Well, the instrucions say that the meter reads about 10-15HP LOWER than what a dyno would say b/c the meter takes into account wind drag, etc. It says you should do five runs, throw out the worst reading and the best reading, then take the average of the three you have left. I threw out a 218 for the worst and a 228 for the best...my average of the remaining three was 220, which would put my car at 230-235HP on the dyno. It seems kind of high to me too, but I don't know.

Kick my ass? Maybe with NOS, a Turbo or some supercharger and other mods.

I think you're in the wrong forum buddy!

yeah, suuuuuuuuuuure
"3.1 V6 140 bhp.
5.0 V8 170 bhp. "
-Musclecarclub.com
those arent very impressive numbers, even from the V8! although of course i know the V8 puts out around 245 torque!, but still, your prolly not gun come anywhere near us with your v6 camaro buddy!

Ya know, I have always thought of the Camaro as just a stripped down Firebird. Either way though, they don't make them anymore. So ya can't really brag about something if sales were so bad that they had to pull the plug.

Soon your camaro will be in the Camaro grave yard, just a memory. And your kids will see a mustang drive by and you will say, " I used to own this other car that would kick that cars butt, it was a Camaro! And your kids will say " Daddy, whats a Camaro!"

Actually, Camaro will be highly sought after collector cars. They are definitly getting pricey. Not a V6 but the Z-28, IROC and SS are as are Firebirds and lets not talk about Trans Am.

my friend who owns an 87' mustang LX I4, is going to buy this awesomely nice 87' camaro 5.0L V8 TPI... brand new paint, (cool blue with white hood accents) and new exhaust, and shifter, for 3 grand, collectors car? no, but this one is in otherwise mint condition (other thatn being slightly modded)
around her your car would be worth maybe 1500 camarors, and some old grandma would be your only buyer!
my grandmas v6 camry could pull your camaro!

I'm not a Camaro fan either. At least nothing after 1971ish. The last SS were nice and made gobs of power. But I'm a Stanger at heart. That's why I have two. I was thinking of picking up a V6 as a toy.

i was going to say that the V6 had plenty of get-up for a car, but coming from owning 2 cobras, it might not be so much of a blast to you! lol

Ok, First of all. I had a 1991 Z28 Camaro with a 5.7L TBI, and my new mustang would have it by about a carlength. And the V6!?!?!? don't even get me started on that, I went to the track against one and owned it by over 2 seconds....no way in hell that thing has ANY power.

Yeah, I don't mean to offend anyone because of the Cobras. I respect all stangers, I've seen some bad V6's and 4s

Well, I only had to put in the weight for the horsepower measurement...which I put in 4000 even b/c I was pretty sure that was correct..unless I got the wrong numbers off the door panel.. Entirely possible. Also, I don't have the $260 unit, I just have the basic G-Tech....it's the model that looks just like a radar detector but even smaller. As far as RPM tests go.... I wasn't aware I was supposed to do any. Guess that might explain alot huh? Oh, and :OT: but for the record, to the guy with the Slowmaro....my V6 Stang has beaten three different IROC-Z's....I doubt that your six could beat them...much less me. Not trying to brag, just stating the facts.

this is not a camaro forum, and if a camaro is so great, where is the 04 camaro, oh wait, they dont make them anymore , and if you did some research, you would discover that v6 mustangs are faster than v6 camaros, and if you want to run a v6 mustang with your 92 camaro, look me up, i have a V6 stang i know you have no chance at even getting close to running with, much less beating

Well thats the reason your hp numbers are off, your car weights in at like 3000, not 4000. Ill sell you a new gtech cheap. I never use mine anymore...lol

....I see. Guess I need to try again with the new settings...thanks alot. As for the Gtech offer, I just got this one about a month ago. As strapped for cash as I am right now, I'm going to have to save up just to get some gas to put in the car to try the new setting out... But I'll keep your offer in mind.
