captain put put needs to brush up on his english. don’t forget the sculptors!

holy hotness

I would love to have numbers to crunch on for this thing… this is still in between the concept and production form though so I guess we won’t know performance for a while
I hope they stick a high performance small V8 (like 4.8 liters but around 75 hp per liter, giving it around 360 hp but since it isn’t a huge engine, it wouldn’t guzzle that much. And paired with the cylinder deactivation technology I would actually believe this car would get 30 mpg. But with a large V8 like 6.0 liters it would probably only get 60 hp per liter (just guessing from comparable engines) and I wouldn’t believe it got 30 mpg even with CD). Also I hope they put a good V6 in it, like the one in the Mustang but only more powerful (like 240 to 260 hp). That would be AWESOME
I still don’t like the way it looks. In my opinion it looks sort of bulky and big

the man needs to hush and lrts hear that engin woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

sign camaro king

Enough Already, how to bore the consumer and make the product feel old 3 years before launch

That guy doesn’t look like a designer to me

the rear view mirrors look useless, that guy has a nasty gold ring and no style. Never trust a guy that wears a hat whilst driving.
He is no designer he is a manager of designers and a salesperson. He is the mouth, he didn’t have a clue about body graphics or proportion and form

Camaro is absolutely georgeous and awsome !!

Enough with Camaro postings by LNN!!! They are gonna produce the car. Thats it. I don’t wanna see more camaro headlines on LNN every single day till 2009. SOO SICK OF IT!!

It looks fine to me.. However can’t they bring it out BEFORE 2009 … Jeeeezzzz it’ll already be old news by then..

the camaro looks too much like a concept car cant wait for the actual production car tho.

The new Camaro leaves me emotionally flaccid

SEE THE OLD BUICK Y JOB CONCEPT IN THE BACK AT THE BEGINNING?

Put the 4.2 liter Inline six motor from the trailblazer in the base Camaro. The original Camaro had an inline six and that inline sixfrom the trailblazer is a great engine. Nearly 300 horspower in it current form.

Finally, a tru muscle car, that even looks the part better than the 60’s cars. Yeah…2009, why so long a wait, or why even talk about it, I could see a year. Weres the SS version? 20011? I hope they dont bring back the pontiac version, firebird w/boy wonder styled panels and legendary pontiac lack of quality.

Tom is a designer that started out doing drawings and just finished the vette as the exterior chief.

Gold ring?? He’s married.

hat? Very hot and sunny day.

Mirrors were beautiful but will never make production.

Comaro is three cool

The vette totally lacks imagination, just like this guy

They should put it into production slightly earlier, some time like early 2008. That would give them time for the Mustang redesign (due some time around 2009) and would be around the time of the Challenger, plus that wouldn’t rush the developement into the wall.
What they’re going to do is advertise it with all these movies, and try to generate interest until the actual production model comes out. Simple as that, I’m sure we’ll be seeing many more of these movies for those of you who are sick of it. A large contribution of todays news was about the Camaro, and so was yesterdays and the past few weeks.
I always loved the Camaro, but I don’t like this one. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very cool looking, but I actually like the original Camaro that this Camaro is taking from. This one looks very… I don’t know there’s just something to it that I don’t like. Someone stated before that it looked big and bulky to them, and to me it looks like that.

Hot and sunny, thats why he’s wearing a scarf and wind cheater lol. This car is gonna be bought by very fat people. y’all need to lose some weight

This car is too low and dangerously overcooked in the sense that it takes the ‘69 and adds creases everywhere. Not nearly as good looking as the Dodge Challenger which is how to update a classic design. The Dodge also has an extra 6 inches of wheelbase for a better ride and more interior room.

I will take Bill Mitchell’s gorgeous Buick Y-Job that was in the background though!

Crazy ass side mirrors.

I can’t wait til every girl is driving around in the V6 model with skinny 16″ wheels and lime green paint.

I’m bored already how can i put money down on the challenger or even the mustang

Kinda like the V6 Mustang right now, huh Ferg ?!!!

