Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camaro

[robber6910]

I was hoping Chevy would be smart enough to release it for the camaro's 40th anniversary. The final model doesn't look as attractive as the concept. The rims look aweful, there is too much wheel well space. Shoot they were better off taking a 69 shell and adding modern day gadgets. But then again I could do the same thing with my '69 camaro

Charley,
You are absolutely correct anyone can take anything and tweak it in the aftermarket world. But what Shelby offers besides a 40 year history of having Ford deliver Mustangs to his shop for conversions is the option of being able to walk into any Ford dealership and buy a Shelby Mustang off the showroom floor with a warranty in the case of the 600 HP Supersnake package and drive it home. This option and the Shelby mystique offer a lot of residual value that Lingenfelter and Callaway don't IMHO. To me if I can buy it off the showroom floor with a warranty at 600 HP backed by Ford that is close to the factory for me? In fact your Supersnake was a Mustang delivered to CA and converted into a Supersnake and then warrantied by Ford?

By the way Charly speaking of Supersnakes I have heard through my Ford guy insider club a flurry of rumors of a possible secret Supersnake sale/trade? Care to shed some light? Confirm or deny the Ford guy insider rumors? is the Ford guy insider club whirling away with baseless rumors or is there some fire where there is smoke? Enquiring minds want to know

You keep touting a 600 HP SuperSnake with a Warranty. My understanding is the ZR1 will be 638 hp with a warranty. Your orig claim was in regards to the 725 hp SuperSnake option that Shelby will do but there is no warranty.
Yes I believe my SuperSnake is going to a new home. I was going to do a deal with you but you got rid of my wagon.

Notice that there is no mention of the Z28 yet. Last I heard there were going to be 3 engines available which would be the v6, SS base v8 and Z28 option v8. I'm guessing, but I bet they wait and release the Z28 later on with 500-550 hp. They want to get some of the lower performance versions on the road first. That's my guess.

Its official the legendary Supersnake has a new home!!!!!! I wish I had the dough to buy it. Wagon went back to Jim Cunningham who maintained it all those years for the second owner it went to a great home Jim will take very good care of it.

ZR-1 will be the worlds best supercar for any price IMHO. But I can't stick my kids in the Vette to take them and their friends out for ice cream or a ride. I think your talking about apples and oranges comparing the Mustang to the Vette. One is a muscle car the other a world class sports car I think? All I said was that Ford is winning this era's Muscle car wars. I fully agree Chevy's ZR-1 will be the the Sports car HP champ unless Dodge bumps up the HP on the Viper?

Why don't you explain why Chevy put a 422 HP motor in what may be the best looking car ever to come out of Detroit? You have all the Chevy factory insider information what the heck happened to Lutz he lose his nutz?

[Charley Lillard]

You were the one comparing the Mustang to the Vette. I'm glad Jim got the wagon. I feel better now.
