The 2010 Chevy Camaro SS officially lapped Germany's Nurburgring in 8:19. How does this stack up to other GM products? As you can see, the new Camaro SS is quicker than the Pontiac G8 GXP around the 'Ring but, predictably, slower than both the Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1. At a fraction of a cost it's hard to complain about the performance.

Pontiac G8 GXP: Around The Ring In: 8:30
Camaro SS: Around The Ring In: 8:19
Cadillac CTS-V: Around The Ring In: 7:59
Corvette ZR1: Around The Ring In: 7:26

i want to know how it did against the cobalt - as i recall it was quite comparable.

[MP81]

Cobalt SS did it in 8:22.

So, yep, the Camaro beat it.

And it's pretty close to the CTS-V, considering it has about 150 less horsepower, haha.

All of those vehicles are pure bad ass, though - Cobalt SS included.


...and the ACR Viper that "beat" the ZR1 is not stock...

Cobalt SS did it in 8:22.

So, yep, the Camaro beat it.

3 seconds is hardly anything to brag about from camaros standpoint

[99SSRhodes]

ill be the first to admit that the camaro should have beat it by more but ive been to the ring twice and 3 seconds is a big differance

the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 did it in 8.23
the Lotus Exige S is 8.25
and the damn Porsche Cayman S did it in 8.10 wtf lol

Exactly

Yes in 'ring time' that is alot but for Joe Consumer thats terrible. $10,000 price difference, drives the rear wheels, sole purpose of this kind of stuff and it only gets 3 seconds better with a professional driver?

That means that the Camaro is a let down, or the Cobalt SS/TC is a technological marvel....Im going with the second one.

Notice you dont see the Civic, RSX, or any of the other ricer style cars up there.

Caddy's didn't use to come with 500 hp...

You guys remind me of the consumer groups that are rating the Silverado down because it "only" has front and side curtain air bags but not the lower thigh air bags. Regardless of the fact that it was a big deal that now they have the side curtain airbags but now it's "just not enough" and needs to do better. I think they did a great job with those times and that it's a pretty respectable time.

No they were rated at 400hp while the SS and WS6 of earlier years were rated at 325. Now the caddy has 550hp rating and the SS camaro 422hp I still think 3 seconds on a 12 mile track is only a slight difference guys.

Well it still holds it's reputation for being a true muscle car.

[JoeliusZ28]

18 seconds better than a C5?

now thats crazy for both the cobalt and the camaro 8-O

[MP81]

Yeah - you have to remember: The Cobalt weighs less than 3000 pounds, has only 140 less horsepower, and handles amazingly for a FWD car...it all makes sense - the car screams.

I'd take the Camaro, though.

how can anyone compare a cobalt to a camaro cobalt's are beefed up cavilers
