So GM "showd off" the slowest of the 5th gen camaros and the fastest of the C6 Corvette. they should of brought out at least a concept version of the Z28 either way they look bad ***.


someone correct me if im wrong about the RS being a V6..

Like said earlier, the RS package is available on both V6 and V8 versions. Cars look pretty badass (especially the Vette ). As far as the weight of the new Camaro goes, maybe GM is realizing that to get the car to sell well enough to stay in production, they're gonna have to do things a bit differently than they did with the 4th gen. And it appears that meant sacrificing weight for ease/cost of production, and appealing to a wider range of consumers. I say good luck to them

The Challenger takes a good picture, I saw one at an intersection the other day. It's a bit boatish as well but it's honestly gorgeous. barely faster than a Bullit GT though. according to Car & Driver.

based on my highly accurate mathematical calculations shown here...



all i can assume is that the guy has bad posture due to excessive masturbation over the ZR1

Looks way big.
I'd like to see a pic of a fourth and fifth gen side by side, not with one in the background of the other . . .

man i would hate getting chased by the vette, pretty much game over if a cop tries to pull you over in that. and as for the camaro, man that girl has a lot of junk in the trunk, no wonder they weigh so much

Glad you are all enjoying the pics. yeah it is big in person too. I was a little surprised. That guy though I do remember was a short little dude. The car probably came up to the middle of my chest and im 6' on the nuts. I would of rather of seen the V8 version (dont know if thats the SS or Z28). Someone there said GM doesnt want the big guns out yet.

Im still drolling at that ZR1. That paint job was so cool. That car is going to do some major damage. Pretty good stuff up there. I myself didnt see any ZR1's cruising so I must have missed them. I wish I could of got a dose of what they were going to be like.

Im glad you all are enjoying the pics, your welcome, and its just cool to have another glance of these two sweet cars on the street.

Mike

ZR1

Just wish they would have color coordinated the brakes and engine cover with the color of the car. Orange and blue doesn't work too well together...

they wouldnt let you snap interior pics for some reason. You could look but not snap. Kinda funny why they wouldnt.

Jesus ******* christ I've never seen so many people bitch about a poorly taken picture. Yes, the Camaro is a bit taller over-all than the concept. I don't think it will effect the handling THAT badly. And if it does, so what? We have an aftermarket for a reason. Hi there, suspension modifications. Quit bitching.

So if it doesn't handle like a boat, will you pay that thousand bucks to those who say that it won't?

Challenger...meh. If you want to talk about a boat, look no further than that
