test drive? sure. buy one? probably not.

It all depends if I like the look of it or not. BTW all this talk of a 400hp camaro and forcing ford to put in a bigger power plant atleast as an option on the GT is great. However with gas prices doing what they have been the last few years congress is enacting new rules for gas milage which I think will make it difficult to coninue producing the bigger engines. IMO the democratic congress will do everything possible to show they are trying to fix the fuel supply/cost issue's we have seenandsome ofthe options they havewould be to make our lower gas mialge muscle cars(including the not quite yetcamaro and challenger) obsolete by making insane gas milage requirements. I dont like it at all but I think thats the direction things are headed.

There's a simple answer to the gas milage problem. "T-56" Hell the corvette has the setup that will be in the camaro. 6.0 and T-56. I think that alot of the mpg ratings have a lot to do with the gearing. It's won't change city/stop and go mpg, but it can make a great difference in what a auto will burn vs. what a manual will.

dam thats low!

They did that just to do it, not to improve handling or nothin as I thought, mechanic's nightmare, if you wanted to know.


The 400 hp will be the GTO type 400HP feeling, smooth, not outright performance, and everything will be up top.

any GOOD things anyone???? something you like about the car? I like the interior .


The exterior looks nothing like a camaro though, more like a duplicate of a Dodge Charger.

Honestly, I'd be more tempted by the Challenger, if they ever get around to makin it But since I just signed my life away for his-n-hers 2007 GTs I don't think I'll be buying anything else for a while. If the Camaro is faster, I'll just mod my GT until it's not, LOL...

You're right. By the time the Camaro is ready, the country won't be. It really sucks that GM and Chrysler dumped most of their rear wheel drive architecture, causing them both long delays in getting something on the road to match Ford. The "muscle car" resurgence has been going on big time since 04, yet the first real new answer to Mustang has yet to hit the streets. The GTO was an attempt to use a RWD car from Australia, but it was ugly and therefore failed. Someone needs to dig Harley Earl up and put him back in charge at GM. The bean counters running the auto companiesstill don't get it. Style and performance will always sell. When the foreign companies invaded and sold gazillions of little ugly econoboxes, the US companies seemed to give up on styling and performance. It is so bad today that the two best looking cars on the road are the Corvette andMustang, which are bothheavily rooted in the stylings of mid-60's cars. And guess what the new Challenger and Camaro stylings are based on? They can still make the new "muscle car" era work. They just have to build a lot of cars that get great mileage to offset the few that don't.

I would buy a Corvette if I was going to buy a GM product.

The Z06 is hot:

1. No I won't be test driving anything because I just dropped off payment 1 of 60 for my Mustang to the bank today...

2. When you say the GTO was a joke you mean the price and styling, right...cause performance-wise the 6.0 was a bada$$...

3. A message to anyone who goes to price a new Camaro (or Challenger for that matter) and runs into a "market value" side sticker slapped on by the dealer: tell them to shove it straight up their a$$ and you don't have to be rich to drive a Camaro you greedy sons of b*tches...

I liked the c5's better myself. I do not like the lights on that new corvette.
