  • General Info for Newbie

    I'm lookin at getting a 1996+ camaro rs 5 sp. I was wondering what these car's 0-60 time are. I've seen a bunch of posts saying that it's about 7.4 seconds, but is that for an auto or a manual? I'm looking at getting a v6 because it's still pretty fast and gets good gas mileage! Just wondering, what is the top speed of these cars?
    Thanks all,
    Chris

    7 seconds is about right for a stock V6 Camaro. There is a speed limiter that keeps all our cars from going over 118mph. Hope this helps.

      So it shouldn't be very hard to get into the six's? I'm more concerned with 0-60 than the quarter mile just for the fact that I normally don't go over 70.(normally)lol
      All I'm thinking about doing for now is a CAI, catback, and maybe headers. Anybody have an idea what kind of times that would bring me up to?

      take care,
      Chris

            you must have had the speed limiter removed.

              How did you have the speed limiter removed cass?
              what the crap were you doing going over 118 anyway???

              The manual tranny and the 3.42 rearend geared auto will be about 7 flat 0-60'. the 3.08 geared is probably at least a half second behind.

              as far as mods and 0 to 60, yeah, typical boltons will do you just fine.

                UMM... mine goes over 118 too. I've heard people mention that it's governed at 118 but mine cuts out just below 130(Came from the dealer that way)

                        yeah, I'm definately buyin one, I'm just tryin to find a good deal. A guy I know has a license to buy at dealership car auctions. He might be able to find me a 5 sp camaro for under 3 grand!

                        btw, me and my buddy were arguing about whether 5sp v6 camaros can chirp their tires in 2nd gear(or spin 'em in that case,lol)

                        Peace,
