i think the new camaro looks awesome i love th retro look the interior appears a little bland but comes off very clean and has a nice simplicity factor to it . its not like the camaro has ever had a luxorious interior and i think this is the best one yet. 3800 curb weight seems like alot to me was hopeing theyd be around 3400 since they look a little more compact than the 4th gen but thats probably just styling. i knwo that if i can afford one when im lookin for a new car this will definetly be a top choice but i heard they might be comin out with an 4ls7 edition i might be wrong especialy with the way gm is lookin right now a 427 might be outta the question. but would be rly sweet

Its funny because, some people have a fully loaded LS1, and claim them to only weigh like 3350lbs, while other's claim that their fully loaded LS1 was closer to 3600...

My Auto LT1, T-Top, Bose, blah blah blah car with 1/4 tank of fuel, 1LE A/C Delete, no air pump, no cat and aftermarket catback was 3400lbs on a scale.

I'm going to start a club: Patman Haters #0001. You know he thinks he's better than us now. Arrogant bastard. Not that anything is wrong with it, but I hear he is a homosexual.
That's what I use.
I'm going to "test drive" a new SS right down to our county dump to have it weighed when they first come out.

I like the gauges but it would be better without that odd bright silver hunk in the center of the dash.
Outside it looks too fat, I hate the wagon wheels...18" are as big as I like unless the car is super sleek like a vette. Might look better with dished wheels and wide rubber out back but the stock looks kinda gay.
The rest I kinda like. Color is awful though...I hate orange and I really hate colors in between red and orange.
The engine cover looks like ***...too cheap looking. I'd take that thing off and put it in the attic somewhere or sell it. I like the way lsx engines look though...
Overall I think it's nice. Hope it looks as good in person (unlike the challenger...looks like a yacht)

I'll Admit, I don't like the look of the new Camaro all that much.
It looks like a Challenger/Mustang hybrid to me, but I'm sure some aftermarket appearance mods can take care of that. The weight is pretty "stout" on it, but it obviously helps with traction, so I guess it cancels out the negative.
I'm Sure You had a grin from ear to ear for the rest of the day though!

Engine bay looks pretty clean, more so than th 4th gens. Not a lot of misc wires & grounds all over. Should've ditched the engine cover though to save money and spent it elsewhere. I know they actually have TWO covers on the G8 GT, one over the engine and another over the intake, and I bet this engine is the same, probably to help deaden sound. Check out the back of the engine bay under the windshield base where it's black - is that insulation? The 4th gen was really cheap looking in that area.
