Guess-timate on hp
Bought the car this way, but no specifics on what the HP is. What would you guess the HP to be with these mods and a proper tune?
2000 coupe (manual)
* Vararam Cold Air Intake
* Ported LS6 Throttle Body
* Ported LS6 Air Intake Manifold
* 205cc AFR Heads Decked and Ported
* 120 Degree Thermostat <- maybe a typo, 160? not 100% sure
* Kook Headers
* 230/232 Cam Shaft
* Corsa Off-Road X-pipe
* Corsa Pace Care Muffler
That is all I know about the mods.
A family member just bought a 650hp 2010 camaro... would I get smoked in a race?

Doesn't the new Camaro weigh like 5000lbs loaded with a driver and fuel? It'll need that 650hp to keep up?
Edited to add: I just goggled it and it weighs 3780lbs not as big a pig I thought it was. But when it's parked next to mine it looks like a freight truck.

I agree with Jay.
Your car probably has < than 450 rwhp (~500 flywheel hp).
The camaro would definitely smoke you even with the huge weight disadvantage.
However, it may be a nice race.
Make sure to buy some sticky tires before attempting to validate that theory.

You'll have 435+hp at the wheels and I'm sorry to say that yes, you would be seeing nothing but taillights from that Camaro.

Thanks for all the replies.
I was never a huge fan of the camaro, but his does look and sound bad *** after the upgrades. He's got ~50K in his car, i purchased mine for ~17K. I would hope a 10 year newer car with 650hp would beat me
BTW, this is the package he has:

He's pushing 650-15% = 550rwhp about a 110 hp more at a much bigger weight of over 500-700lbs.......I dunno...he's gonna maybe beat you, but certainly not by much. Tell him not blink when you guys run, cause he may lose.
