Come on guys, let's give these cars a little more respect! My neighbor has the 09 dodge challenger r/t and it's very nice. He told me that he would trade

Come on guys, let's give these cars a little more respect!
My neighbor has the 09 dodge challenger r/t and it's very nice.
He told me that he would trade it in for the new Camaro in a heart beat though.
I didn't want to laugh infront of his face so I didn't.
The Camaro sure does look and sound good but that's just not enough for me.
But if I were to choose from the 3, it would probably be that Camaro ss [:

Camaro SS = Pontiac G8 GXP w/ Bumble Bee Body kit. End of story.

But it wont matter because besides all of these tests and all the hype of the Camaro and the SS. I think the Mustang will continue as it always has to outsell the Camaro. Girls buys Mustangs and when the convertible comes even more will. Camaro scrapped there convertible plans so they have to case.

Honestly I wouldnt be suprised if GM isn't taking a big hit on the production of this car. Base Corvette engine with G8 underpinnings at $31k something is fishy there. G8 went for more then that if im not mistaken.

Ironically, Bumble Bee wasnt even a true Camaro

And as far as I saw, the new Camaro had 15000 pre-orders or something dumb like that. Crazy, if its true...

Furthermore, just because its in the Corvette doesnt mean its particularly expensive to produce - its a small block chevy for gods sake lol. They use the same or similar platform in TONS of cars!

Correct. It was a GTO in the movie. Saleen made the body panels to make the GTO look like the Camaro. They did a fantastic job, but again, it was a GTO, not a Camaro. GM wouldn't let them use their test mules on the movie because they weren't fully working.

A couple months after the movie came out, GM had a couple of test mules roll out to the local big car meet ups here in Los Angeles to show off the car and answer questions. I showed up just after they'd got there, so I didn't get to see them park, but when the GM guys were leaving with the car, they had a hell of a time "prepping" it just to start the engine.

Yup thats true. Actually it hit 15,000 A MONTH AGO. At least GM will make some $$$$ off it.

Believe it or not, my dad wants the Camaro SS. I told him I want a 370Z he told me its just a children's toy.

Wait till i smoke his *** off

And crazy enough, it's the top dog SS models that are selling the most. Not the 6 bangers like you would expect. Poor economy and high fuel prices be damned!
