New Camaro, No Buzz?

[wantsumuscle11]

Does no one know about the 2008 camaro, or does no one like it as much as i do?

[1fastcamarosss11]

it's cool and most like it, but no one knowns when it is coming out? still. i don't even think chevy knows.

[peteSS]

i think everyone knows about it ,but chevy hasn't released any specs or engine options that are definite. As soon as some options are released, talk will really pick up again.

[basballny2]

i believe they were aiming for 09

One of the local Chevy dealers here in Phoenix (Van Chevrolet I believe) is currently airing a commercial on TV about having a lottery contest where they're giving away an 09 Camaro. You have to test drive a new vehicle and sit through their sales pitch. They don't mention what type though. I've thought about doing it even though they're across town from me.

My work is doing the front and rear fascia's for the camaro I spotted them at one of our other buildings
I was told production will start first quarter of `09.

[Mr. Hyde]

My local dealer said each dealership will get 4, and we can expect to see them in Dec. 08..with the Vert in Spring. The lastest mag said that GM has confirmed that the Camaro will get the LS3, that makes sense because they want to streamline production, and the Vette already has the LS3 with 435HP. The Camaro is slated to get a 400HP version, with a 450HP Hi-Po optional version. GM is suppossed to be offering all kinds of aftermarket type options through their own dealerships. I.E. headers, CAI, suspension upgrades, etc...

GM's official production date is late 08 with first available for purchase in the beginning of 09.

Time will tell on when it "officially" comes out. I hear so many stories it makes my head spin. I have no doubt it will be produced. I intend to wait til about mid year to see what comes about with availability, price, options, bugs, etc. I'd like to buy a loaded boat vert SS or Z28 as a daily driver. That way I can retire the 89 RS and turn the 02 Z28 into a "street legal" track only car.

I wonder if GM will underrate the LS3 in the new camaro like they did with the 4th generations?

Your information is correct!
Didn't they tell you about the Super Charged 6.2L Camaro?
GM will be doing a lot of cool things with the Camaro.

Have a few friends working for Chevy and it is set to release in 09. Cant wait to see what options are gonna be available for them, it should be pretty sweet. I just hope the price tag doesnt get real high on em so they end up getting discontinued again. Wayyyyyy to many Stangs on the road..

i read in car and driver or a mag like that, that they are going to be base priced at $25k with a top of the line running around $35k.

I dont see how its not. The LS2 was about 50 HP more than the LS1 with slightly better heads .3L more and slightly hotter camshaft. The LS3 has much better heads .2 more liters and better camshaft yet could "only" muster 35 more than an LS2? It's underrated or detuned for hotter versions IMHO.

Dodge is taking orders Monday Dec. 3rd for the first Challengers, all 6.1 Hemi SRT models with numbered dashes for $37,995 in black, silver or orange only. Other models and prices not released yet but watch the dealer mark up.
