| Well Iam quite happy GM is bringing back the Camaro,Ive owned a few of them and had alot of fun with them.Ive always found them to be durable.They take alot of punishment,especially from the younger guys.I think the LS1 should be fine,is a few add on features a guy can do to boost these engines up as well.I think as long as they can keep the prices competative they should do alright.I think price will be the key to this car making it.It has a select market,once its too high then I think most would look to a Vette. | |

Replying to: albook (Nov 20, 2006 5:31 pm) As for the Camaro, I honestly believe they are going to use this car as their flagship product to usher in a new era in American car manufacturing. I would not be suprised to see them offer a powerful V-8 that gets amazing mileage with a new refined interior that plagued GM in the past because they looked so cheap. I can't wait for the car.

Replying to: albook (Nov 22, 2006 6:32 am) If you mean the styling... well that is personal preference. I really do like the look of the new Challenger. However, IMO it is too retro to survive a long life production. |

Challenger is going to be a limited production vehicle Are you sure? I bet it will sell so well that production numbers will be upped. I think this is the case of also better looking "stang." The Mustang is very retro and still sells great. As for performance, Chrylser knows a little something about this nitch, so weight will probably be lower than 3900lbs (that's just humongous)so Challenger should still beat Camaro. And power will definitely be upped to stake any chances Comaro will have with corvette engine and to compete with Mustang Shelby. At the Chicago Auto Show, Challenger got better response than Camaro. and was voted in the top three best concepts there(can't remember if it won). This Camaro is a disapointment. |

The Solstice Coupe Concept car would be the coolest Pony car which GM could produce. It has the looks, the size and weight to be a winner. Should add the 3.6 V6 engine, and bingo, a smooth and fast sports car. The current concept Camaro is just a monster, as is the Challenger. They are going to build the Challenger off the Charger, which is fat enough for a four door family car. It too will be heavy and way too wide. As for those in need of speed, and big engines, just find a used Corvette. I am sure a 6.0 with 400HP or more would fill the need. Actually, the last Camaro SS had the HP and speed most people can't handle. Placing a 3.6 V6 in the Solstice/Camaro Coupe would give it speed like a V8 or better, and handling with the better weight distribution, like a sports car. Zero to a speeding ticket, or ability to wrap the car around a tree can easily be achieved without gas guzzling, huge pushrod engines. If needed, the 5.0 V8 could be an option - something like the Mustang has in the 4.6 V8, though the 3.6 V6 GM has would be a sweet option, IMHO. -Loren
