I think I like it. However, the color renderings they have on the web site are not even close to what I’ve seen in person. They need to show actual cars painted in actual paint instead on computer generated cars. I didn’t see the “Hugger Orange Pearl” tri-coat listed as an available color. That’s the coolest color of all.

I'd like a 2012 Inferno Orange Metallic or Red Jewel Tint Clearcoat convertible.

I'd also like a 2012 Hemi Orange Challenger.

Gonna have to make a tough decision in 2012.

I'm really not sure why, but it appears that all these new musclecars are weighing 4000 LBS. Shelby GT500's, the new Challenger and now the new Camaro. Heck, can you imagine what a stone they'ed all be if they were built with only 350-375 HP? They need 450-500 to put up respectable times. My Z06 'Vette with only 405 HP has walked all over Shelby GT500's just because it weighs about 900 lbs less!

Mark you are right my 4000 pound GT 500 was a slug in stock configuration really a turd. If Shelby wouldn't have converted it into a Supersnake I would have sold it. 500 HP just wasn't getting it done with all that weight. It really wasn't much faster if at all than my 03 SVT Cobra with 400 HP and 3500 pounds? If we the dumb consumers realize weight is everything where performance is concerned why don't the factories???? Even Carroll Shelby said recently is tired of these overweight retro cars and is working with Ford on hopping up there 4 cylinder rice type cars.
