Frankly I tend to agree after last wekend. I have the Bose system in my '06 Impala and both the standard stereos in the cheap Mazda 3 I rented in Chicago last Saturday and a friend's new Fusion sound much better than mine. The Fusion is really nice -great depth of sound -the whole car sounds like a speaker. My '03 Deville also sounds better and it only has the standard stereo. I'll take your advice. The Bose system sounds shrill even with the treble turned down. I had Bose Acoustimass speakers at home and they didn't have good base even with the base module on the floor. I didn't try out an Impala with standard sound but from what I hear there isn't much difference between that and the Bose. The Fusion was great though. GM needs to get with the program.

430 HP!!! by casull

So back on track. The national unveiling fo the 2008 Corvette was this weekend and they have officially released the numbers on the new LS3. This motor BETTER make it into the Camaro.
 
It has 430 HP (436 HP with optional exhaust upgrade) and 424 ftlb of torque! Looks like GM is going to own the modern day muscle car wars. The Challenger's 425 hp Hemi and what ever the Mustang will have by then will be no match for this beast.
 
I can't wait for it to be sitting in my driveway!

It will be priced in the same lines as the Mustang starting around 20K.

I expect an SS version (LS7 engine) will sell for ~50 grand:

I think it's a shame Chevy didn't have any to sell, because if they had a booth in the parking lot with Camaros on hand, they would have sold out. The audience reaction was absolutely overwhelming when the car made it's appearance onscreen. There was an audible gasp as everyone took a collective breath, the crowded theater cheered and clapped. It was a pretty cool reaction to the car. Figuring many people aren't caraholics like us internet enthusiasts, they might very well have been seeing the Camaro the first time. And it was goooood.

For me to buy this car, I want it made IN AMERICA and no where else. Canada for me is just a matter of crossing Ambassador Bridge. Its close to America but it is not America. If I want a car I want it to be made here in America. I already have an impala made in canada and i regreat not buying a true american car.

Well, if you're going to split hairs, technically Canada is IN America, as is Mexico. I know you mean the United States OF America (as do most when they use the term), and don't get me wrong, I agree with you on principle (even though I also drive a "Canadian" Impala). But I suspect a lot of what would be considered classic "American" cars were actually produced in Canada (I know my previous '67 Dodge Polara was). In the modern world economy we live in, I personally feel you've got to look at where the profits go for a vehicle as well. I'd rather drive a Canadian-made Impala than an Ohio-built Accord, because the profits from the Accord go overseas.
 
That's why I'm looking forward to the new Malibu - made in the USA pretty much no matter how you slice it (though some of the platform design may have European ancestry, since it's tied to the Saturn Aura, which in turn stems from an Opel).

Well the Car is a U.S.A car, and that is why i bought it because the profits go back to GM a car company. But for an American Muscle car, it needs to be built here in Detroit to bring us back up and to help our economy to give more jobs to those who need it here desperately.

Well then, should a German not buy an Opel made in Germany, while having the profits go to GM of USA? It works both ways ya know in a World economy. The Ohio built Honda Accord is mostly American made parts and event the engine is made in the USA. All along the way, people have profited from the building to selling of that car. Just a thought.
 
Of the Camaros, the first generation is still my favorite, followed by the fourth gen. up to '97, which is pre-Concord look nose (though not the worst in history-just not an improvement). The second generation is yet another good looking car, and the third generation was in some ways a good looking car, if not quite so sturdy or solid looking. The fifth generation seem too - too, as in tallish belt line, excessive width and sort of out of proportions compared to the original. A classic '97 Z28 is gonna look leaner and sleeker. Could be long term buy and hold car. And those SS in fourth gen. really a bargain.
