What should Chevy's next step with the Camaro be.
I have a burning question, does anybody really care about the Camaro anymore. I love the Camaro personally, and I think that Chevy needs to relaese a retro version that refelects what got the whole idea of the Camaro going in the first place, and no idiot it would not look like a mustang, it would take the best of the first generation and the best of the last generation and combine them to make a car that will appeal to both generations of Camaro buyers, sounds good huh? Here's an idea of what it might look like.

Re: What should Chevy's next step with the Camaro be.
With the retro craze going, a remake of the 1st gen Camaro would be nice, especially with its smaller visual proportions.

I like the looks of that retro Camaro
Even tho I like the looks I cant see it being any more then a dream car for most. I wish GM would use there heads and look at the market for who wants what GM could floor the car world real easy. Just by going back to basics. Produce a two door car without all the extras. No power windows, power locks, dvd player, or other BS. Toss in a option list of v6, SB V8, or BB V8 with auto, 5 speed, or 6 speed. In a rear wheel drive. #1 keep it affordable by useing what they have on the shelf. Like I said back to basics four wheels and a motor that people can get parts for. IMO there are more then enough super cars only the rich can play with. The last thing we need today is another 40k plus car. Think about it wasnt that what the camaro WAS 60's - 80's. A fun basic car that reg people could buy new

You're totally right. They need to make a sports car with multiple options of engine size tranny and any luxuries. The camaro i've always thought of as the sports car for the masses. They need to bring it back that way. Plus the big block wouldn't hurt, that would be awesome. I also liked those camaro pictures. They look way better than new gto. The new gto doesn't even look like a gto. That camaro is beleivibly a camaro. |

Re: What should Chevy's next step with the Camaro be.
Bring back the big block. Why do only trucks, SUVs and Vipers get engines bigger than 350 cubes nowadays?

We need it guys, but will it happen. I realize that these things are done on sales, but do we care about that. I say all we care about is that the Camaro comes back, and with a big block 6 speed option. Chevy is releasing a 572 big block next year, it would be cool for them to stuff this beast into a Camaro huh? David C. Atkin Editor http://hp-car.com |

big block? the stock ls1 out performs almost any big block why would they need that? the only things a big block would do is:
increase weight increase energy usage reduce handling and for what? an extra 50 stock horse? you can get 400 hp out of a ls1 easy there are 6bangers putting out more horsepower than old bigblocks... i think most of you just like the sound of having a bigblock in your car... maybe to compensate for something else? lol

And tell me a 6banger N/A thats putting out more HP than even the most mild 396 that had 325 HP. Oh yeah, that 325 comes with 410 ft/lbs too. |
