I find this really amusing.

They are SO stuck on the 4.0L V6, not once really mentioning the V8 300/320

208 hp, 208hp
These are car guys (or claim to be) and yet not once has it been metioned that the V6 has 240 ftlbs at 3500RPM!

They need to talk about the new Mustang (good or bad, I see no bad so far) since they have nothing "new" to talk about. So sad.

The amount of time and posts that are made eluding to the next-gen camaro makes me laugh so `hard. Don't these guys know there will be no camaro??? They should get behing the GTO and move on. I guess there is some talk about the chevelle coming back, but even that's somewhat sketchy. I would hate to be so dead-set on something that's not going to happen. Oh well. At least the Stang's not going anywhere... B)

Yeah and if they did come up with a new chevelle they would ruin it with some more of thier poor design choices. Probably come out looking like the Impala.

Beatiful.

I would buy one in a second assuming it had nice interior and drivetrain.

Trans am would be even better.

This one is by some design school kid, not gm. The original even had 4 lug wheels on it. May as well take an ION and just chop a 68 nose on it.
"It started out with me being into all the retro designs that are out," says the 19-year-old Horton. "

It has no flow, no consideration of powertrain or interior space, nor any sense of productability. It also has nothing to do with the "idea" of a camaro. Even a Fiero would need more metal to cover its innards. It is roughly the proportions of a solstice concept, yet even that had to be enlarged to make producion, a two seat 4 banger with no storage space. Its a childish swoop car with stuff tacked on, nothing original. Even the idea that 4 seats would be there, when the front seats could never fit a driver in it is hillarious. Its not even physically possible to make a car out of this or thought out in any way shape or form. Its just a cartoon.

F-body guys are SOOOOO desperate for a car they make a big stink out of this stinker.

F-body guys are just going through the seven stages of grieving, I beleive they are now in Denial, next will be Anger, than Fear(this stage should occur sometime around October) and then Bargaining(this will occur sometime around Nov, when a mad rush is made on Ford dealerships by former GM loyalists)

OWNED~!

I feel dirty after perusing that Camaro forum. It just feels weird to type "Camaro."

There seem to be some pretty knowledgeable people there though.

EDIT II: Nevermind, the smart ones got overwhelmed by the $%&#ing idiots who thought that the spinners on the '05 V6 wheels were like the spinners you see in hip-hop videos.

its just dumb, scroll up to the photo and put two fingers over the "hole" in the front with camaro-lookin things stuck in it.

Should get bm or chaz to take that part and quick-chop it on an Ion or solstice.
