Who needs traction when there is enough power to spin by almost everyone on the road?

It would be awesome if GM comes out with a hi performance, low cost Camaro again. I'd definitely pick on up. I miss the big cube N/A power.

having that all black front grille like the late 60's SS's would be awesome, it looks so evil. Imagine that coming up behind you. it sends shudders down my spine.

Well until the Shelby 500 shows up anyway...

Thanks for the directions. I didn't think I was blind but I guess I am because I was totally wondering WTF we were doing looking at BMW's.

You would think with that kind power it would be alot faster than the cobra.I think i would just save money and get a 03-04 cobra there almost the same in speed.

In that issue, have you guys seen the drawings? The largest rendering, in red, shows a front view evocative of the earlier, concealed headlights Camaro. I think if they do it like that, it would be !

seriously! Wtf why offer it with a lesser v8 than the ls1 at all? How about a Z28 with an ls1 or an SS with an ls2? I'd definently be on the list for an m6 ss.

If it only comes with 300hp.. it better weigh 2800lbs and come with a strong *** drivetrain.

i dont think the z28 will ever "out perform" the ss again. not to start a flame war, but i believe GM is aiming at making the ss its "performance" car. so even if the cars are exactly the same save some appearance products the ss will still "out perform" the z28. just because gm can charge more for the ss and needs to say it performs better.

SS>Z28 They need to offer the LS2 tuned to 425 hp for the Z28 and then add options for the SS and make it in the range of ~450-475 hp, make it somewhat lighter than the cobra maybe. Still have it faster, because thats how we left it when 02 came around and they killed of our car

i didn't know what i was looking at until you pointed it out. I thought originally we were gonna talk a/b that disgusting miata. Its promising to see more buzz going around a/b a new camaro in some magazines. The St. Therese factor is still resurfacing in this one, in past reports from what i've read have said St. Therese can no longer be a factor after 2007-2008.

I kind of funny that GM isn't getting the greatest release of the Sotstice. the Solstice is a great car, i like how it flows and how it looks. what do you think is causing the slow launch?

why would you want the car to have the same fate as the 4th gens? the 4th gens failed because thats all they did was perform. its not a shocker that not all people want or need 400hp or more. thats one reason why cars like the Z06 and the Shelby gt500 are so much, because the people wanting that power will pay for it.

make the entry level ones with an exceptional interior with less than 350hp and youll be fine. then have what ever top of the line cars with whatever hp you want. thats why the mustang sells so well. its a nice car thats not too fast but is obtainable for a good price. exactly what the camaro originally was.

and please no retro ****. if i wanted a 1st gen, i would buy one. period.

Then they should make the Z28 with nice interior and a 375 hp engine and the SS with 425 or 450 hp. That way the people that like comfort more can have a z28 and people like me that prefer more HP can buy the SS.
