  1. Vette is mid engine. How about a 350 hp Fiero style Camaro, Just for a generation of course.

    As are the Pontiac G8 GXPs. G8 GTs not so much. All are, in good condition with low miles, commanding close to original sticker.
  2. Vette is mid engine. How about a 350 hp Fiero style Camaro, Just for a generation of course.

    And don’t forget the Holden Commodore was also sold in the US as the Pontiac G8 GT and GXP prior to the Chevy SS.
  3. Vette is mid engine. How about a 350 hp Fiero style Camaro, Just for a generation of course.

    You likely won see such a thing. First, we’ve been told it’s off Alpha2 so mid engine isn’t in the current plan or future.
  4. Here is how I think we could see a coupe

    What if it’s 4 doors but like the Mazda RX8?
  5. Hopefully Chevy Understands the New Camaro Design is More Important than a 0.5 Second Faster 1/4 Mile

    The interesting thing is what configuration the car comes in. IF (and I’d be shocked to see it) this Camaro is a direct competitor with the Mustang then it will have to be the fastest just like it was before. It was the faster car n most cases and it didn’t sell. So coming our slower womt...
  6. Where GM may have a problem

    You are correct. The Gen6 ZL1 could exist because it was a coupe and not a direct competitor to the V Blackwing. But IF the Camaro is not a coupe then there might be an issue of maintaining differentiation across the models. Let’s hope for a coupe. But as I suggested in my other thread, they...
  7. Where GM may have a problem

    I talked to Tadge Juechter once about this. His comment was why would he want an engine that cost way more and actually got worse fuel economy that made the same HP In his Corvette. He wasn’t wrong but a lot of people love the idea.
  8. Where GM may have a problem

    I always use the LWB Epsilon for this example. For those that don’t know there was a Chevy, a Buick and a Cadillac. impala, LaCrosse (I had one) and the XTS. The architecture was the same with 3 very uniquely styled cars. But the chassis and powertrain is where it got silly. For the...
  9. Here is how I think we could see a coupe

    The only things we know is it’s not coming back in the way we expect and whatever it is has to be “more practical” per Mark Reuss. The hope for a coupe is simply the previous history on Cadillacs off of Alpha. GM did coupes off of both the ATS and CTS. Neither sold particularly well but...
  10. More 7th gen Camaro news: GM Hinted At Muscle Car Rebirth During Dealer Meeting

    Ok, to be clear there are several ways to look at this. First camp. Camaro IS a coupe and screw GM REGARDLESS of how awesome the car is I won’t buy one because coupe. Second camp. SS sedan was nice. back then it would have been nicer with more than 6 speeds in the automatic and some...
  11. 2028 Camaro (7th generation) approved! Production begins late-2027

    GM has done about all they usually, more so in fact. The rest, for the next year or more, will be our speculation. What will be more interesting is will there be the typical bunch of camouflaged prototypes at the usual point in time. IVERs without head and tail lamps were usually about 80...
  12. Video: 7th gen Camaro Clay Models Done. Remains a 2-Door Coupe

    I’ve heard it was late last year. But I’m also guessing it’s somewhat an ongoing process. And until it’s time to kick off major tools which can have a 52 week lead time (highly styled or complex panels like a door inner panel) surface styling can be flexible up to a mm or so fairly late. But...
  13. Spit Balling Here... mid-engined 7th gen Camaro?

    They pretty much said Alpha 2 so won’t be mid engine. And as we’ve been told it has to be more practical, a mid engine is in the wrong direction. And the very last thing GM needs is a cheaper Corvette. 3 strikes right ther.
  14. This is what I think the 2028 Camaro sedan will look like

    Body rigidity is the main culprit as that leads to the creaks. Weight can be fixed with material choices but that is also generally plus $. lots of good hatches today. I would predict a hatch just on the “more practical” comments from Reuss. I’m not sure it fixes the issues but hoping...
  15. More 7th gen Camaro news: GM Hinted At Muscle Car Rebirth During Dealer Meeting

    Ummm the Camaro is already dead…..for the second time. Brining it back in some other variant can’t hurt any more than already being dead.
  16. Introductions & Welcome Thread đź‘‹

    And so it begins. Number 3 because that was the VIN of the CTF Gen5 Camaro I had the good fortune to be assigned way back When I worked for GM. Camaro5, 6 and now hopefully 7G is just where I’ve gone to discuss great cars. interesting that it’s 7G. I remember years ago looking up Camaro7.com...
