Default 2009 Camaro a go!

So I get the latest GM High Tech magazine in the mail today and I'm thrilled to see what's on the cover. Sorry if it's old news but it's new to me.

Awsome!!! The GTO has 3 years left in my driveway.
Why do I always get my issue of GM Hightech in the mail after everyone else.

Nice, i know how long i have to save now. Any word on the release for the performance models/trim levels? Or did they simply confirm the GO for production?

If GM hadn't Ok'd the Camaro they might as well give up as car builders.

Screw Bob Putz!

I'd wait till 2010 and then listen to GM say how they aren't going to make the retro Camaro, because retro is soooo 2005-2006.

I'll buy one, but I won't buy a first model year not like my 98'. I'll wait a couple of production years and see what happens with them.

I can't wait, I'll be getting my MBA when the car is released but the good thing is I don't want to buy a first year car, and with this job I have now, it looks like I'll be able to pay for the rest of school out of pocket so goodbye student loans, helloooooo Black Camaro!

It's always a guy in a bone stock car that makes a retarded comment like that.

I'm curious to see what MSRP will be along with a few other things.
I should be ready for another car by then. It would be nice to get back
into the LSx game.

maybe that's because that's what the general public tend to compare....stock vs. stock.

but the majority of people on here already have the understanding that once modded, nothing is certain.....and that with enough money, anything can be made fast, be it camaro, mustang, civic, neon, or even a moped.

but don't get me wrong, i'm not taking sides here...i like all fast cars as long as they're not all riced out or just plain butt-ugly to begin with
