#218 of 231 ANYONE HAVE ANY SOLID WEIGHT SPECS YET? by ebae Aug 31, 2007 (1:40 pm)
Yes, the new camaro is nice to look at, but the #1 consideration for true enthusiasts should be the car's weight, period. Everyone knows that the zeta platform adds about 400 lbs when compared to either the f-bodies (old camaros) or v-bodies (gto, monaro, etc.) due to the more complicated IRS. (Look at the current g8's and holden commodores.) For those who dont know the origin of the zeta platform, it is a cheapened version of the Cadillac Sigma platform developed in the 90's...actually it is identical except for the lack of lightweight composite materials. Also, this car is MANDATED to have 5 star crash rating and it WILL have displacement on demand...all of which add a considerable amount of weight. I cant see this thing coming in at less than 3800 lbs...which means that, performance-wise, the new camaro will be inferior to a 2004-2006 GTO with a LS3 crate motor, which is coming next year. If that turns out to be the case, there is NO WAY that I'm going to buy a new camaro with LESS performance potential than a 5 year old goat, no matter HOW good it looks. (Yes, I know that the last generation F bodies are lighter still, but solid rear axle = doo doo). Replies to this message: advequityguy (Nov 08, 2007 3:37 pm)

Replying to: ebae (Aug 31, 2007 1:40 pm) Why whine about a couple hundred pounds? The thing to whine about is that GM cancelled the project twice, causing it to get to the market a scant 4 years late, and its gonna cost waaaayyy more than it should. And it'll still be a Chevy.

If they build them...people will by them. I know I will. I agree building different versions for pricing is the ticket for the life of the camaro. As long as a "fast" version is available (which I'd buy).This legend should NOT die !

I love the Camaro. I had a 1974 and a 1976. I'm glad that they are coming back. I plan to buy one, my mustang will be paid off by then and it will be time for a new car. I have a limited 2004 mustang converable, which I truley love and have a good time driving,but when I heard that the Camaro was coming back, I knew it was time for another one. Haven't heard what the starting price will be. Does anyone know?

Replying to: navigator89 (Jan 16, 2006 11:35 pm) If you are going to drive a heavier car then it should be a V8. My mustang is a 6 and sometimes it can't get away from its self. Gas milage is good with a 6 but the V-8 can get you where you need to go in a lot less time. If you have to worry about the gas milage, then a Camaro isn't the car for every one.
#224 of 231 This Camaro Rocks by mscamaro Apr 24, 2008 (7:17 pm)
I can't wait!! Ever since I saw the first protocol on this, I started saving my money. It sure sounded sweet, flying by on that test drive video. I can't wait to get my hands on one. I already have my name on a waiting list. Replies to this message: paisan (Apr 25, 2008 5:19 am) lv2seeit (May 11, 2008 8:46 am)

Replying to: mscamaro (Apr 24, 2008 7:17 pm) Are they still planning on putting a 6MT in this car? This will give it a distinct advantage over the Challenger IMO.   -mike

Replying to: mscamaro (Apr 24, 2008 7:17 pm) Where did you get on the waiting list for that camaro. I love it and must have one.....can you customize color and everything?   lv2seeit
#227 of 231 Motor Oil by lostwrench1 Jul 28, 2008 (2:41 pm)
Wow! The new Camaro's V-8 will take more than 8 quarts of motor oil. And its V-6 will take more than 7 quarts!
