2007 Camaro

[91Z28]

Alive or dead? Lately the rumors surrounding this have been heating up again. What are some of your opinions of the way it should be done?

[Figz z28]

Bring it back! :mad:

[grandkodiak]

I think GM if it brings it back will likely jump on the retro remake trend and we'll end up with a Camaro that looks like the new Mustang, and hopefully engineered to outperform stock for stock thier entire line, and maybe even for marketing drama outdo every new friggin HEMI POS Dodge can crank out like back in the old days ;)

[Hurley711]

Please leave the Firebird dead forever.....................................makes my Ram Air that much cooler in 10 years :D

[91Z28]

I think that a ZL1 LS7 model has to be available for 45k to dominate the new cobras. Obviously the LS2 Z28s would romp the current GTs, but I want GM to take a stab at the Shelby Cobras. This is unlikely though as they would be too scared that such a camaro would interfere with their corvette plans.............uggh

[Hamster Dance]

Its alive and will be back...not the Firebird though...the GTO took care of that, kinda cornered the market for the Pontiac demographic buyers

[91Z28]

See, that sucks. Even though I am a Chevy guy and love Camaro's, it won't be the same without the Firebird! It is like the Camaro is losing his brother!

[Daring Devil]

the pic you see is for a 07 Z28 I was given this pic

I hope it comes back

[Gray20]

I sure as hell hope alive, 'cause the more years that pass the more worried I get that the time is running out for me to get an f-body. I don't want to do it but by next year I may have to buy a stang, not enough for sale 'round here

[The Rookie]

so does anybody really know? Is the Camaro coming back? I was sitting on a plane 2 weeks ago headed to Corpus Christi, TX and a guy I sat next to said he worked for GM. (We were talking about my 02 "SS") and He said they are bringing it back, it will have a retro look and it will be in 2007. He also said they had an "SS" coming out as a 2008 model with 475HP! Now for all I know he could be a serial killer, but he seemed like he knew what he was talking about, but who knows???

[02 WS6]

This is from a secret GM document that my "friend" had about the 2007 Camaro.....
" Introducing the all new 2007 Camaro, new design, new features, a new way about thinking about the Camaro. Never before in its lustrious 40 year history has the Camaro been such the center of your attention and for good reason. To start , we have completely redisgned the exterior to turn heads more than ever, with sleeker lines, a low stance and design that says "look out". We have also added more exterior color choices like "Snow White", "Baltic Blue" and "Midnight Black".
"Dont think we forgot about the inside, it was also completely redesigned for 2007. From posh leather seats and leather wrapped steering wheel, power windows and locks, standard drivers and passengers side "NexGen" airbags, AM/FM stereo with in dash CD player (OnStar available) everything you need at your finger tips."
"We have also redesigned the drivetrain with many exciting choices to choose from. First the base Camaro model comes standard with the reliable "Iron Duke" inline 4 cylinder, developing an astonishing 105 horsepower out of only 2.5 litres of motor. It comes standard with a 3 speed manual transmission, a 3 speed automatic is optional. Next in line is the Camaro Z-28, rich in history as being the performance Camaro, we can proudly say it still carries the torch today. Standard is the 2.8 litre V-6 producing a whopping 155 horsepower with the multi port fuel injection system and dual manifold exhaust system. Standard is a 4 speed manual with a 4 speed automatic being optional.

"Chevy is also proud to say that in 2008 we will bring back the "SS" Camaro with a exciting new engine just developed by GM. It is a hybrid 1.9 litre inline 4 pounding out a ground shaking 207 horsepower. This amazing feat was made possible be the half gas, half electric power plant just released by GM, which many in the industry say is up to todays technicial standards. This remarkable engine will only be available in the "SS" model, making it even more exclusive. So stop in today and drive away in your new 2007 Camaro"

Nobody here has to believe me, I dont care, this is what the paper said on it and it was from GM. Im saving my downpayment now :ughlaugh:




......is anyone getting worried yet ???? :jk:

I hope they come back w/ the Camaro, I'd definately get one, start saving now, but whats the deal with these engines and horepower ratings??? This a joke or what?

