a turbod 4 cyclinder in a camaro? WTF?
ya, gay
it's a good idea. people want fuel economy, power, and the style of the car. they'll get pretty good fuel economy out of the 4 cylinder, pretty good power...260 horse is nothin to frown at especially out of a 4 cylinder, and they will still get a camaro. plus it may push more units out on the streets than the mustang which would keep the program viable to gm and keep them interested in maintaining the line. they'll still be offering v8's and probably a v6 model. i see nothing wrong with it at all.
ford had turbo 4's during the 80's and i've seen some people make those pretty damn fast. the camaro will have the same motor as the solstice gxp which will appeal to the tuners and, as stated, push more units onto the streets giving gm an upper hand. i like the idea.
i hate the look of the rear end. No Z28? :wtf: chevy has watered down the SS name in recent years
As it was back in the begining, first gen Camaros, the Z-28 will once again be the top of the line Camaro. The SS will be a submodel to the Z-28 like it was in the begining.
I liked the prototype, but somehow the production model just doesn't look the same. i don't know about the $30K plus price range on the Z-28. It's a little steep. For that price I can buy another Vette or mod mone some more!
there will be a z-28. the rear end looks sooo bad...besides that looks niceQuote:

And of course, who really cares, because the SS and Z28's are going to rip the competitions asses...
Sure, it seems expensive, but thats where the prices are headed for new cars these days... that puts it directly against the SRT Chargers and Challengers, and LESS the the GT500 (which is the only stang that can come close to competing... the V6 'maro is going to have as much power as the GT stangs, sound familar? LOL)
it looks pretty good
A year after launch, Chevy will introduce a convertible version and after that a high-performance Z28 model with a super-charged 6.2-liter sibling to the Corvette ZR1's LS9 motor known as the LSA.
WOOt they make us wait even longer for the other two options good marketing this car is going places.
why would they make the z28 a supercharged motor with around 480hp and an SS with 400hp? whats up with that? Shouldn't the SS have the S/C motor?
must of overlooked that.Quote:

i over read thatQuote:

Making sure the camaro will flop. It has been sitting in wait for so long by the time it comes out 5$ a gallon will make this car untouchable for the market they are trying to get to buy it.Quote:

I wish we could compete with jap crap but its better to bring in that shit to our country and make others rich.
