I hate to burst your bubble, but the Camaro is more Australian than American.

So can they make a turbo model with the LNF instead?

The best part of CrackerHemi’s statement was, “you don’t know any grammar” Someone take a screenshot and make an EPIC FAIL poster.

CrackerheadHemi: I really think HRR is a windup merchant. Not to say I hate him; the entertainment value is good.

However, the comma he used in this thread (not sure about the others) was not ill place, unlike your comma before the “and” was.

That is all.

Why the hell is anyone worried there is no Z28? Come on, the last gen Z28 had only 280hp for a 5.7l V8, then it was bumped to like 305 before it died out. It also was so pathetic that the 4 speed auto was standard on a vehicle like that.

Damn, it has just as much hp as the old Viper. Why is it that no one realizes how stupid they sound when OMG it only has 400-450hp?

If you want the LS8 engine, get a Corvette. It is quite sad that the only reason the Camaro exists is due to the retro Mustang.

Look, I know you have to pass Grampa in his Toyota Avalon, but jeez.

Ok well I’m not too sure that the Camaro Z28 is dead now… It still shows that there’s two V8 engines in the Camaro’s production schedule… The 6.2L V8 LS3, and then there’s still another 6.2L V8 codenamed the” L99″ So that has to still be the LSA right? I don’t know what the “L99″ is but it’s a 6.2L V8… So I don’t know…

The next Camaro thread will likely be “GM to come out with
Camaro Hybrid with Prius mechanicals”!

Wait a second. The Z28 has always been a step DOWN from the SS, hasn’t it? The SS (the last generation SS, anyway) has always been an add-on/addition to the Z28.

good riddens to bad overly publisized rubbish, anyone who likes the camaro is a floower, no one really think s this car with its 90s concept design is nice, when they think about it, and they waited to long to release this ugly thing, by the time this car comes out transformers 2 will be out, and something new will catch eyes…your all so ****ing dumb

to crackerhemi GM has the 2 mode hybrid that is suppose to be doing very well and the entire layout of the system is genius(excluding the engine) so yes that system should be able to boost the stock up couple dollars unfortunatly its not being recognized enough thanks to honda and toyota. So, 400horseSS i would hold on to those stock if u hav a lot i would take some out but definetly keep some in ther. sorry for the lack of commas

You are calling me stupid, 400horseSS? You are the idiot who bought GM at 40 bucks thinking it was a bargain! What is worse is that you still have that stock!!!

Well it sort of makes sense in a way…you would have 3 coupes with the same engine…Corvette, The CTS coupe V and then the Camaro. Maybe it was more that just cost and fuel in this case, possible they could not produce enough of these motors to support all 3 cars…just a thought.

The Camaro is way past due. This thing has been in the works for almost 5 years. Is GM crazy? This thing should of dropped 2years ago. There definately going to charge over sticker for this thing. I dont think the performance meets the hype. Quite dissapointing GM but what else is new, right? You still have the volt and cruze coming HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No Z28 huh GM, thats real f#cking stupid, thats why my stock has dropped $33 since october, what a bunch of jackoffs.

People who purchase or are in the market for the model with the S/C 6.2L V8 aren’t (or shouldn’t be) worried about gas prices. They should release the Z28 (or whatever they’re going to call the model with the S/C 6.2L V8) but charge a higher premium for it. Instead of a base price of $45k-$50k, they should start pricing at $60k-$75k. The baby boomers will buy it, but just make sure to slather leather all over the interior like the upgraded interior package offered on the Corvette. GM: This is a way to make even more money off the Camaro. Target the baby boomers who f’d over generations X and Y.

The execs at GM are idiots. There’s a reason why their US business is in a steep dive. The Camaro should’ve already been out. I want the new Camaro, but I hope it flops to teach the GM execs a lesson.

Well that settles it. Now I get a new crotch rocket. I’m not going to lay out a bunch of cash for an SS, only to have them come out with a real hot Z28 a few years later. It’s happened to me before. Oh well, the bike goes zero to 60 in less than 3 seconds. That’ll just have to do…

This is simply a reaction by GM to the constantly changing
market that is being forced driven by the high price of fuel.
This trend will continue with all manufacturers and all drivers
will have to downsize to new realities of high fuel and a 35MPG
CAFE standard. In other words…stay tuned…more to come.

Even the idiots running GM these days are not stupid enough to not bring out a Z28. What happened? Did they not think they could get enough copies of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s greatest hits to fill the glove boxes of these new camaro’s? It was bad enough GM decided not to put T-Tops in this generation of Camaro….but no Z28….are they insane? The next head line on LLN will be no life time supply of Bud Light with the purchase of a new Camaro; then the car will be relegated to just being a rental car.

Well, the Z28 name can go on the regular V8 model now. Just like it should be: Mustang GT vs. Camaro Z28 vs. Challenger R/T.
