for a Chevy V-8, Id have to say. Just for your reference, the Ferrari 355 Spyder can be yours for the tune of $137,000. The $30,000 window sticker on THIS car just puts the icing on the cake.

    The '02 Camaro SS handles as if it is on rails, the power that it has to offer (pretty much anywhere in the R.P.M. range) leaves nothing to be desired, and the 6-speed manual transmission with the Hurst "short-throw" shifter is matched beautifully with the car's LS-1 5.7 Liter 350 C.I. V-8 engine. It's power isn't either "on or off" either. It's fairly difficult to get the car to lose control unless you want it to. It's extremely well balanced. The cars slalom speeds and braking distances say a lot as well. This car is just an all-around win-win Sports Car.

    So on that Note I Call This Thread :bs:

    the b.s call is probably right on this one. or it was a v-6 camaro with an ss badge and "dual" exhausts. or maybe this guy can just drive the heck out of his car. who knows, but i'm leaning towards :bs: :bs:
