Both cars share the same platform, the camaro is a tad different though.

Nice write up. You should work for GM.
I have liked them from the begining but now I really like them. Its going to be real interesting to see what these cars do when people start doing the basic go fast stuff. 11s will be easy and low 11s wont be that hard either.

I really hope they keep production going on these, just need another 2 years to get all the money. looks like the exhaust will definetely be the first to go, imagine how these things are gonna rumble with some LT's and some magnaflow bullets!

what i'm trying to say is that this is not a camaro. its more like slapping a chevy logo and a body kit on a G8 or a GTO and then calling it a camaro.

I really do want one, but I don't buy brand new cars anymore until two years after the intro of a completely new model..with that said, by that time I'll be able to pick up a used(older than used camaro) c6Z06 which in my opinion is a better car, not saying anything negative about the camaro, but it's just not a vette, even if theydo come out with a Z28 version you'll never be able to trim enough fat to be comfortable for daily driving and turn numbers like a modded Z06..just my .02, thanx for the pics

So this is why you're too busy to call me back (unless you changed numbers and I've been leaving homosexual messages on some random chick's, girl voicemail but sounded like wifey, voicemail) !

Have you put a cam in it yet ?!

I say send that bitch back to them painted true fire but with chameleon paint so it flickers like it is really burning... Then they may let you keep it based on your madskillz
