Is did they put the LS9 in the car or just slap a supercharger on the engine that already comes in the ss? Havnt really paid much attention to the new camaros so dont know much about what they come with.

It's as much of a camaro as the G8 was a grand prix in my book, even less so. At least they gave it a new RPO. Seems like GM is afraid to market anything under a new name and is pulling at straws to re-use name recognition wherever it can.

Yup, the new mustangs are a deviation from the previous generations, the zr1 is improved uppon the previous, ect. This **** doesnt look anything like a camaro it looks like a mustang for christ sakes. I know there was a gap, and that the muscle cars have always been somewhat close but look at these last gens and tell me which of these two it looks more like. Im not ******* on anyone thats got a new camaro im just saying im glad the z28 name is preserved i guess.

The ZL will be more likely to compete with the Shelby. As the Boss is more of a real track car like the ssx concept.

i know this will cause alot of debate, and i'll probably get flamed for it... But in my personal opinion; I think the new camaro is more of a "Camaro" or muscle car then the 4th gens. dont get me wrong, I love my 02 Z28, but it is styled more like a corvette than anything. the new camaro is heavy as sin but its still a big powerful chunk of metal like a muscle car should be

The G8 wasn't intended to be a Grand Prix, both cars were sold at the same time so they are 2 different models.

Our 4th Gen f-bodies don't look anything like the first gen f-bodies. The new Camaro is a retro design of the first gen Camaro. So the same thing could be said about the 4th gen f-bodies.

Yeah and the retro design is closer to a mustang in my opinion. Whatever the case, some people will like and others won't. I happen to be one who doesn't, yet.
