We'd much rather see Megan Fox doing this in the complete opposite direction, but we still feel a little dirty watching the 2010 Camaro put its clothes on and we now feel better for it. [via GM]

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.

Yes, we know it's our second Camaro post of the day, but come on, if there's one thing a muscle car deserves a post on is a 0-to-60 time. Now of course those numbers are GM's official numbers, so take 'em for a grain of salt until the buff books bang the new mullet-mobile away themselves on the drag strip. Still, for the moment, that's a pretty amazing number considering how hefty of a beast the new Camaro is. But with 426 HP with the stick and 400 HP with the auto tranny, that's not too shabby at all.

We're wondering how the 300 HP V6 will manage on the strip ourselves.

You won't be able to get any driving impressions out of us until 6:00 PM EST Friday, but for the moment we can report the EPA has officially rated the V6 Camaro at a Muscle Car War-topping 29 MPG on the highway. For the big ol' V8, as you'd expect, the fuel economy's a bit lower, but still an impressive 16 MPG in the city and 24 on the highway. So here's how all three muscular muscle cars from Detroit officially stack up:

2010 Chevy Camaro V8 (SS): 16 MPG City, 24 MPG Hwy V6: 18 MPG City, 29 MPG Hwy

2009 Dodge Challenger V8 (SRT8): 13 MPG City, 18 MPG Hwy V6: 17 MPG City, 25 MPG Hwy

2010 Ford Mustang V8 (GT): 16 MPG City, 24 MPG Hwy V6: 18 MPG City, 26 MPG Hwy

What else do we know? Here are Wes's notes from the non-embargoed part of the event — including an estimated 0-to-60 time of 4.7 seconds on the SS. Yowza!:

Heck, now Automobile shouldn't even try their muscle car comparison they're setting up on the West Coast — they'll just get beaten to the punch by the forums. Why even try anymore? We're just happy to know someone got the exclusive on it — and it wasn't AutoWeek. Still, we're thinking we should be expecting a few less breathless and more in depth reviews to be coming in the next couple of months. [CamaroZ28]