[91Z28]

This is a joke, the Iron Duke was in Thirdgens and Fieros in the early 80s.

[Canes2413]

what the hell kinda of engines are those are they going for fuel economy or something

[ibanez7]

a 4 banger camaro...thats just not funny.......

[steeltoe]

think 3 y-body cars. that right chevy and pontic are done fuckin around with ford. the romured plan for the camaro and firebird to bulit on the corvette chassis and throw every V-8 motor at it from the vortech 5300/LS-4 5.3 to the to the big boys the LS-7 and the vortech 8100. my socure a local dearler so wheather they right i dont know. but if gm was to do that they would kill the mustang and the gt.

[ithacamike]

I am really torn about ever seeing a new Firebird out of GM. I have a very rare 'Bird now, and would like to keep it that way. On the other hand, it sux not having new Firebirds in the mix every year.

[BowlingSS]

I do not think they are coming back. I would not want one if it was a four banger...

Bill
:wtcslap:

[02-35th-ss]

I took a drive in an sti and for the price that car is better than anything new ive seen commin out of gm in the last 2 years. But if they do bring it back I hope that there is a diff between the z and an ss moreso than a hood and tires and suspension

[jimmyboy8301]

:lmao:that is either a really funny joke wich i hope it is
or GM has gone nuts and they must be punished :spank2:
And lets just pray that they bring back a 400 h.p. F-Body then Ford owners would be the ones to worry:devil:

[Zboner]

it will never happen if gas stays this high, who would want to buy a gas guzzler when it $5 a gallon?

[BlackTAWS6]

I have been seeing pictures for ever of the "5th Gen" camaro. I really do hope that they do bring them back like the pics. I have seen some of the Chevelle concept drawing, too. They were the same retro still as the camaro

[GatorSS]

I have had enough of the retro look. I sure won't buy one if they go retro like the mustank. That's just what we need, a copy cat retro. What's next, the C7 Corvette going retro?

[graphicsgod]

I'm just hoping it looks like this ;). Don't need that retro shit. Look what they did to the charger man (god thats a horrible looking car) :cry: !! Just bring back a restyled fourth gen... PLEASE :)!!

[HioSSilver]

I can't wait to see a new Camaro again. The firebird should stay dead, they lost there personallity in 1982 when they started putting smallblock chevy's in them.

[LuS1fer]

Dear GM,

I am British and I would like a new Camaro Z28 to replace my 1998 LS1 which is starting to wear around the edges. I would like to thank you for permitting me the pleasure of owning this car which I tried to replace with one of your wonderful Corvette Z06's. But here's the thing see. The Corvette only has two seats. Imagine that? A car with two seats and me with a 5 year old daughter and one on the way. So again, thank you for the pleasure I've had from this car sitting in the garage, not competing in any way, shape or form with my Z28 which I can use every day as it has 4 seats.

So please, don't feel bad about putting 400 or even 500bhp in your next Camaro because that's actually what I want in my family four seater car because you may as well concede this one, I'm just not going to buy a Corvette ever again. In fact, I'm trying to sell the one I've got because I can't actually ever use it.. though it looks real pretty in my garage and would impress the neighbours if I ever got it out. No, what I need is a brilliant new Camaro Z28, just like the one I prefer to my Z06. Polish up the dynamics, improve the handling, hey, even give it a HUD and a titanium exhaust if you want because here's the thing if you missed it - IT DOESN'T COMPETE WITH THE CORVETTE.

Now here's the next thing. If and when I sell the Z06, I'm going to have to replace the Z28 which, I may have mentioned, is now growing old. Much as I would love another Z28, they're pretty hard to come by in the UK and even if I could find one, it would be at least 3 years old and I'd really like a new car. I suppose what I'm really needing is a FOUR seater car which is lighter than a bloated and ugly GTO and quite light on it's feet with some real style. I'm looking really hard at this car here which is called a Mustang and it looks ideal except it hasn't got a Chevy badge or an LS engine which is really what I wanted.

If you don't have anything to offer me, then please don't think I didn't like your cars, you just forced me into a corner and I could be dead by 2009 and can't wait for you. I'm sorry someone ruined your lineup and sorry that when you designed the C6, you used a 7 series BMW as a model. Hope you get well soon.

