my dd is an integra and my garage queen is a 4th gen SS

 

That explains a lot.

 

Lol. You know your loved (or feared) when people hate you....lmao! Then join forums dedicated too you to spread discontent.

 

Although, if I spend 34k on my car and you spend 70k+ you should beat me in a race! I like the fact that Chevy actually did a great job on the suspension and those wide (greatly needed) tires. If produced Ford better step up to the plate!

 

I don't mind...it's fun having them on the forums. And I enjoy being on Camaro 5. The fan boys on both sites are hilarious. I like the refresh other than the tail lights and that stupid hood vent. Hopefully Ford steps up with something awesome too.

 

Dodge is gonna be comin in to play with their next gen Cuda. Although bot quite the line-up that Ford or Chevy has, i still feel like the new age of pony car wars has begun

 

Yep, and I think it's here to stay for a while (pony wars). Dodge may mess the 'Cuda up and make it a five door family sedan....lol

 

Don't forget the factory 30 inch rims.

 

It'll prob be the next crossover suv...the all new Dodge Cuda 5 passenger small SUV. Available with the new Hemi 3.6L V6

 

Yes and no - I'd hate to see the next Boss or Boss replacement starting out in the 60-70k price range just to compete with the Z/28 if Ford considered using the Boss name in that manner (the Z/28 is after all the Boss Mustang's natural competitor given both marque's histories - although the 1LE has muddied that somewhat).

This really seems like GM's version of a Porsche GT2 RS now that I think about it and will probably be produced in similar numbers - great for the few well heeled Camaro nut swingers that can afford it, great for the cover story in the buff rags but otherwise it'll probably be a unicorn inhaling rainbows and farting pixie dust.

 

I think ford could give a regular boss for a 1LE competitor and then a 302R or something like that closer to the Z28. If they are able to run in a race series out the box. Might be a nice factory deal and make it easier for some grass roots teams. But I think it ultimately depends on how the Z28 does. If it doesn't sell well, then ford will stick where they are bc the boss cars sold well and got tons of praise

 

Im sure svt will engineer like a true track pack on the gt mustang. Rear seat delete with a cross brace, bigger brakes from Baer or Brembo, simple drilled slotted rotors instead of carbon ceramic, too expensive. Remapped ECU, manual seats, 6-speed, better bigger tires such as 255 front 305 rear. And a host of other improvements.

 

I agree the z28 can be easily matched, all Chevy did was throw money at it, no break throughs here.

 

Believe it or not this isn't the only ford site i'm on Now I know how the ford owners on the GM sites I'm on feel, but hey we can learn from each other and help eachother out . . . stirring the pot in good fun never hurts either

Can't truly compare an LS engine to a Ford engine because they are 2 different types, main difference would be the fact we are running 1 cam with 1 intake and 1 exhaust valve.

I like the 5th gen Camaro, but I'll keep my 4th gen because the blind spots on the new one are horrible. Also a car payment will suck to have again, the registration fees per year are quite expensive compared to what I have now and the weight on the car needs to be addressed big time!!!

btw the comparrision of the engine bays and how GM is copying Ford...
2004 Pontiac GTO

 

Lol @ clothes-hanger strut

 

Just saw this.

Z/28, eh? Nice to have it back, and in a meaningful way.

I didn't like how Chevy threw the 'Z' badge around in the 80s and 90s. Z used to mean something. Looks like now it will again. But what a rediculous price to pay to get a Z. I'm still confused where the Z/28 is supposed to slot in with and who it's aimed at?

 

i agree i think GM is making a mistake of having it at the price it is set the be sold at

 

I don't really blame GM for what it's going to be priced at. They are giving the die hard z28 guys everything they asked for. Those guys should know a 40,000+ SS with a 15,000 engine, 2,500 seats and 7,000 brakes isn't going to be 47,000-48,000 they are throwing out on Camaro 5.
And I don't think it's aimed at any of the pony cars....this thing on paper is gonna be Porsche GT2 maybe even GTR fast.

 

Aiming at Porsche and Godzilla will only end in disappointment. I know it undercuts those cars in price, but you're asking the Camaro buyer to stretch his budget to the breaking point for one of the best pony cars ever made and making him/her think he/she can run with the big boys.

I don't know. It's a lot of money just for the priviledge of losing to a Porsche.

 

I think they should have looked at other things with the car instead of giving it an LS7. Don't get me wrong I'm a die-hard GM guy and I love that engine, but that car needs a major diet first and stripping it of sound deadening carpet, speakers and a/c is not the way to go.
I agree I don't think it will be aimed at any of the pony cars because frankly the only one that can measure up is the gt500, dodge has nothing and will they ever?
