New Camaro Stocker
 

I had a good look at the "New Chevrolet Camaro Stocker" that was unveiled @ SEMA........Darn thing has consumed a lot of thought since! Just wondering if any are being built? Has Chevrolet told anyone how much $$$$?

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

I am going to the PRI this week. Hopefully this time they will have some straight up answers......

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Don't hold your breath. Right after the Easter Bunny comes. With Volt fires and all that press, they have alot more pressing issues!

Here's everything but the price.... Sorry.

Powerglide...... serious ?

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

I hope Jack Matyas will be looking for a driver when he gets his..hint hint..

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

If I had been holding my breath I would have been out of here a long time ago! (I purchased a body-in-white almost three years ago)


Who knows? They didn't stop anything else that I know of because of the volt. (ZL1, etc.)

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

According to Automotive News, 'a car Chevrolet hopes to homologate for drag racing'. I might need a little help on that word. I heard 50 cars, I heard late next year, I heard about 100k, but then what do I know.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Thanks Robert - you're right on the top of my list ..............

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Is that a 1960 Pontiac rear end?

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Hmm...does that thing have a Ford 9" rear end? If it's got an aluminum carrier, will that make that legal in a 69 Camaro for Stock?

And Firm we will build them and when we will build them!

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

I like the idea of a 1957 Pontiac housing and an aluminum 12 bolt drop out center section..........

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

this is the C.O.P.O Camaro.. should be testing in Florida...soon...Luke

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Still won't be able to use it, Bob.
What comes in factory ringers, stays in factory ringers...
Ask Kenny...

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

In your dreams, Pontiac broke more than the bolt in 1960's Chevy style! It is a 1957 FORD style unit.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

It's a CJ with an ugly skin anyway.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Should be available with a 5-speed manual, as well. Nothing set in stone yet, but I see a possible naturally-aspirated 427, as well. No word on the intake, so who knows what the final release will have.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Wieand tunnel ram?why not......................

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

GM cant build them in house like FORD did with the Mustangs . If they are built they have to be built by a second party , cost expected to be 175k . If they could built in house cost is 130k . Thats what the hold up is were are they going to be built .

Submit your name on the web site and they will call you if the think you are serious .

175k is a big number , then you will spend other 30k working on it

I hope they put the 427 in the guide at about 350hp for GT classes. it will be bad *****

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

They were talking $80,000.00 - $100,000.00 at the PRI. There was a lot of traffic around that car. Several familiar faces.....

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Gump , who is going to build them ?

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Contract hasn't been awarded yet.

I was told the target price is about $100K for the supercharged 327.

Testing on the track is planned for Monday

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

It's still a case of if they build them, but I would say the chance is much better that it will happen. The Chevrolet guys are pretty pumped about it. They got a ton of hits on their web page and a lot of guys showed-up ready to write checks. From what I saw, I doubt that they would have any problem selling 50 cars.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

You are right about IF and WHEN, Does not mater that the CHEVY guys are pumped up! What really maters is how do the BEAN COUNTERS feel and how much they would have to spend to do this project, it's all about ROI at the end of the day.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

You guys kill me. You act like this hasn't been done before,

(1) 150 Mustangs and 50+ Viper powered Challengers have proven that the cars can be sold for a known amount of $$.
(2) Chevrolet enthusiasts outnumber Ford and Dodge by a factor of 2.

The business model is a no brainer.

All Chevrolet has to do is figure out how to build the cars for 75-80K (cost) and a 20% margin is there.
The problem is that Chevrolet has multiple groups vying for control of this thing, I'd say internal politics are a bigger issue.

See you at the races,

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Chevy will build the things. Trust me. I have personally made enough bowtie people mad enough with all my cars and antics. A thank you would be in order for the people who like the idea of a new Chevy in competition. A gift certificate from Wal Mart would help. A *^#@ you will probably be in order from those who hate the new cars regardless of brand, and a special 'comment' from the Chevy people who hate the new cars, and I guess the gift certificate is out of the questiion. This should be interesting. Maybe I can move my popcorn order to this thread, as the other seems to have stumbled.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

What is your dog in this hunt? I really don't understand why you bother to post comments like this.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

"its all about ROI"???

really?
seriously??

ever heard of loss leaders? promos? buzz builders? traffic builders?

Chevy Volt....there's a good ROI for you

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Jeff, I love the new cars. Really cool. Just hate the bogus hp ratings. Don't care who built them.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Ed, the good part is the things are mostly gone from A,B etc. A few oddballs like mine, but not many. And with all them Chevy nuts, that thing won't be there long.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

Shouldn't even start in lower classes.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

They aren't planning to do that. They are aiming at A and AA. I'm sure that not everyone will like the factors, but as Jeff said, I am sure that ego's will sort that out!

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

heres video of the first pass, with the whipple supercharged 327

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

hmmm, 16 sec video, seems to "leave" at 8 sec, lifts at finish line (or sooner?), at 16=8?

In watching it, it struck me like, so what?....to me just like a nitrous bracket car going fast...what does it prove? If this is the new paradigm, I'm glad I'm about done.

Re: New Camaro Stocker
 

That Nomad would make a GREAT and one fine looking street rod.

Superstock Engine HP Rating?
 

Ok, Chevrolet announced the addition of the SS legal 327 with 4l supercharger.....now whats the HP rating?

Re: New Camaro Stocker