Regards

LuS1fer

[02NHRAtransAm]

I hope it comes back, but in a way i also hope that it doesnt. Just makes my 01 SS & 02 T/A worth more ... in my opinion...

[LIGHTS_OUT]

here is a new pic i found

[Hark_Z]

That's the first pic iv'e seen that I actually like.

[97lt1ss]

kinda looks like something jaguar or aston-marton would shit out...

[Hark_Z]

Your exactly right I can see that. I can't wait to see the new camaro..Many of us live for f-bodies and are obsessed, it's gonna be so weird to see the new ones. It's gonna change everything when the camaro returns. I can see everyone being critical when it comes back, but I don't think GM will dissapoint us. We just all need to have faith! :yup:

[graphicsgod]

here is a new pic i found

Where have I seen that car from :think:??! Looks very familar, kinda like a Jag... hmm.

I still like mine better tho :D!

what ever they do i hope they dont go retro i wanna see something i havent seen before

[Hurley711]

Jesus Frickin Christ the internet is a horrible thing sometimes. That most recent black car pic is a photochop of a proposed "New Supra" which was also bullshit. IT's the SUpra back end just redesigned a little to make it look more like a retro Camaro.

Ha!! Some of the "concepts" are laughable at best. The wierd thing is that they don't bother to say that 99% of those are fanboys renderings, and not of GM.

I technicly don't care for any of em. If I wanted a first gen or a GTO/grand am rip off, I'd go buy one!

Rob

[seriousblack]

be careful what u wish for-you may get it! everybody wanted the GTO and look how that turned out! everybody wanted the charger (thought they were getting the 1999 concept car, wish they did) Now look what they did to it :(
Check out www.arkanascamaro.com for some neat 5th generation pics, it may change your mind in reference to retro styling-Later Bro

[seriousblack]

:lol: thats funny!

[seriousblack]

sorry, wasn't wearing my glasses, thanks for correcting it :sillyme:

[sonnyred]

whopping 155 hp?
ground shaking 207 hp?
If thats the case i guess ill have to keep my 2000ss.

[seriousblack]

Where did you get those Horse power numbers from? The article stated a LS2 400hp Motor for the SS & Z-28 and a base model with a V-6.

[whoa guy]

what ever they do i hope they dont go retro i wanna see something i havent seen before

i dont think the camaro nameplate will come back. i think the Chevelle name will be the next rear wheel platform from GM.

[camaroz28]

Check out camaroz28.com insiders have posted there, and have said there will be a new Camaro concept at the 06 Detroit Auto Show.

[TheSilverDragon]

does anyone really believe gm would be so stupid as to produce such weak camaros? it would be the most pointless move they've ever made. if that isn't a joke then i'm homer simpson.
anyways, i heard that gm is going to present a concept camaro at the detroit show this january. from there it all depends on the response they recieve.
personally, i really don't want the camaro to come back. my car's future value will drop because of it (currently it is the last year of the Camaro SS). but, on the other hand, with the camaro and firebird gone and the gto not selling for sh!t, those ugly new mustangs are taking over (and who the hell thinks those things look good? they look the like the bastard child of the cool old 'stangs mixed with the previous generation, they look cheap and ugly as sh!t man)

[transam98]

that is hot i would buy one when they come out.

[Demon_Speeding]

"We have also redesigned the drivetrain with many exciting choices to choose from. First the base Camaro model comes standard with the reliable "Iron Duke" inline 4 cylinder, developing an astonishing 105 horsepower out of only 2.5 litres of motor.

I'm raising the BS flag on this one. That's straight out of the '82 advertising shit. The "Iron Duke" isn't even around anymore...hasn't been for a long time. Personally I think somebody is full of shit.

[seriousblack]

you on?

[Zboner]

god i hope they do not bring back the CHevelle then mine will not be worth as much!

[TheSilverDragon]

actually, i don't think it will effect the value of your chevelle much if they brought it back, not nearly as much as those of us with late model camaros will be effected by a new camaro. i personally would like to see a new chevelle before a new camaro, but thats just me.

[seriousblack]

:ar: If they do that last concept pic posted -GM will definitely go under! It looks like SHIT!

