For the car buffs out there, news has broken a few days before GM's official release, on Monday, about the upcoming Camaro. There are lots of pictures with this article:

Yeah. I didn't want to bump up an old thread with links to speculative articles since official pictures and information are out today.. Especially since most people won't read through several pages to find out what's new.

But, mods, feel free to delete this thread if you want to continue the old thread.

To me it looks more like the new Dodge Charger. Which apparently only comes with an automatic these days. I'm curious to see the options Chevy gives for the new Camaro. PM has the right of it though, these 'new' muscle cars are so similar to each other it's rather sad. Give me an old Firebird, Cuda, Judge or any number of old cars any day.

What kind of MPG does it get?

Indeed. It's nice if it can go 120 miles an hour.

But nicer if it can go 120 miles on a gallon of gas.

At 120 miles an hour-THAT would be impressive.

Ms St______, (theOP) we are sorry to inform you that the part for your car will not be available for a month, and we have no loaners for you. But my boss has agreed to pay for a bus pass for you, if you accept it. If you want the bus pass sign here. It is only a contract that says you can never sue us no matter what we do.Oh, and I see your payment is due Monday, make sure to get that in. Remember, YOU are bound by the contract and WE are not.

Have fun in your plastic little kiddie cars.

I will tell you now, a car is a fucking tool, not a toy.

Grow the fuck up.

Whats the difference between a Porcupine and a Corvette?

The pricks are on the inside of the corvette.

I want a new Camaro bad, really bad. Painted Black, with a LS7 in it, I wonder if they are going to offer it as a ZL1 package.

Now now, it's not so bad in either camp. The Corvette gets all the goodies, the posh treatment and refinement due as Chevy's flagship sports car. The Camaro owes as much of what it is to the Corvette as it did to the Mustang for inspiring the muscle car genesis. In the end, the people who can afford the top end will go for the vette, I know I would. As for the rest of us who have more realistic budgets, the Camaro and Mustang have been the more affordable vehicles. As well as the Charger surprisingly.

Did I hear someone ask what kind of mileage the new Camaro will get? Well gosh, it's going to be something to see isn't it? Yes that's sarcasm, it's a damned muscle car. Engineers can get more power at the same mpg easily, yet they seem to be incapable of keeping power relatively the same while increasing mileage. Wait, that's every automotive manufactureer, and a rant for another day.

So let's see, why not check out the 2008 Corvette or starters? Historically Camaros from 1982 and up have used slightly detuned vette engines, so it's a good starting point. While we're at it, how about the 2008 Charger, since that seems to be in the same class as the Camaro and Mustang. Finally of course, the 2008 Mustang.

Going back over all this stuff reminded me of the single redeeming part of the new Camaro in my eyes. The Zeta platform. No more flippin' unibody crap, yay!

Thats TRUE, I dont deny it for a second and what a magnificent prick it is

See the prick goes inside the corvette, and then the little Texas blondes want to get inside the corvette to be with the prick LOL Ahhhh Good Times. To catch fish requires the right bait LOL.

Aynne - Bummer I envy you. I haven't driven mine in over a week ! I have to get it washed too its been sitting in the driveway and its fucking filty from the rain... I do NOT understand how it rains mud in Houston! Im hoping to make a Galveston run with it tommorrow

(Edited to add: Awww who the fuck am I kidding. I dont need bait I just like Vettes. Bay area girls will fuck for a bottle of Lonestar and a half a Whattaburger! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3huC-42N1Gs)

Actually I do love the C6, I think it is an amazing machine, when I was trucking over the road I used to stop at the national corvette museum in Bowling Green, KY all the time. made it look like a snail had been there from the drool trail.

Sure thing DA, but that goes both ways. It has been known to lure a boy or two into the lair...of course that was then, before I become a newly sainted "good" bad girl.

It is another gorgeous day today tho, gotta wash mine too, then take it for a spin. Have fun in Galveston.

That's gotta be some kind of engineering first.
