Thumbs up 2005 chevelle ss

Hell yes is my reply to that question... When they decided to get rid of the f-bodies i was so pissed off, so i sent an email to chevrolet telling them how dumb they were and that they should really think long and hard about bringing back the chevelle ss. Im glad i sent that email. hopefully they agree and do make it.

YES they need to build it but they need to put the LS6 in it with a 6 speed! either that or bring the damn camaro and firebird back, which the rumor i heard was they planed to after the gto gets a good following. They also need to put the 6.6 litre back in the ssr like it was in the concept! General motors in general need to get thier heads out of their asses and look at what Ford and Chrysler are doing. GM is getting out done every direction you turn. Point the new mustang looking like the 67 gt500! The hemi trucks and Chrysler is even talking the hemi in the new 300m! Its getting to where the only ones GM are out doing are the rice burners, which you couldnt give me! And i agree they need to price the cars where the averaged working man can afford it. I mean the average american cant afford a 36K dollar car!

Chevelle 05'!

The one reason and the only reason to bring back the Chevelle is Competion. GM has to stay competetive with the Euro-trash and Asian cars. If they don't, then I guess we can get excited about the Malibu or the six-cyclinder Monte Carlo every spring. I would personally love to see The New Chevelle LS6 racing on the streets of Woodward (Detroit) with the new GTO Judge and the new Mustang Cobra. But I guess I am nobody..So I will continue to drive around my 64' Impala until Chevy wants to gain its market share back! Good Luck fellas. Oh, by the way, If you don't change your thinking soon you will be the next K-Mart or Builders Square. Don't forget the Big Three is down to Two now.

so who have you considered to be the drop out, last I checked ford and dodge were still moving so I guess thats chevy?


anyways, I don't support a new chevelle. Chevy would screw it up, the gto is so overpriced, slow and ugly. If the GTO could be purchased as a race car, no back seat, no radio, no ac, no nothing for about $15,000, I would be sold.

I have to agree with Aces. I was really disappointed with the GTO. I don't know that it looks like shit, but it certainly doesn't deserve the GTO name. It looks like a BMW to me. If they can do right, big engine, classic styling and still be affordable than yeah, go ahead and do it. Otherwise let it rest. I would still prefer my 67 anyway.

2005 chevelle ss

Absolutely. I cant figure out what gm's is thinking. The chevelle ss in hotrod is awsome. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I would want an all alum.
bigblock, like the new ZL1. 345 hp is whimpy. How about 575hp and about 500ftlb of torque. This will blow all the competition away.

Re: would you agree with chevy to make a 2005 chevelle

GM needs to do something and this would defianatly be it, the GTO has been run-off by the mustang before it even hit the road and the trucks arent doing to well either. all of these 'new body designs' look like the biggest waste of effort piecies of shit ever and i would think that GM would see this when the re-make mustang cant stay in the dealerships. they need to do a newer version of the 60s and 70s body and put the same big-block engines back in them, im talkin 396s, 454s, 502s and hell maybe even a 572, anything to take a big piss on that mustang. this car would need to be all engine and in the same price range or lower than the mustang if GM wanted to be back on top of the game..which they are far from now.

Lightbulb Depends

GM Should make a Chevelle SS again...as long as they don't have their heads up their ass and screw up the styling...make it a big hairy chested V8...Six Speed...Sweet Dual Exaust...no frills...make it so average people can go buy it...and from the dealer's lot go blow the doors off anything short of a Corvette or a Viper...that would be awsome...GM would gain prestige back if they could do that...as long as they don't screw the pooch on the styling...But that is just my humble opinion...

New Chevelle

I have been the biggest Chevelle Supporter in this, I use to say if the Chevelle comes back I would be the first to buy one.

But when the new Malibu came out it was as big a disapointment as the Nova was.

The biggest problem is the car manufactues don't respect the true car guy anymore, all they do is slap the name of a real car on a p.o.s. and expect us to all fall over it. Now if they where to make a true muscle car like they bring to concept shows, it might be do able. But even then they still don't make it the way it should be when it goes to production. I have had '66 SS a '71 and every '69 Chevelle made '69 being my favorite being a one year model car. I still have my first 1969 Chevelle it was a plain car garaged it's whole life. most wanted '70's for the 454 but my 350 took it without much effort it wasn't that great really. Now I drew up a modern '69 Chevelle it had Corvette suspension and the motor and trans from the last SS Camaro but trimed updated body lines and pretty much the whole feel and look of the original . Then to look at the malibu flop out there and to here slap the name on that lame GTO body if the 350 hp motor lives up to the hype it maybe acceptable with the Corvette rear in it. If it comes back it needs to be a true car like the 2005 Mustang and the Thunderbird look like the originals so should the CHEVELLE!!!!

I dont want to go for a ride in one more lame a.. Chevy with the sales man telling me wooo this is a powerfull car while I am cramped and driving a lame car with a real name... My only satisfaction came from starting my 1969 elCamino and rattling the showroom windows as it roared and offered to show him what a real car was.

I think that they should bring them back, but they should be able to live up to any expectations the public will have. The should make the new cars appear somewhat like the old chevelles. Pontiac came out with the new GTO, GTO's were great cars. The new ones are nice too, but they aren't anywhere close to what the old ones were.

I don't think that they should start to make any "muscle cars" again. They are taking a cavalier putting some different headlights and tail lights on it, putting a 350? in it, slapping an SS sticker on it and saying its supposed to be equal to the 400+ horsepower pure steel beasts of the 60's and 70's. All we need is more kids running around jappin up cars and thinking they are the fastest things around. In my mind nothing can replace or equal muscle cars.
