Well most people know that the Z28 Camaro with the LT1 engine (1993-1997 like mine) makes alot more hp then the factory quotes it at: 275. Due to either insurance reasons, or so it doesnt steal thunder from the corvette... or both. But how much is it really underrated? I found a site that gives an equation to approximate your 0-60 times. It is as follows:
[WEIGHT OF CAR IN KILOGRAMS/(HP*.09)]. I did a few tries with varying hp figures until I got 5.4 seconds 0-60 which it is quoted for on many websites. I have also done this with my camaro (5.3 actually... but it has a few mods). So I think the camaro is probably underrated by 50 horsepower. Which would put it at about 325 horsepower. Thats what the factory rates the newer SS camaros with the LS1 engine at... They are most likely underrated as well.
