Dew not want to read the last 30 or so posts.

Saw a new camaro today again, this time in black. It rides a little high and could be 1" or 1.25" lower but hell, its a OEM car. That is my ONLY complaint, they look good and seem to perform well. The acceleration is proper and from what I've read the braking is more than proper (how does stopping faster than an evo IX sound!!!!). GM built the right car at the wrong time though. People aren't in a spendy mood at the moment and this will ruin the sales of what seems like an excellent performance and style car for the dollar.

Test drove the V6 a few weeks back. Surprised on how well it handled for a 3700 lb car.

LS1's never trapped that high stock, 104-105 was accurate.

I saw the new Camaros today at a car show. Their material quality is 100 times better than my car. I mean, LS1s had horrible fit and finish. You can remove panels and dash board pieces with your fingers!

Having said that, I have a hard time paying 40+k for these cars.

I went 108 bone stock, my friend Clay went 108 stock, my Dads went 107 stock, My friend paul went 110 with a LID on his Ram Air Formula, and my friend james went 110 with his Bone stock Ta with a factory Blackwing intake. They hit 107-108 regularly (I have seen Dog slow automatics and shitty drivers though). I am not that impressed with the new car, 100hp should equate to 111-114 traps, so far I am not seeing it. Its pig heavy, and after driving my boss's fat pig SRT8 challenger I am happy I put my 40K into my old car, and am saving for a Z28. It needs that blower, These cars a massive.

Whoa, the 135i CONVERTIBLE costs more than the Camaro SS COUPE?!

*shock*

did you think no one would notice?


You're right Pat. Cost of ownership MUST be cheaper for the coupe. Hmmm.... let's see...





*drumroll*





For "only" $10,000 more.

I thought a loaded 2SS was in the 36k neighborhood?