OMG that’s enough on the damn Camaro. Finally GM has something that’s worth talking about other than the Vette, and now they won’t shut up. I love the car but im so sick of hearing about it. LLN has too much coverage on this car IMO.
Upcoming LLN headlines…

-”GM announces retractable cupholders”
-”Camaro to get two cigarette lighters!!!”
-”GM reannounces the confirmation of production”
-”A look back at the Production announcement from GM”
- etc, etc, etc…
*Snooze*

And another thing. How are people putting down crazy deposits on this if they haven’t even shown the production version yet?! Mind boggling.
Bumpers are going to look completly different for safety requirements

Bumpers,mirrors,wheels,roofline,exhaust,door handles,and probally the interior material will all have to change,….I just hope they dont screw it up!

they already have by not shutting up

^x10

lol amen andre neves.

on to more news…..

leftlanenews

wheres the news for august 12th. i’m bored as hell programmin all day for work. need some time alone browsin the net

its funny reading about what you want! 3.9V6 240 hp 6-speed manual in base model. (its called AFM active fuel managment you twit). 6.2V8 400hp w/AFM in the SS.7.0V8 475hp can anybody say ZL-1. side mirrors wont make production neither will gauge cluster. If you dont want to read about the hottest car since chevy launched the ZO6. go back in the basement and wait for ford and dmx to implode because they cant keep up.

Since when has LLN become Camaro central? I have a full head of teeth, I don’t live in a trailer park, I am not dating my cousin and my favorite band is not the Dixie Chicks so I have zero interest in some Mullet wearing dude’s wet dream.

GM needed to manufacture this car back in the 1990’s. They”re 10 years too late. Gas is too high for vehicles like this, although I’m sure that people will buy them.

I’m more interested in a compact to midsize 4 door rear wheel drive car that will deliver decent fuel economy. Equip mine with a diesel engine.

As for this car, it looks a bit overweight and dull, just like its 1960s predecessor.

Seriously, someone type in “camaro” in the search field and make sure you have a good connection

Wow henry, You’re just now observing that GM consistently arrives with product 15 years late to the market? Look at the brand new 2006 Pontiac Solstice, GM’s answer to a market opened by the Miata in 1990. And the Miata is still better. Chrysler is gonna own this market, the Challenger is coming earlier, and its better.

Chrysler is aiming it’s Challenger at a slightly different market, don’t forget that Madcapp. The Mustang started the pony car craze. I agree that they are 15 years late. Now they are just trying to copy the Mustangs succsess by making a pony car to compete with the Mustang…

^ I don’t see how the challenger is aimed at a slightly different market.

As far as I see it, GT500, Challenger, & Camaro all in the same boat.

Currently Chrysler is to figure out which strategy to follow Andre Neves: A high price, low production run or a low price, high production run.
(sources http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger.html )
But some sources are also saying that it will compete with Camaro and Mustang
(sources
http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows/naias_2006/0601_dodge_challenger_concept/ )
So it is very confusing. I think it will be a lower production higher priced model, and some sites agree with me while others don’t.

Challenger should be the better choice for the buyer as it will hold its price better then either competition as it will have less production.

Damn it why do my posts always get deleted!?
A few articles say that the Challenger will be priced higher and be a lower production model. But others say it will be priced lower with higher production. I lost my resourses because the last comment I posted was deleted sry

nvm for some reason my older comment just popped up out of no where LOL.

Just saw the video…I know, Im late, but it just shows a guy driving a High performance car as if it were a Kia and talking about the same thing over and over using metaphors. Annoying.

BTW, to ALL who are getting excited about the sound of the car…YES it DOES sound amazing. But, there’s no way the production version will sound like that. Pretty sure it doesn’t meet emission requlations.
Anyone else with an LS2 powerplant(vette,GTO) can achieve that sound with a high flow exhaust & Cams. No sweat.

Gonna save all my money and BUY A CHEVY CAMARO!!!

Wait a year or two and the depreciation will make the Camaro worth about 50% of a new one. That combined with 5.00/Gallon gas prices.

Wanna see my smiling face on the driver side of the new Camaro ! Wanna buy five copies for my Mother…..

Get felt up,,,,,in a Toyota !
Total Toyota recalls for all of 2004: 1.1 Million
Total Toyota recalls for all of 2005: 2.4 Million
Total Toyota recalls as of July 2006: 1.85 million

The day this car is released it will feel like a used car, everyone will know everything about it and be bored rigid

u guyz u are talkin about the gas prises it will 30 mpg and u can shut 4 cylinders off thats not bad

Can’t wait for this car to hit the streets.
oooooooooooooooh !

lol 10 or 15 years too late
Don’t forget gm was FIRST to redesign the retro late 60s muscle car about? 8 years ago and not enough people liked it so they ditched the idea.
I have driven several of the new chargers (with the hemi with the 350 hp and it was the police package).
It doesn’t feel like it has 350hp/390tq more like 300hp/320tq and the trans is a freakin joke….
But I do love to see the war of the muscle car start up again and it’s never too latetime/sales will have the answer….
It’s kind of funny how people bash what there against and do it only for that reason, but its all in fun 
