If GM does go with the retro look on the camaro, I hope they dont screw it up like they did with the SSR.
SVTdriver said:However hasn't it been reported in the news several times. That Bob Lutz is not a fan of the retro desdign. So the odds of the camaro looking like that would seem very slim.
ryanrule said:that car is NOT the new camaro. it was jsut a render from some kid that was based off a FERRARI body. thats why it looks so good.
mattdee1 said:The Dodge Charger is more than just a rumor. From Ward's:
It looks like I'm going to have to go for a few test drives before I buy my next car.
Should or will look like? I agree it should look like the renderings that were posted. But eill it look like those. Is a whole other matter.02LS1 said:You are correct, Lutz is not a retro guy. I dunno about the odds...all I can say is there are a few people over on cz28.com that are definitely "in-the-know" with GM and these recent concept pics/images are what they are saying the 5th gen should look like. Maybe not exact but close.

SVTdriver said:I thought I heard it was supposed to look more like the concept ss they had out about a year maybe 2 ago.
peyotesands said:what does 375hp equate in MPG? 12-15? Mustang will have nothing to fear and the Camaro will once again DIE. There is such a thing as too much HP.
02LS1 said:The "Chevrolet SS" is a fairly new concept car...I haven't heard about the Camaro and SS concept being tied together except when it first came out. That was talk from a bunch of Camaro owners too...we kinda automatically assume SS = Camaro SS. The SS is a decent looking car and the concept was supposed to have around 425ish HP (can't argue with that) but I don't think it looks anywhere near as good as these retro 1st gen pics...so I hope the "SS" isn't the next Camaro.
The LS1 F-bodies came with around 330-350hp and had no trouble getting around 18mpg city and 25+ highway. Not too bad if you ask me.
Such a thing as too much HP? Maybe...but 375hp ain't even close to it.

I had a ls1 and it got upwards of 25 mpg in the city!.....and that was with an a4. Some people I know have gotten higher, especially with the m6. If the new Camaro looks as good as those pictures, and has 375-400 while handling better than the Mustang AND has a price within 2-3k...it would be crazy to buy the stang!( I may be biased due to thinking the 05' is ugly) A couple things I hope they "fix" compared to the old fbody would be, 1.make the car shorter from front to back 2. Make more m6's and don't charge extra for it! 3. Put a decent rear-end in the car(no 7.5 crap)peyotesands said:what does 375hp equate in MPG? 12-15?

sixstringthing said:OMG! That Camaro looks 20x better than the 05 Mustang if you ask me, it's only one angle but it looks way more proportioned, even if you take away the rims and the drop, it has more curves way better lines and a nicer hood. It would be nice to see that on the road...
SVTdriver said:Just my personal opinion. But the last camaro wasn't nearly as good looking as it should have been. I personally think the best looking camaro were about the first 3 years.
