Chevrolet Camaro 2011 Chevrolet
Camaro 1968 comparison test
Carl Casanova divorced and his modified 1968
Chevrolet Camaro, a car that has been done for 30 years, can be fired for things. We Casanova has occurred under this "stuff" is cultivated in most of the days at Imagine. He is, after all, a family man.
Casanova Camaro, however, not by any means. This is now a race track, a little more obsessed with love, rehabilitated, and then hits the machine. This Camaro races in Southern California, works hard to keep it together with the capacity of the cooling and fuel systems under the hood is a supercharged 5.7-liter V8. Yes, the negative camber on each front wheel to the production, processing and ruthless key 3 degrees will exhibit some very talented track car. Yes, 3 degrees. If you're not familiar with, there are a lot of.
And the other Camaro? A Magnuson supercharger and a wide range of chassis parts Hotchkis Sport Suspension is equipped with a 2011 Chevy Camaro. Fusion tires, fair, reputation management, and long hair between the relentless power of owners: His philosophy is basically the same as that of all Camaros.
Nevertheless, consideration of this story is the soul of the Camaro. No, if any - we know it. But more than this is the spirit of a true contemporary example Hotchkis or broken joints built with passion and built by an old one if it is in a new car.
We are sorry, nostalgic show you are already on our way.
Hard Parts of old cars
We were beaten by a new version of the Casanova function similar to that as old as I am sure you can guess what it takes to make a Camaro. A mixture of the parties - including replacement of almost all the original drivetrain or suspension parts - ranks. 2004 Pontiac GTO LS1 V8 Camaro 2002 and originally intended for the Magnuson Hot Rod Kit, compressor and related parts from that.
Casanova did everything - the air-liquid coolant circulation system for the construction site for a set of six indicators used in manufacturing - with his own hands. The rear axle uses a 3.73 final drive ratio, and a limited-slip differential equipped with Eaton Positraction. The six-speed Tremec T56 engine is the same as the fourth-generation Camaro. A C4 Corvette front brake rotors and calipers and the rears are 90-vintage Z28 Camaro. Sealing a Chevy HHR master cylinder system.
And the new car parts
In contrast, the 2011 Camaro, 2010 in Oshawa, Ontario, was a GM assembly line. Then I was stripped of his own resources, Hotchkis, before landing in Southern California dealer turned, stabilizer bars and bushings, Hotchkis components designed to handle all of £ 3925 was replaced by the monster.
Hotchkis and sticky rubber to go together like peanut butter and chocolate, the company Nitto NT05 tires replaced with a rubber stock Camaro. Front and rear, a large-sized 315/35ZR20 275/40ZR20 meats are mounted on BBS CH wheels.
To keep things interesting, a Magnuson supercharger bolted on the 6.2-liter V8 Camaro there. JBA long tube headers and a Flowmaster exhaust through the engine breathes. Made no demand for energy, but it also consists of other fast Camaros us this wheel is somewhere north of 500 power. Fortunately, there is a Centerforce clutch, so putting all that power consumption is not a problem.
Stupid Fast
Common sense, clean drawers, presence of mind: 43 Camaro 12.6-second quarter-mile through the course of a year of scarce items. Of course the rear wheels require a totally believable 490 horsepower.
Sixty miles per hour arrived, and just 4.9 seconds (4.6 seconds with the launch of drag strip 1-foot) went, at which point we had not yet actually wearing a helmet may be necessary. Fortunately, it was not.
Nor was developed at the same time 06.12 seconds and the 2011 Camaro is necessary, but on a 4 mile (116 versus 120.7) and in traps will be lost. Basic skills of turning a new car to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds which the supreme power, (with the launch of 4.4 seconds) reached. Another way to mass plenty of grinding and rear tire will be a few inches.
Very close to call
There is often a matter of 40 years old, going to its modern equivalent - even the mega-hour cubic been committed to the task. However, there are those who went to that track. In fact, around the skid pad, this is exactly what happened. Camaro people 0.91g 0.93g lateral acceleration performance is clearly better than a new car.
Our first-generation Camaro 68.6 mph through the slalom cones 68.1 mi managed to get a new car for. Camaro apparently doubles the rate of speed of the car is very old 12.7:1 Saginaw direction through ball steering box. This is a good thing, but do let us know the value of rack and pinion steering.
Finally, the location of ABS has no time to stop. These are both below 60 mph when the sixteen meters (127 feet versus 111 feet) apart. This test is, as expected, dropped in favor of a new car.
These figures are not
Let's be honest. Modern Camaro, a car that originally triggered the emotion. To test this, we took the car for a day together and lean people followed. An observer in the middle of shooting took her Civic - just ignore the shooter and the upcoming Camaro Orange - Casanova LS to discuss details of transformation, or even ask you to start the engine. Another viewer also old enough to recall the laws of most states close to the dangerous stalker Altima Coupe car drove him unconscious. Ended with a fear-inducing gaze at the end of the "look ma, no hands!" Two thumbs up greeting. 79 mph.
And so bitchin 'that goes with Camaros.
There is a reason for this. Above all, we think the hardware provided. You want to be a legend, and the other. And it's working. And some of them back to the qualities that make myths resurface old car and crawl. The modern car is a desperate thing -. The pencil-thin pillars and elbow in a commanding view over the hood, as the door frame again easily adopted infusion protest their entire body turns in modern power.
Mechanics of a successful merger of old and new is a product of sincerity here. Style, visibility, simplicity roma manual - ruins of old times. But too often prevents us from embracing things old car - meaning without control value, reliability hopeless stench of fuel - and thankfully not significantly. Instead, modern, fuel-injected, supercharged lump unscrew the rear of the car, each time, was prepared. And spinning wheels, yaw rate and steering angle on the right foot with a cable connected irrelevant - just as God intended.
In other words, is good.
Ethos Camaro
We've already said that car we like. Could not do it - so far - failed to inspire the modern extension Camaro explain. Definitely not slow, not that. On the contrary, it is then avoided that the machine is a combination of lust one. Small but harmful to the basics
Being able to see through it does not help, but this is not enough to send us running is not. Maybe we can do everything possible to quickly dig shifter tenacious to resist. Or maybe it was the center of the steering wheel or the relentless drift - even this modified car. Heck, even the orange paint.
No, wait. It is one of those things. In fact, these are nitpicks against pony car fully capable. What really bothers us here: Modern Camaro - any modern Camaro, in fact - every inch of this machine of 43-year-old patina that oozes character, devoid of passion and purity.
Well, this, and this may be the end for us or our business or our marriage has yet to inspire you to do something.
