23mpg highway for the V8 model is pretty shitty!! I think I'll keep my 28-30pmg LS1. I know its not meant to be an economy car, but with 6spd trans thats really low!

yeah, I'm surprised mpg is that low for the v8.

You'd think they could have improved it over the ls1.

~3800lbs with an LS3, not bad. I hope the oil change isn't 9 quarts though lol. But I don't like it enough to sell my Firebird.

ditto.
the only new car purchases i will ever be makeing would be American daily drivers,,with great gas mileage. The new Camaro is sweet,,I've just never been a Camaro guy. Hope it does good for GM.

I was getting about 230 miles per tank with just city driving!
After the cam and mods I am still getting the same damn fuel economy! Its a
CAMARO SS!, who buys a Pony car for Fuel mileage, especially a 6.2L?

Me too! my only problem w/ buying a challenger is the aftermarket w/ probably be lacking in comparison to the camaro. To me GM has totally dropped the ball on everything they have introduced in the last 5yrs except the lsx platform and the CTSV. Looks wise the suck.

The LS3 is gonna eat the **** out of the challenger's 6.1 Hemi. I think the camaro is gonna be sweet with a few mods, the picture on the website is the RS V6 Version, I think the SS will look great
