Probably the best gift you can give to a U.S. metal aficionado this season is a 2016 Camaro SS, with these muscle machines having recently started reaching their owners. And if that aficionado happens to work for an aftermarket developer, you’ll be in for quite a ride throughout 2016.
We’re not sure if this is how the crew over at Lingenfelter Performance got their hands on a 2016 Camaro SS, but we can confirm the Chevy has landed in their shop. No, really, we have no doubts about that, especially after the tuner published a video showing the first step of the program it's working on.
Yes, we’re referring to the stock engine dyno run and you can see the rolling road shenanigan in the footage below.
While Lingenfelter hasn’t announced its plans for the Camaro Six, we can look at what it's done for the C7 ‘Vette in order to get an idea on that - those of you who have been camping away from the Internet for the last year or so need to be reminded the Camaro SS borrows the Corvette’s 6.2-liter V8.
In stock form, the heart of the Camaro SS delivers 455 hp (461 PS) and 455 lb-ft (617 Nm) of twist, but we can expect the aftermarket company to almost double that output.
For one thing, their packages for the Corvette’s LT4 take things up to 1,000 hp, with the help of a twin-turbo package. As for what Lingenfelter has done for the fifth-generation Camaro, it took the SS up to 800 ponies, while the ZL1 kits reached 835 hp.
