autonut: there was a horny-nerd movie some time ago in which a guy went into a bathroom stall with a cantelope.

Badass Z51, if you bothered to read above instead of just looking at the pictures it says the headlights will most likely change for production….

I thing the GM screws up this car already….it killed the look from the concept.

I really want to like this, but i just don’t. I’m just not into the ‘retro’ look. I just hope it’s worth the wait and hype when it gets here.

Oh yeah…I’m really not crazy about white pony/muscle/sportscars/whatever & this car is no exception. Could the car be anymore friggin’ boring looking?

I’m not quite sure what it is but it seems like the pre-production version has lost a bit of “spunk”. I don’t know what it is that is missing. I’m really hoping this is a very rough pre-production car. Let’s hope that GM doesn’t take much away for the translation from concept to production.

and remember people, what we’re looking at is a PRE-PRODUCTION model…

I don’t think that the issue is that it’s taking so long to get out, cause didn’t the first prototype show up in ‘06? I think the problem is that it has just been too overhyped long the way.

And it’s not just a media thing. GM shouldn’t have shown this car in Transformers because it has no way of capitalizing on all the buzz it got there.

GM should use Single headlight instead of the Dual one….it look ugly with the Dual loght.

Seems to have lost some of its appeal between concept and production during the watering down phase to make it more profitable.

DeansterTJ: That’s the GM way nowadays. “Let’s promote cars that we may or may not build 3 years from now. People will think we’re competitive”. Case in point: The Volt, Equinox Fuel Cell, Camaro…ect.

I just saw this thing at the Indy Auto Show again, and it still had the original headlights in it. I wonder what made them change? Either way it looks good. I’d rather have a 2 or 3 car race in the American Muscle category than only 1. Not that I’d buy any of them…

‘deutsche’, chump, you like to modify 4 door sedans … and kids like to modify 4 door Civics, no different. But to believe that your modded S4 in any way compares to this car is further proof of your ignorance. Stick to racing Civics on the street.

Did someone say the United State would probably still be under British rule if not for the French??? Pardon me, soda just shot out of my nose all over my computer. Tell me, did you order a double helping of retard sandwich today for lunch or just get really stoned during history class back in high school?

France did give material aid and support to their enemies enemy (that would be us), but not much else. It was nice, and did help some, but let’s not forget the self-serving reasons why they did it, and how much of a role they played. Even without their support I’m sure we would have eventually crushed the Brits in a few more years (something the French never did do… pussies). But, if the U.S. didn’t gain it’s freedom from the British crown, we’d all be under German rule right now anyway, so this is all a moot point, right?

Nine!?!?!

Fact is, France lost about 10 soldiers “helping” us during the revolutionary war, and we proceeded to pay them back during the 1940’s with about 450,000 of our soldiers lives (including a couple of my grand-uncles). So, any of y’all commenting from Europe… you’re f**king welcome.

So, how about that Camaro? Looks good, huh?

Jeez, the car hasn’t even been finished yet (yet alone test driven) and people are already starting to trashtalk.
If anyone has anything to worry about, it’s Ford. The Mustang is an obvious target and I’d expect the Camaro (and Challenger) to exceed its performance envelope because it’s a known quantity.
As for the headlights, keep them as they are. This car is a dead-ringer for the 1st gen Camaro, long before it degraded in the 70’s and 80’s

GM is just trying to steal some of the thunder away from the Challenger…which is going to have its official debut in about 3 weeks at Chicago. It doesn’t matter though, the Challenger just crushes the Camaro.

autonut: let’s not have a 4-cylinder Camaro.

Commodore: I got my sights set on a GT-R, but I like Camaros.

(V)ike: “Ever seen a self respecting man driving a white V6 mustang?” Come to think of it, hell no! But, My R34 is white, and If I get a GT-R, it’ll be white, too.

deutschetouring1337: Firebird is the mullet car, Camaro the cool one.

autonut: Teens won’t be in this rig.

RicardoHead, C6Racer: some market analysts actually know what they’re talking about.

deutschetouring1337: “And of course Americans forget the French saving our asses during the revolutionary war consdiering without them we would probably still be under British rule.” I agree with the first part, not the second. The Queen’s empire would’ve fallen apart eventually.

Instead of over-thinking it too much, they should just offer three engines they already have: the 260-ish HP 3.6L V6, the 365-ish HP 6.0L L76 V8, and the 430HP 6.2L LS3 V8.

A V6, a regular-gas V8, and a premium-gas V8. That’s basically all bases covered for this kind of car. If a power war kicks off between Camaro and Challenger, they can worry about it then.

On a side note, I bet a Procharger kit for the 6.2L LS3 is just around the corner.

Performance Engine: a detuned (for 87 octane) version of the 6.2L LS3 making 350 HP
Comment by global_lightning

A detuned LS2 makes 365hp (see Pontiac G8) and that’s basically a truck motor. An LS3 should produced considerably more even in a lesser tune (the Escalade’s motor is an 87 octane LS3 and that makes 400hp, so a Camaro LS3 should be no different).

The 02 Camaro and 02 Vette shared an identical LS1 powertrain. Camaro didn’t get access to the Awesome LS6 in the Z06 however.

My belief is that it will have a full-blown LS3 with the engine cover reading “Camaro” instead of Corvette (though leaving the ‘Vette engine cover on would be cool and I’d probably do it myself if it didn’t come that way).

LP640 is right.

The rear end lost a lot of style and has become ugly in the production model.

Wasn’t it 325bhp for the last-gen?

By: CA36GTP

CA36GTP — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:17:06 +0000

I think that regardless of what the exact engine specs are, Camaro will get at least 400. After all, the last-gen Camaro had 350, and that was over 5 years ago.

@CA36GTP:
The LS3 in the Corvette makes 430 HP. If they do offer it from the factory, it would probably be as a limited edition model (call it a COPO?). The unwritten rule is the Camaro may not beat the Corvette’s performance. However, this won’t stop the aftermarket (or even some dealers) from offering such an obvious swap.

“autonut” Actually since you didnt learn history correctly there was this new German offense called “Blitzkreig”. And Poland, France, Belgium, Netherlands were all taken out. But Britain was the one who loved to tought France just gave up since France and Britain love to stick it to each other. Not only that but their were more German sympathizers within Britain than they like to account for. And of course Americans forget the French saving our asses during the revolutionary war consdiering without them we would probably still be under British rule.

“C6racer” You got one thing right, this is not meant for people like me.
