Well solid axle or no doesnt change their reasoning. They will change it to cut costs, not bc its better/stronger at a drag strip or whatever. The reason they want it and the reason everyone else on this site wants it are completely different. And right when you get another email stating the 5th gen is getting the solid axle finally, and you rejoice, you will be seeing on the news that they pulled the plug on the whole damn car. Talk about a catch 22. To this date, every person I have seen driving a 5th gen has been a non-enthusiast. Call it profiling if you will, but if the shoe fits....
They are in it for the image. IT IS PATHETIC. and cars arent the only things... video games...clothes.. everything is just about profit. "how can i make money" No companies give a **** about making people like us happy.... its whatever will make the most dime. Its sick. i charge people fractions of what most charge to do work to cars... only because i like doing it, it keeps me busy... and i make someones day... seems like i am a dieing breed....

They wont do it because they cant. Now what i would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE for GM to do is move the weight back down into the 3400's capable of being 2900's with a 300 hp LS3 that breaths through a straw... so you put exhaust / intake and OMGZORS power... how hard would that be? then they could meet their standards... and make us happy...

Have you taken a look on camaro5
90% of the people posting are ******* idiots and or its their first camaro, man they say the goofiest **** on there. Most of them jumped on the flavor of the week, but that means as soon as the flavor goes away you get cheaper used cars. But seriously man its like you have to have ******* brain damage to be accepted over there.

That's funny, just the other day I was driving and saw a new black SS with limo tint windows and black wheels, all murdered out--
when I caught up to the car at the next light, the driver is a woman about 50 years old.
I think this may be the new vehicle demographic.

This is kinda like what happened with the Scions. Marketed and targeted for teens and middle aged people were the ones ending up with them. Not saying camaros are specifically marketed towards younger buyers at all. Let's be honest, in the average world, when you are middle aged, you have more freedom to buy what you want, not what you can afford. Or at least what you can afford is a broader range anyway.

yea, think about it, im 22 and in no position to buy a 30K+ car. when the 4th gens came out, it was the same way, untill the price dropped to where 18-25 age group could afford it. and its even worse now a days with the obama era putting the economy in the *******.

I think camaro5 is a great site. Some dumb people but some really great people also. A lot of people on that site are really passionate about the car. Always coming up with new ideas, write ups, anything to improve the car you name it.

I would say for every 1 guy thats actually a Camaro fan there are 30 people that just want to be noticed. One guy seriously posted a thread about how he hates when people dont look at his car when he drives by. Yes that was a real thread, yes there are dozens upon dozens of threads similar to that.

Well, at the rate HP output is rising, that turbo 6 in 2014 model with 425 HP will be just that- the v6 Camaro.
And the v8 will be putting out 550!
Of course, the car will weigh 4500 pounds.

I'm all for a 300 hp rating due to a choked motor (take an ls7 and put a 70mm tb on it with a choker exhaust) and just get the car down to 3300 lbs.
I'd rather have that... easier to unchoke the car then it is to get one down to fighting weight.
With the solid axle of course.
