yea I agree with you.

I was hoping for more but it's not bad.

my honest opinion the best look of the new Camaro is the top down view of it. the hood and roof with the flares of the rear end :yum:


the rest ehhhhh.

The more I look at it the more I think I like it. The belt line is a little too high, still, but I bet it would look really good slightly lowered on nicer wheels. I am sure the performance models will be a lot more aggressive.

All in all I like where GM is going with this.

I think I may have to go test drive one of them once they hit dealerships

I'd definitely consider it heavily if I wanted a 2+2, but I'm dead set on another 2 seater.

I'll tell ya...I looked hard at the new Corvettes when I was looking to replace my Z last year, but lack of availability and Chevy's stupid pricing games moved me to re-up on a 2014 Z. No regrets. BUT....had a 3000 lb Camaro with 440 hp been available in a similar price range, that may very well have been my car.

I wonder how will the mustang respond to this, will thye bump power by adding DI?? - either way I am liking it and can't wait to see the 6th gen z28 / zl1.

Power bump alone won't do anything. They would likely need to lighten up the chassis and find someone who knows how to tune a shock to put up a fight. Seeing as how the 6th generation GT is slower than the current generation 1LE on track, it will likely get it's *** handed to it by a regular next-gen SS. Ford is probably going to be way behind.

Of course track performance doesn't mean anything on the street, but it's still important for sales and internet bragging rights.

Yup, suspension tuning is everything!!!! up to 0.3 seconds can be gained and better track times on suspension alone. This is where mustang is truly losing. Then not offerin PP on the autos? That wasn't a smart move considering the market. If Camaro offers a moonroof? It will further grab sales unless Mustang follows suit.
This generation is gonna be tough for Mustang to attract New Buyers to the Mustang name without dramatic changes... But Ford has been known to do big things soooo.... ????

Heh.

I like it more the more I see it, but I'm guessing the V8 is going to be waaaaaaay more than the Z.

The V6 will probably be in the Z35 ballpark. If it's the about same price, it comes down to preference.

GM said the first year pricing will look very similar to current pricing
It is also said that unlike Mustang. Chevy is not limiting the optioning to the Chevy base cars. You will be able to option out a turbo 4, a v6 and v8 the same way.
Chevy also focused on a huge variety of in-house aftermarket to support Chevy this generation. I think they are hoping to make their extra cash in the in-house aftermarket?

I think the 4 and 6 will only be $1000-2000 difference in price
