My 2 cents on the new Camaro...gotta say it

[BUIZILLA]

I agree 100% with Charley........ I am sitting here with $80,000 in cabbage in a bag, to buy a new Z06, and the local dealers want 12k-to-13k OVER sticke, at about $91,000 out the door. They'll order one for sticker, but it's a 1+ year wait they say..... I will pay cash for a black/black Z06 at sticker, and maybe some+++ sticker today....

with that said, if Chevy made a '69 retro with an LS7-500hp, I will write a check today, and if they don't I'll buy something else, probably a Mustang, the same way about 50,000 others will, when they jump on the Mustang/Challenger/Charger bandwagon. If Chevy can sell 36,000 Vette's a year, they SHOULD be able to sell 70,000 to 100,000 '69 retro camaro's a year. Use the LS1 as a base and the LS7 as an option.

What the hell is wrong with them????

I can't stand the new car one bit.

Its hard for us Camaro guys to swallow, but GM will never put the same amount of energy into the camaro as they do the vette. Its the stepchild, it sucks but oh well. If it wasn't for a few guys, Yenko, Rosen, etc. there would have been no camaros that where outside the box. Thank goodness for those guys.

I'm a 21 year old college student, and I must say I disagree with most of the comments. Since I was 15, I have had a few '67 F-bodys. I was able to enjoy them and make a few dollars in the process. I have loved classic cars and always will. I mainly thank my dad and his collection of cars for that. My generation today is mainly taken over by imports. Myself and the few others that enjoy muscle cars hate the situation. But the truth of the matter is everyone my age can't afford most the high horse power American cars. And if we can insurance is a killer. The new Camaro is awesome. I love it. I disagree with taking an old car and designing a new car from it. I want my car manufacture to take a step forward, not take a step back in the past. I will agree that GM puts to much effort in the Vette, and the Camaro is left in the shadow. I also understand that GM is going to design a car that will sell. And if my generation won’t have the money to buy a new car, then listen to the public and make a “new ’69 Camaro”. Either way, I’m glad it’s coming back. I love that the horsepower wars are back too. It’s nice to see what the US manufactures are doing. These are just my two cents, and I know everyone won’t agree with my opinions.

The demise of the 4th gen Camaro IMO, was a threefold problem.
The price of the Camaro was way more than the Mustang to begin with.
Next, the insurance rates where about double for the Camaro
But finally and probably most important, Women bought the Mustang.
So with this in mind ask the women in your life what they think about the new Camaro. For us to get the Camaro in what ever form it takes back, there has to be women buyers.

I asked my wife what she thought of it while my 5 year old son was looking over my shoulder...he cut in and said, "it looks like a Mustang"...and she said, "he's right!"
