would you agree with chevy to make a 2005 chevelle - Page 3

I say bring the Chevelle back. It was the embodyment of the muscle car, and the coolest in my opinion. Any chevelle you find today is either a clapped out rustbucket or a 40,000 dollar trailer queen. The young can no longer afford fast V8 power without daddy's checkbook. THAT is why ricers are so popular. GM has to make it affordable to us minimum wage peons, and easily modified to make it fast. It is ridiculous that the only ones who can afford to go fast in a V8 these days are guys my father's age and older.

I say leave the chevelle a chevelle of old!! Got a 69' and everybody keeps saying if they could make one for 20,000 they would buy one and everybody wants to keep it looking like the old ones well it may only be me but my 69, is well on it's way and for 20,000 I would have to say that I would have one kick ass chevelle built my way like I want it and if I want the ease of feul injection then I can put one on it for that price. but if you just have to have new then I guess we're outta luck It will never be the same I have mustangs and I have seen the new ones and if chevrolet tries to come back with a new chevelle it will just ruin the image they will never make affordable hoarse power again as much as I hate it those days are sadly over..

Bring it back...
The GTO is based on the Monaro from Holden as is the El Camino which is called a Ute here.
Either way Pontiac has always been a bit more for their cars. I believe just because the are just a little more refine than the Chevelle and Camaro.
Don't get me wrong just for grunt power those are awesome. But Ponti's just wanted a lil more creature comforts.
Drive the GTO when it comes out you guys will love it. Great all around car great power and handling.

i think that Chevrolet should make the new 2005 Camaro and Chevelle. One reason why is because Ford out sold Camaro's 5 to 1. I also think that when they do, they should make the camaro have a High Performance option like Ford's Mustang but better. Ford came out with a V10 Supercharged option and Chevy needs to top that. I don't care as long as their price range is anywhere between $25,000 - $30,000 no questions asked. I love Chevrolet but if they can't beat Ford's Mustang by the time I get out of basic this summer or if i don't hear anything good then my sign-up bonus is going to a 2005 Mustang sad to say.

As a previous Chevelle owner and lover I would love to see Chevy bring it back! Low in options, HIGH in performance and it can be done if GM wants to. After all other car companies have done, I feel loyal GM owners need to see that we do have an effect on what is produced. And not feel it is all determined by some 22 year old pencil pushing yuppie who is trying to make a name for themselves in the automotive industry!!!! WAKE UP CHEVROLET! IT'S OUR TURN!!!!!!

I haven't read the entire thread, but no, they shouldn't. If they want a muscle car, think of something else. Bringing back old names from the past is just a stupid attempt at trying to get people to buy it. If they make a muscle car, why does it have to be the Chevelle? Chances are it will be as ugly as hell (kinda like the Shelby Cobra concept). They need to make something that's fast, and if it's a ugly POS that's available with a 4cyl at least it won't be disgracing the Chevelle. I like the fact that I own a car that isn't built these days. I'm all for a new muscle car, but why does it have to be called a Chevelle?

i agree as long as they make it at least as fast as the 1970 chevelle SS 454 you have to realize if you want to remake a legendary car you need to make it good. pontiac f---ed up the new gto and ford's mustang just keeps getting worse. at the rate were going the freakin rice burners are going to be the fastest prduction cars in the us.

ok the ford mustang with the v 10 is slower than the mustang svt. besides that ford would only last you maybe 5 years max.

2005 Chevelle?

Just the "new" GTO and:

-add different headlights and grille ('70-ish)

-add twin tailight assembly (like a '71-'72)

-power bulge hood

-optional SS stripe package

-remove all the luxury crap

-and sell the LS1 powered, 6 spd monster for about $20-23k

DeLiRiuM6969 · 01-19-2004, 10:35 AM

I vote yes but only if they drop the LS6 (not LS-6) 454, 7.4 liter crate engine in the SS models. A 5.7 LS-1 is a GM venereal disease, it spread from the Corvette to the Camaro, to the Firebird, Trans Am, Formula (I hate NEW Pontiacs!!!) and then to the Australian Ute and so on. The Chevelle was torque monster not a speed demon, so throw the fuel injected big block into a mid-size car and make it yank the front tires. Now thats a Chevelle!!! (I own a 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 ProStreet) The 5.7 LS-6 is fine for the base model Chevelles and yes, forget the stupid chrome rims, and electric locks and b.s.

nitroman454 · 02-05-2004, 10:55 PM

here is the 2005 chevelle ss boys i my opinion its a big pile of sh*t it looks like a hopped up caviler yea it has a ls1 in it u guessed it, the weird thing is.. i had a dream about a shorter camaro with a diff back end that halled balls like no other and i herd about the 05 chevelle and i was like hooly shit i dreamed about a car there makein... but then i saw it...
a big pile of sh*t that cost about 35grand not very maney ppl i know could afford that... specially not teenagers like back in the old day u could buy a muscle car by workin at a gas station my persinal opinion it the car maekers especially pontiac with the "hemi" and the "gto" cough cough pile of sh*t and now chevy with the chevelle i think they cant sell cars so now there scrambleing for ideas so there useing old car names that have proved there selfs and now the new versions only old rich bastards can afford to have and they all look gay they dont have any lines or nothing and all this computer crap that u need a dagree in college to work on im just personaly fed up with new cars i hope some1 at chevy is reading this.. mabey they could prove me wrong hah! doubt it! well anyways look in my profile thing to see the pic of the 2005 chevelle ss and let me know..

OrangeKr8 · 02-08-2004, 02:40 PM

YES GM can do this!! after seeing the new mustang, cobra, and GT from Ford,it really makes me wonder if GM is getting the picture? I am wanting to know how the intrest of all of us is going to get through to the ears of someone at GM.

Danny Demon · 02-19-2004, 10:43 AM

The new Chevelle SS is coming.

Ace$nyper · 02-19-2004, 10:47 AM

They will and it'll suck much like the new "GTO" does people will hate it GM will ruin the name for it. Well thats what I think will happen atleast.

Danny Demon · 02-19-2004, 10:52 AM

If you are currently living on a tight budget I have good news for you. There is a sleeper muscle car substitute for you financially challenged hot rodders out there. The 04 Cavalier. Don't laugh. The new Ecotec engine is currently being used in FWD Dragsters putting out over 1000 HP. This from 50% stock engines. Performance parts are starting to be available from GM. With current Rebates and Dealer Discounts the 04 Cav is a steal. Don't worry about the future of GM motorsports. GM is the ONE.
