Default Re: My 2 cents on the new Camaro...gotta say it

Its hard for us Camaro guys to swallow, but GM will never put the same amount of energy into the camaro as they do the vette. Its the stepchild, it sucks but oh well. If it wasn't for a few guys, Yenko, Rosen, etc. there would have been no camaros that where outside the box. Thank goodness for those guys.

I'm a 21 year old college student, and I must say I disagree with most of the comments. Since I was 15, I have had a few '67 F-bodys. I was able to enjoy them and make a few dollars in the process. I have loved classic cars and always will. I mainly thank my dad and his collection of cars for that. My generation today is mainly taken over by imports. Myself and the few others that enjoy muscle cars hate the situation. But the truth of the matter is everyone my age can't afford most the high horse power American cars. And if we can insurance is a killer. The new Camaro is awesome. I love it. I disagree with taking an old car and designing a new car from it. I want my car manufacture to take a step forward, not take a step back in the past. I will agree that GM puts to much effort in the Vette, and the Camaro is left in the shadow. I also understand that GM is going to design a car that will sell. And if my generation won’t have the money to buy a new car, then listen to the public and make a “new ’69 Camaro”. Either way, I’m glad it’s coming back. I love that the horsepower wars are back too. It’s nice to see what the US manufactures are doing. These are just my two cents, and I know everyone won’t agree with my opinions.

The demise of the 4th gen Camaro IMO, was a threefold problem.
The price of the Camaro was way more than the Mustang to begin with.
Next, the insurance rates where about double for the Camaro
But finally and probably most important, Women bought the Mustang.
So with this in mind ask the women in your life what they think about the new Camaro. For us to get the Camaro in what ever form it takes back, there has to be women buyers.

I asked my wife what she thought of it while my 5 year old son was looking over my shoulder...he cut in and said, "it looks like a Mustang"...and she said, "he's right!"
