So who is gonna buy a NEW Camaro?

[J_D]

I am not sure I like the looks of it either..........but when they changed the appearance of the Camaro in 1998 I said, I'll never own one of those. They got Toyota headlights and a great big mouth ! !

Now look what I own............

I really do not know what the heck GM is doing I hate the new Vette ZO6
And what I have seen on the new Camaro it not much better
The GTO was not a big seller And when Chrysler came out with a four door
Charger What was the thinking there The Chargers front end looks mean and than
It fall’s off The new Challenger if they keep it this way is the first new muscle car
That has got my eye Now lets see if Chrysler messes it up
My whole family had Chevys Till the 2000 model year was bad Wife had a 2000 Chevy Lumina , hit 34,000 miles and the trans go’s out the seat broke and the radio went out all in one day Took it to the Dealership were we bought it and was told the warranty went
Out last week. We also had two 2000 Pontiac Grand Am’s V6 That became fix and repair every week Gm quality is not as good as it use to be Ended up trading the Lumina in on a jeep Grand Cherokee had good luck with it Now I have four Grand Cherokee’s
In my family Boy I do not miss working every weekend on the Grand Am’s
The point is For some reason Gm thinks they still king When there was talk about the GTO coming out I was real excited I test drove one and for a daily driver it did not
Meet my needs so I ended up with a Grand Cherokee for my daily driver
If that Challenger come out as we see it now I just might get one but will keep the Jeep as a daily driver

I took the 05 stang GT to the track a few weeks back. My buddy has one of those new Grand Cherokee SRT 4 door SUV's. My best time was 13.80, He beat me every race, ran consistent 13.40's and a best of 13:32! Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw a 4 door suv whip up on my new stang. Both vehicles stock. He was beat by a new GTO though. It was all souped up, and computer laptop tuned. Ran low 12's.

The cool thing about the new Chevys is the LS engines. At SEMA there GM had a Denali sitting there with a Supercharged LS engine and it sat low enough on the engine it looked like it would fit on just about anything with a LS engine in it. Looks to me it will be easy to have a 600 plus hp new Camaro once all these cool parts get out there. And there is a ton of aftermarket stuff being built for LS engines... They are killer engines that hold up well and get good gas mileage.

I'm with Charlie here. If I want a 69 Camaro to be my everyday driver I would build a Restomod.

I hope that todays youth would want to own one and do the mods like we did. The LS engines give them something GM to hop up besides imports and hopefully make a customer for life. I didn't fall in love with Camaros, Chevelles, Shelby's or Cudas when I was 40, I fell in love with them when I was 14. My son is 17 and when we went looking for a car for him last year we didn't visit or consider any GM product. We looked at several imports and ended up with a Mustang. I love that GT Mustang commercial where the father and son do a burnout then stop and say how fun it was and do another. My son and his car buddies can't wait for the new Camaro and are already talking about what engines will be available. I can't wait to take him down to the Chevy dealership and get him his own GM performance catalog.

So what you're both saying is...What is old is new again. We will have come full circle.

When I am at Pavillions...I go over to the import area and check out all the cars there...after all, these kids are doing exactly what we did when we were younger...just with different engines and equipment.

About the time the "new" camaro comes out will be when my daughter will be driving so I am very interested in looking at it for my next car. However, I will not buy within the first year if it is anything like the prices of Mustangs in the first year with sticker and higher price tag take it or leave it mentality.

Chevrolet will have to price it right in line with the Mustang to be competive and advertise it.

While I have not seen the concept cars in person, one thing is for sure they will be messaging the final production car considerably over what we see now. Can't see 22" wheels on V6 model at 20k.

The Hot Rod magazine article had me pretty excited with questions to readers about what they wanted in new camaro. I hope Chevy stays true to 1969 in terms of offering SS, RS, & Z28. If so make mine a SS/RS with 400hp LS motor.

Enough ranting.
