I see what your saying. That is why a 5 generation Camaro is perfect for me, big car, and a big motor!
-
You really think? And if so why do you say that, just wondering.
-
I liked the last generation MUCH better. Having said that the new Legacy is growing on me, the Outback is just plain ugly.
-
Smaller cars do not excite me sorry, just an honest disagreement. The government in a free country telling what kind of cars and trucks we need to drive doesn't excited me. I guess I like big cars, and always have. We shouldn't have to have our car compaines already struggling trying to meet this standards. That said I just don't think there is anyway we will have a bunch of 8 cylinder American cars running around after the current model cycle.

This will be a BIG hit. I know it.

GM Confirms the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Is a Go
gm4life replied to Justin Bimmer's topic in General Motors
Great news, now I'll will be tempted to get a Z28 instead of an SS. Then again I really don't need 550hp, 426 is enough for me. Glad they are finally doing it though! -
I'd say a G8 GXP, 04-06 GTO or maybe a 5th generation Camaro SS.
-
I am not betting on it with CAFE. I have looked at it and there is no WAY. A V8 might be around but it will be a range topping 50K Z28 and bet it won't be as big as the 6.2L due to the smaller size. I keep saying for my son and I the 5th generation SS is the car for us.
-
And if this is the 6th generation they are talking about it will not be the car for me. That is why I plan on getting a 5th generation SS, I can safely say the 6.2L V8 will be the biggest V8 put in any Camaro from the here on out. Smaller is good but that also means no V8 save maybe for a 45-50K Z28 model prolly won't happen and that is really going to suck. I don't care how small it is, or how nice the interior is or even how nice it looks I want a REAL BIG MOTOR. The 6.2L is that motor. When I know they were stuffing 6.2L 376ci. V8's in Camaro's in 2015 for the last year of the 5th generation and the biggest motor they have for the 6th generation is an uber expensive 5.0L V8 model, that I won't be able to afford. All I will be able to afford are the sissy 4 banger and six models. Anyone else think a 4 banger Camaro is wrong? Or even not having an affordable 8 cylinder motor? Or making the 6 cylinder what the current SS is now, wrong? To me it is, part of what appeals to me is that fact it is more of hybrid between a muscle car and a pony car, and it is not strictly a smaller Mustang. Thats why the 5th generation is the car for me... It is the largest motor put in a Camaro cubic inches wise since 1973/1974-ish which was the 396ci. as I recall. Since then up until the end of the F-body in 2002 the 5.7L was the biggest. Another reason why this is my car, well it will either be mine or my sons. Rest assured one of us with have one in the family. As I have my eye on the new LaCrosse and one Ford product if I do a sedan. I might end up with the next generation Impala or even a Malibu due to the pricing on the Buick. I would like to stay solely with GM because of the luck I have had with them, the excellent new product and my EXCELLENT dealer. The whole government ownership gave me pause, and got me thinking about Ford again and found out what a great car the new Taurus is. If the new Impala is as great as I hope that could very well be next sedan. So do I know for sure what my next car will be? No, but if my son is done with school he prolly will jump on a Camaro. That means I won't have to get one and can go after some "practical" car. The SLE isn't going anywhere either staying with me or with my son. He wants the Bonneville and a Camaro as his two classics. The year of Bonneville and the only year with the SLE has GXP styling and a true RWD V8 powered muscle car for good measure. I do know this the new Camaro is the car for me. The Mustang is too small and the Challenger although cool doesn't trip my trigger!
-
Well I really doubt it, if that car EVER see the light of day! With CAFE standards I do NOT know how they can do it. If it happens it will be a 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder only car save for an UBER expensive small V8 in maybe the upper level SS or Z28. This car as we know it will be one of the last true muscle car, this will be the biggest V8 (6.2L) ever stuffed in a Camaro from here on out and I want one of those. Not some small watered down six cylinder 370Z wanna-be.
-
Right on this will be last generation Camaro I expect, ever. Unless a miracle happens. After 2015 model year this one is gone. No the interior isn't perfect but I'll take a real car, with a real motor over having soft dash plastic anyday!
-
The 'ole G8 & a lot of new touches
gm4life replied to caddycruiser's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
Looks great! I am so jealous! I really like the nav/dash job and also the rear diffuser! -
1962 Impala Hardtop 2 Door Cream (with nice mags, and it was mint) 1963ish Ford Galaxy 500 Drop Top again it was Cream (not as mint as the Impala but nice none the less.) 2010 Chevy Camaro 1 or 2LT with 19inch polished alloy wheels in Victory Red (great looking whip) 2010 Chevy Camaro LT/RS or SS or SS/RS in Yellow with polished wheels, I was to far away to get a good look!
-
And you live in MI? That is just sad...
-
Lots of new Fords around me, Chrysler products seem few and far between, as for GM they seem to be holding steady. Although new Camaro's are popping up!

I've been in OZ a week, I bring you this ...
gm4life replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in Heritage Marques
Can you really do that... And get around it? I have heard of people doing it but how does it work? -
Your right I think the design life for it will make 2015 the last model year. So in my family we are going to have to decide who is getting one and what year... Might as well wait for 2015, and have the last of the bread. Then it would be exactly 10 years newer than my SLE.

gm4life replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in Heritage Marques
So will can consumers get one? Will they badge it as anything? Or is this fleet only, if it is, I will be REALLY pissed. Unless you can get them out the back door, can a dealer do that? -
Victory Red Camaro 1LT with 18 inch wheels and SIM SS stripes. Nice looking unit, and thet drive had a HUGE grin on his face.
-
Build a Zeta or Alpha based twin turbo direct injected 3.6L V6 powered GNX!
-
Go for it! Not my first choice for a semi-classic car, but if you like it go for it. She is in great shape!
-
If I had to limit myself to 5... that cost close or around a 100 grand... 1987 Buick GNX 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge Hardtop Lucerne Blue 455 HO 1969 Pontiac Trans Am 2010 Chevy Corvette ZR1 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum (pearl White of course) Only "Exotic" I want... 2009 Bentley Brooklands in cream with redish-brown leather. Classic BOF construction, the hummm a 6.75 motor would be near god-like. Of course there are lots of cars under 50K I would love to have, some more than the uber expensive ones I listed above... Like a 2nd gen CTS-V and '77 Can Am.
-
I would love this! This would be great, and it would keep people out of more $h!ty small crap boxes.
-
Lots of stuff... Including a 1970 Chevelle SS Red with Black Stripes it was perfect, not sure of the motor, also 1973 Pontiac Grandville 'Vert black on black with Rally II's in mint condition, 1987 Buick GN with t-tops black in good shape, sounded great. I will add more when I recall what else I saw...
