#51 of 231 '67 RS/SS by 91landcruiser Apr 10, 2006 (6:34 pm)
I am waiting for the new camaro to come out, which it will, and see if they make a SS model. My first car was a '67 RS/SS and just loved it. Can't afford to buy it back from it's current owner now. So, I'm hoping Chevy will answer my prayers and produce a SS version and maybe a RS/SS version down the road.   A man can dream can't he? . . . .

To get the volume GM needs, they need a range of vehicles that is easy to get into and smaller than the 4th generation. Base engines don't need more than 240 HP for gas mileage and insurance, but the carline needs to ramp up to an SS, with maybe 400 HP, uplevel tires, and a suspension package.

If you recall, the '68 covertable(yellow/black) was a big eye cather for the women. I do agree Chevy will have to produce several models and trim levels but, I don't see any problem with sales. Mustang will be old hat....The Dodge Challenger is what GM will have to keep an eye on.

Replying to: bottgers (Jan 20, 2006 2:07 pm) Same old thing. Another GM attempt at a Mustang wanna be. The reasons are simple. The mustang leaves the factory as a great starting point. Beautiful, reasonably fast, better handling. A little tweaking and all the competition will ever see is tailights. Buy the most beautiful PonyCar (the original) Mustang. Open up the Airbox, bolt on an X-pipe, flash the computer and go hunting for the poor guys in the wanna be, poser, competition. Been doing it for years. Simple, inexpensive and loads of fun. Pushrod, backward, GM stone age engineering just can't compete with OHC technology. But hey, buy what you like. We need all American car companies to be healthy and competitive if we are to stay healthy and keep kicking German and Japanese butt. The new Mustang won the first race of the season in Grand-Am cup Daytona, was instantly restricted in the airflow department and forced to run taller gears than the competiton and sill won the Championship 1st year out of the box. Nuff Said.

#59 of 231 Camaro... by exalteddragon1 May 12, 2006 (7:41 am)
I think i said it b4, but this sounds reasonable to me, for 2008 at the earliest or so...   Model Engine Min Output Base Price ----------------------------------------------------- Base V6 OHV VVT DoD 3.5L 224hp (20K) Z28 V8 OHV VVT DoD 5.3L 350hp (25K) SS V8 OHV VVT DoD 6.0L 475hp (30K)   remember that 400 hp is already out of date, when the current GTO has this much, and an SS at 30K will have to beat Mustangs 475hp. To accomplish this power increase, meybe GM will FINNALLY IMPLEMENT THE 3 VALVE DESIGN on the OHV's. That would be very nice. I think the VVT and DoD will be on all GM engines before long. GM needs to make fancy engine covers to car mags can droole all over them, only this way would the public finally know just how much GM is showing up the competition.   Will we see a 6-speed manumatic? GM put that sucker with any base engine to increase fuel economy, it would be great to hear a camaro V6 smashing 30 mpg! Replies to this message: rorr (May 12, 2006 1:25 pm)

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (May 12, 2006 7:41 am) Actually, I'd expect hp ratings closer to 320 for the 5.3l and closer to 425 for the LS2.   "...and an SS at 30K will have to beat Mustangs 475hp."       Oh, you're comparing the SS to the Cobra GT500. Why would it be necessary for a $30k SS Camaro to out-hp a $40k Mustang?   "meybe GM will FINNALLY IMPLEMENT THE 3 VALVE DESIGN on the OHV's. That would be very nice."   That would be nice....and very interesting. Does anyone in the world, anywhere, offer multivalve heads on pushrod motors? Serious question becuase I can't think of any.