[Zboner]

i do not want them to bring the Chevelle back, 1 cause i do not want them to butcher the greatness of the car like Dodge did to the Charger.

[seriousblack]

Couple of months ago Motor Trend (issue with Bullitt & New Charger) said a new Chevelle & Camaro are Dead! Zeta platform not good enough, Sigma platform to expensive $.

[Zboner]

if it turns out like this i will turn to the ford side.


http://www.fast-autos.net/chevrolet/ss2.jpg

[seriousblack]

if you saw the 99 concept Charger-you would REALLY hate this new one-The 99 CONCEPT WAS AWESOME

[Zboner]

i did see that concept pic, and yes i liked it, a 4 door muscle car makes no snese to me at all.

[seriousblack]

Actually if you saw the pics Road & Track did on that SS You might think again, thats not a good angle. But they need to do it in a coupe! I saw it at the Miami Auto show last year.

[Zboner]

i know it needs to be a coup.

[seriousblack]

Just viewed your pic -Nice O2 SS, I got an 02 SS in Black also! You Race yours?

[seriousblack]

We'll see what GM Decides to do, but they need to get off their ass'es soon, or I'm bailing on them after mine is paid off next year! I heard the only car remaining using the zeta platform W/ Rear wheel drive V-8 will be the "next generation" GTO FOR 2008-Not including ther Corvette of course.

[TheSilverDragon]

Just viewed your pic -Nice O2 SS, I got an 02 SS in Black also! You Race yours?
yeah, but only when i'm not supposed to ;) actually, i kinda have stopped that too since i got my ticket, but every once in a while i let loose.
i don't remember the charger concept, but i remember the mustang concept, and that one i liked, but when they actually came out with it, i nearly vomited. as long as gm doesn't follow the trend set by chrysler and ford, they'll be ok. i'm torn between whether they should go retro or not. if they did retro right it would own the 'stang, on the other hand, it would appear as if gm were copying ford if they did follow that path.

.... this is a little off subject, but i thought this was hilarious
:redx:

[sonnyred]

I Dont Know What To Say About The Zeta Platform.when I Was In New York Last Month I Read Gm Had Stopped Any Plans To Proceed With Zeta.i Love
My Camaross.it Still Gathers A Lot Of Good Comments Any Where I Park It.i Had A Lady That Came Over Staring At The It The Other Day Wanting To Know The Make She Wanted To Buy One.the Demise Of This Beautiful Car Was Lack Of Advertisement.there Wasnt A Stang That Perfomed Or Looked As Good.have Faith Gm Will Wake Up And Get Thier Asses In Gear.

[seriousblack]

Try to locate a website that has the 99 Dodge Charger Concept-That was HOT! if they did "that" Charger the new Mustangs would have been SLAM DUNKED! As far as Retro styling if GM can build a winner production camaro based on retro styling they will- not because they want to copy Ford But you can't ignore the success of the new mustang which translates into HUGE PROFITS $$$$$ for GM.

[fredg369]

I don't know if any1 read this article or not but it gives me hope for the return ofd the camaro

Found on GM insider news

Camaro/Chevelle- Chevy has an all new sporty coupe set to debut in 2007 on the Zeta platform. This car is very similar to the 2007 GTO, with the exception of tighter styling. At this point the assumption is that this car will be the all new Camaro. There is however an outside rumor that this car may be hastily redesigned and given a more appropriate name such as Chevelle. Then GM would design a Camaro on an all new midsized RWD platform loosely based on a lengthened Kappa platform. This platform (rumored to be called "Beta") was first previewed in the Holden Torana TT36 concept shown at the 04 Sydney International Auto Show. This would slightly delay a Camaro to possibly 2008. Either way, we will keep you updated!

