Its a V6 Camaro. Don't get your hopes up. These cars weren't made for power. They were made for ppl who wanted to drive a Camaro but didn't want a gas guzzler.

Its gonna be a one-legger but you shouldnt have any trouble, my old 2.8 Camaro lit that tire right up and had no trouble leavin a 75ft strip afterwards. Put your trans in 1st gear when you do it tho otherwise it will try to shift into 2nd and die out then drop back into 1st and do it all over again. Good luck!

hey look at it on the bright side, when you want to show off just put that side facing the people, then when the summers over, you only need one tire instead of two. ive already burned through 300 dollars in rear tires in my maro in about 5k miles.
