Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camaro
[ QUOTE ]
It's just sad all over again - in the '60's, GM slept while Ford created the Ponycar market, while they deluded themselves into thinking the Corvair was "enough". Why in the heck that the Camaro took so long to develop is beyond me....it's sad that this once-proud car company would leave us with Cobalt SS's to hold down the fort while they got their act together with the Camaro.....too little too late...they would have had some good run rate before gas hit $4 if they could have released that Camaro earlier....

Can't argue with any of that,but the fact it has been in the mix for so long saved it from being x'ed with all the other rear drive platforms in the pipe. Hey it's been seven years bring it on one last time I say. It's got nothing for the Z06 anyway who cares if it's a little heavy and looks like a crossfire on roids,it's another Camaro!
I shudder to think what's coming in the next decade design wise, the horsepower wars are over,the ZR1 is the undisputed heavyweight champ, and in ten years people might be scratching around for a clean one of these in a sea of used smart cars. It's 1970 all over again,we have been living some great times the last few years with car performance but with the CAFE standards coming in enjoy it while you are able-we will transition into a euro size car nation within five years IMO