Here is the link....also talkes about the return of the grand national....sweet

Well there you have it.
They are not gona use a zeta or sigma.Talking about a lengthened Kappa platform or a new Beta platform.
Tell you the truth I wonder if the GN is comming back...How much power you think they can get out of a new turbo charged 3.6 V6? Could be fun and use less gas.300 Hp on a lightweight plateform,might make some nice numbers.:firedevil

As for the video of the "so called" Camaro, I dunno... don't really like it. It looks cool as a car on it's own, but I would be pissed if they slapped the Camaro logo on it! Looks too much like a Cougar or something :think:.

i think that car is ugly, its not a muscle car, its looks like Mazda Rx8, chevy just needs to let the Chevelle rest and never bring it back, if they do i think it will discrase the name. nothing in my mind will be better the a LS6 454 4speed Chevelle, i mean they could run high 11's-12's right out the factory.

I think somebody should tell these car companies that a four door car is NOT a "Sports Car". It's a family car, no matter how "Sporty" you make it.

exactly, and they make the cars they bring back a joke, thats why i hope the Chavelle does not come back.if they want a 4 door car bring thre Bel air back.

Its alive and will be back...not the Firebird though...the GTO took care of that, kinda cornered the market for the Pontiac demographic buyers
I saw pics of the 2008 to and the prototype gto looks like the 67 gto with the 69 judge wing on the trunk

[seriousblack]

it just so happens that GM High Tech Performance magazine (recent issue) showed a concept GN in Black looked similiar to GTO, Nice design! w/ a twin turbo V6 450 BHP-Keep praying to the Muscle Car Gods! :notworthy

I've got a theory. I think GM rests names every now and then. Sometimes they have to like in the F-Body situation, but they always come back, especially if they are popular like Camaro Firebird and GTO. I don't really like the new GTO but they did bring it back almost soon as the firebird left. Camaro and Firebird have been out for 35yrs, THEY'RE COMING BACK. I bet both of them. Maybe not at the same time, but both will be back.

My other theory is GM is trying to repeat history. Back when the first mustang came out around 65, 2years later we have F-bodies.

The new 05 stangs just came out with this new retro look, I think GM is watching fords sales with it before they try to make a retro Fbody. I mean they already did with the SSR.

Here's a little evidence to prove my point,

After two years of watching the Ford Mustang enjoy tremendous success, General Motors finally launched its entry into the pony car segment, the Chevrolet Camaro. Although available with a mediocre six cylinder for volume sales, the Camaro could be equipped with several V8s and a myriad of performance options. Then, of course, was the famous Regular Production Code, Z/28, that would change the industry's view of pony cars.

That's about the first Camaro. This is why I think they're going to try to repeat history and plus everybody is hearing 07. That's a 2 year difference.

I also wouldn't be suprised if GM put that flyer out talking about a 4cyl SS to make Mustang owners feel comfortable until it comes out and before they no it we pull out with 475hp.

4cyl F-bodies have occured, but GM will not let us down like that. That would just be wrong!

The camaro is coming back,brother-in-law works for gm and he said they moved up the return date after seeing the success of the mustang and even further up after they got in financial trouble. G.M. is almost as bad financially as chrysler corp. was in the late 70's early80's when lee iacoca came into save them.It's going to be a retro look based off the 69 camaro.the different models will have differences about them like they did back then such as doors over headlights ETC...The plant is in canada and they have already started retooling the plant,it's supposed to be kinda a secret one of the news channels did a story on it.How the plant was shut down then all the sudden years later they come in hire people and noone will talk about whats going on. hate to say it but G.M. lost their ass bt puting all their eggs in one basket(suv's)and just giving the rest over to chrysler an ford.Chrysler is after Ford now by marketing their 300c to police departments.People want american muscle that's why ford is doing great in the car market.The gto is a holden car from australia i believe,and its been out many years.Wouldn't have one if you gave it to me.Maybe GM execs are finally seeing the light ....we'll see soon i hope..

So whats gonna be under the hood of the 2007 Camaro?
And so it will look like all the retro drawings that everyone is posting up?:think:

[lawdog]

They haven't said what motor they are going to put in it.

[x-40oz-x]

[fredg369]

[LS1Z28]

The plant is in canada and they have already started retooling the plant.


What plant? Gm tore done St.Therese so where exactly are the suppoed to build it?

[lawdog]

They didn't tear all of it down just some of it and now it's rebuilding.They needed some more poen spaces cheaper to tear old and build new is what I was told.

[GTOPT]

Bring it back x 2
