A little weight reduction news from GM.

GM CEO orders 15% diet for all new models by 2016. Bodes well for 6th gen Camaro? | Camaro ZL1 Z28 SS LT Camaro forums, news, blog, reviews, wallpapers, pricing – Camaro5.com » Blog Archive

15% from the camaro would be in the 500-600lb range, which would bring the camaro down from 3800lbs for a manual SS to 3300 lbs. That's a huge difference. This means the v6's will be right under 3200 lbs. With this kind of weight loss on the same motors and updated suspensions? This would make camaro, the fastest affordable sports car out today if it happened tomorrow? Damn. The mustang may lose a little weight and the Z is supposed to be substantially lighter next gen.

It looks like we went from the HP wars to the weight wars.

Teased photo of 2014 grille. Looks like the grille might be thinned out???? Looks strange to me... I wonder if they will reduce overhang???

i think I like mine better :-)
sometimes newer is not necessary better.

More Teasers/Renders from Chevy. The ZL-1 shows the full frontal. I like the grille in general BUT, the "whole front" seems too big for those narrow lights... Maybe its just the way the photo was taken? I dunno? I'm guessing thats the direction they're going with the next gen headlights??

It looks like it's squinting...

Besides, didn't anyone tell them that it was the interior that needed changing?

the interior was refreshed in 12, everything was improved but the steering wheel. They found a way to make it 3x uglier than it already was.

For me, I like the Camaro's interior better than any other car I have ever owned because of the HUD (head up display). That thing is just way too cool. No other non-GM car has it.

The Q50 will have it this summer.

Good for them. Car manufacturers should put that technology into their cars. I would love it

That nav looks terribly awkward. Looks like someone bought a nav at best buy and retrofitted it in.

I'll agree there. The Camaro wasn't supposed to have nav because of the On-star. You can get turn by turn through it. But having a unit in the car is so popular they decided to go with it. People rather have the visual aid. (Understandable). So to appease the general public, they added one. It does kind of look like an afterthought. But Chevy's new MyLink is one of the best link systems out there. More advanced than Ford and dodge chrysler's system. It's only $800, which is $1200 less than us.

I personally feel all that techy garbage belongs in SUV's, not sports cars. But hey, to each his own.

hehe. I don't pay much attention on how it looks to tell you the truth. the fact that it's there is a plus for me in time when I have to go somewhere where i have never been before. The selling point of a muscle car is the engine and how it sounds and this car has a pretty good engine/sound. The fact that its Nav doesn't look pretty doesn't deter muscle car lovers like me

I like all that tech in sports cars because I like to DD sports cars.
