I was reading the November issue of Muscle Car Enthusiast magazine and they had a small article with a couple pictures of the new Camaro. IMHO the Camaro is just an ugly, ugly car.

gm is trying to keep pace with the retro muscle cars from the other major players...

i don't think any modern muscle will ever evoke the same emotions that the muscle cars of the sixties did jmo

There was a chevy dealer on Ebay a few months ago[it still wasnt a definite then that the camaro would come out] selling the right to contract one of these. Just send your deposit in, wait 2 years,and then hope they end up making the car??dealers are getting ridiculous,they should worry more about thier market share on thier other models they cant sell...Im getting ready to put a deposit on a 2012 Challenger.5 years will be here before you know it

If i remember correct Charlie,you had made a post some time ago that it is illegal to sell something that you dont have in your possesion or cant get in a reasonable period of time,isnt that true???

i really loved the performance of my 2002 zl1 phase III camaro, although for me, it wasn't the same fun as driving a great classic muscle car like the 1969 camaro. the 2002 did some things much better than the 1969 camaro, i guess for me the visual rewards of the classic muscle cars are more satisfying than the modern muscle cars.

Alan, One thing for sure is with the new cars you dont have to worry about running red lights in the hot weather so the car doesnt overheat , and not worrying about your car not starting

maybe you're right chuck, perhaps the new cars are just too easy.

i know that for me, the more i'm personally invested in a car i.e. blood sweat and tears, the more i love it.

it's gotta start for me though

On the Cheers and Gears GM website there is a brief video of the Camaro from the new " Transformer " movie

and the new cars just don't feel fast. They're almost too refined, and not pound your kidneys brutal. Or maybe the extra excitement is caused by wondering if something is going to blow apart at any second? I'd love to get a new GTO for a DD, but i think i would always like a simple carb'd rusty toy.
