AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 So what do you think of GM's concept Camaro? Its nice to see them bring it back and maybe Ford's new Mustang had something to do about it as well as Chrysler Charger and the new concept Challenger. So maybe we are going to see Muscle Cars make a comeback. The Camaro will have 400HP and get 30 MPG due to the new system of shutting off cylinders during highway driving to improve fuel ecomony. Would be nice to see these Camaro's back on the streets but its still concept. If this is to be a hit, it has to be priced right, 35 to 40 thousand is not going to work, that price range will kill this project. What are your thoughts on it? Is Muscle back?

texastrophies Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro I like it, has a lot a similarities to a '69 model. This is the first I have heard of it, are they projecting when or if it will come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] It's still a concept, they are waiting on the public's reaction on whether to make it a go but rumor was if it was a go, 2009. As with any concept, the production one could be smooth out some and the sharpness of the lines worked on some. I think that 2009 is too far away but getting the production up to speed is what takes time. My buddy says he seen (2) of them at their technical center, an orange one and a yellow one which were popular colors back then with their classic stripes from the front to the back, so they have more than this one and they may be making them to show them off and get the public's reaction. Remember this company thought the Pontiac Aztek was worth producing! LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro Its a decent looking car, I just think they need to round some of the edges off instead of that box type look. Also, hats off to the person that decided to put the cowl indution hood on it. That gives it the muscle car look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro I don't mind this new concept, but theres no doubt the production model will have changes to some things, most likely the mirrors and tires/wheels. I do think that other colors and stripe packages might do something for me besides the silver. Over a year ago I saved these images of concepts... guess they were a little off in their estimated drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro buckslayer, I thought they would have stuck with designs like your showing as well. They look really cool, sometimes car companies get too sharp with the lines and the car looses appeal. Then again its a concept and they could smooth it out like the above pictures. That's a sweet car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro i like the back end of it, if they smooth out some of the radical lines on the front end it will be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDMAworks4me Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro I think it is a really nice looking car, one of my friends said if it came out he would have one on order. Personaly I think if they come out with one they will probably want to much money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illinoisbowhunter Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro pretty nice, but to me it doesnt look anything close to the older camaros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro Yeah they are pretty neat looking! I wouldn't be suprised to see them put the new LS7 engine in it, which comes out in the '06 Corvettes, that sucker puts out 505hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro They should round the front end a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro I agree Chrud, they kinda have a front end like the Chryslers... sort of a cross between a Charger and a Crossfire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: GM\'s concept Camaro What's with all these ugly cars? That camaro looks like it wants to be a dodge magnum just like all those other dodge magnum wannabes. I was so disapointed when I saw dodges new charger. I thought it would be like the classic charger, instead, they made it a family sedan that looks exactly like the dodge magnum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I would slope the front end down a bit and just round the edges. It does look a lot like the new Chargers. The rear end looks fine. Except I'd have the exhaust on the outsides, not the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
