Who will have the first one in SS ?
I think I know, but not going to say a word.

Wonder if it is as heavy as it looks?

Looks like a 1969 Camaro that Australians designed.

Hey Jack
I can see you in it to when you building one.

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

Just my opinion.Chrysler and Ford did a great job with the Challenger and Mustang.If GM was looking to
mimic the gen 1 camaro they did a pretty ****ty job.What next an SS Chevelle thats another character car from the cartoon movie Cars?

I agree, I think they are missing a great chance to compete with ford and dodge again. Of course it is better than what they offer now, not counting the corvette. I think the grill came out of a small Cadillac SUV.

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

Ditto.

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

There has never been a camaro I liked from day 1. This is the same. Maybe color or trim or something can be done to improve it. White with orange stripes on the hood? They sure werent trying to "recreate" a camaro of the past.

The official word from GM was that they wanted it to look "new" and fresh, not like a refurbished '69...so, very few, & very subtle, hints from previous generations...their thinking was why would the younger customers buy a car that looks old? And once the nostalgia thing wore off, they were stuck...

Personally, I disagree with the above stance, and favor the FoMoCo & ChryCo thinking of a new spin on something old...but then again, GM didn't ask me! LOL!! While I would've favored a true retro looking Camaro, my younger brother in his early-mid 20s (8 years younger than I) said he actually like the "newer" looking Camaro...so I guess GM styling/marketing was *sorta* right, right?!

If someone wanted to run one in stock where would they get one?
Also since you wouldnt run the engine without having it redone who would do that?

Is it for a select few??


Just curious.....

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

I remember that at a car show a number of years ago that GM had a concept car which was a cross between a 53-56 corvette and a Nomad wagon-it looked cool as hell.

Still to me the problem is that that all of these cars have price tags that only well-off baby boomers or their spoiled kids can afford. The reason the kids are into imports for high performance is that they are cheaper. The big three really messed up there-it took them forever to build a cheap, good looking car. But finally I'm starting to see kids on campus with Cobalts.

Where I work, there are several young engineers who are driving new Ford Mustang GTs. I don't get the impression they're disappointed with them either...

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

i have not seen the camaro up close [ it has been around some though ]but i did see the new dodge at goodguys saturday and it is ok,just ok..it looks like a heavy charger,the guy who owned it said it was lazy but it had a nice paint job and ride was rough[ his words ] at the ford tent they had a new gt 500 stang.now that was nice,way too much money,but nice,the rap on the dodge was the lack of a stick shift,but some fans liked it anyhow..i think people will buy and race the camaro because its a camaro[what car has won more sportsman races then the camaro thru the years ].price will make or break all of these new hot rods..denny

Mike -- Very nice spec package -- thanks

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

'twill be very interesting to see how the shipping weights in the NHRA class guide compare with the weights listed in the GM brag sheet. GM numbers go from 3741 lbs to 3913, depending on trim/trans.

Any guesses on NHRA weights? I'd guess it comes in 300 lbs lighter in the guide.

Re: new spy photo of new camaro
 

Who's whinnig?The comment was made that if GM was looking to follow Ford and Mopar with the retro look they did a pretty ****ty job.It's called giving an opinion.Camaros are alright ,as long as you dont mind
being like everyone else.Geez now is that whinning???????????????????????????

I saw one driving down the Hwy in all of the out of the way places, the pan handle of Texas. It was a white convertible with a blonde model type gal driving it. The car looked OK, I was watching the blonde!
