Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camaro

[Andy]

Chevrolet is trying to keep the price of the car down so that it will survive in today's market place. Most people are going to opt for the lower cost, fuel efficient V6. A 500 HP Camaro from the factory would be awesome, but I do not think it is ever going to happen. They have the Corvette for that reason. The LS9 in the new ZR1 corvettes is the same 6.2 L displacement as the LS3 in the 2010 camaro. I'm sure if you wanted to go forced induction, you could get all of the parts over the counter from GM. All you would really have to do to the LS3 would be a set of good set heads, cam, and full exhaust and you would be over 500 rear wheel hp. That is more than enough hp for the street.

I guess I'm in the minority here but i like it. The more I see of it the more it grows on me. I've seen the Challenger and to me it looks like a bloated version of the 70 model. It's a bigger car than I thought it would be. 422 Hp isn't anything to sneaze at, especially for a street car. To each his own, I guess.

I just don't "like" the new Camaro I love it. I saw both the coupe and vert at SEMA last year and pictures don't do the car justice it is one of the best looking cars ever to come out of Detroit or where ever it is going to be built? The vert is incredible in person the rear quarters bulge out like a 911 it is bad to the bone. I had read a while back that Lutz said a 550 HP version would be available and then Carroll Shelby confirmed recently in an interview that he was told Chevy was bringing out a 550 HP Camaro so I am surprised it won't be out for a couple years if ever? Its still a 4000 pound car and it doesn't have 8 inch wide polyglass tires on the rear wheels so I don't know how exciting 422 HP is going to be? I can tell you the 500 HP on my GT 500 was pretty tame in stock configuration before Shelby converted it into a Supersnake.

Why is it all the new muscle cars have that over-sized side appearance. I think it is cool that all the old cars are reappearing just don't care for the tall sides.

Side stripes will do wonders for the "big-sided" look. Not sure why the Challenger has not offered the classic "R/T" side stripes yet. They are killer and retro at the same time!!!!!

I think I like it. However, the color renderings they have on the web site are not even close to what I’ve seen in person. They need to show actual cars painted in actual paint instead on computer generated cars. I didn’t see the “Hugger Orange Pearl” tri-coat listed as an available color. That’s the coolest color of all.

Second best for the legendary Camaro is sad no matter how good it looks
