Who's in the market??? Assuming it's a legit Camaro.

[Joshinator99]

I’m currently “Camaroless”. I sold my 6th gen 2ss rs. Was going to buy a new mid engine corvett when they hit the market, but waited too long. When they hit, an 80k car was going for 110k. Love the mid engine , but could I spend that much? Yes. Will I spend that much? No! So, yes, I’m very interested in the 7th gen. But, it will need to be better then my 6th gen. In a lot of ways, as that car was the best Camaro I owned. And I’ve owned a lot. Starting with the 1st gen a many in between.

Not sure if you’ve been watching, but Stingrays sell pretty cheap these days… out the door costs would be pretty similar to a loaded up 7th gen Camaro 2SS. Dealers have been giving away Stingrays for years now since the Z06 came out.

Yes. I’ve seen that. But I’m kinda Glad I didn’t pull the trigger on one because, at heart, I’m more of a Camaro guy. So now, I’m going to hold off until I see what GM puts out. I’m really hoping they do right by this car. But if not, then I’ll pull the trigger on the Corvette.

I’m right there with you. Might as well wait on C8, anyway. One, the aero seems to be permanently on constraint. Two, I love the direction they chose with LS6, but reliability wise, it might make sense to wait that out a while as well…

Best time to buy will be after the GSX hoopla/ hype dies down and the C9 stuff starts leaking. We should know all we need to know about the 7th gen by then .

I tried to get a Z06 built early… but right after all the market adjustments fell by the wayside. Frustrating experience to say the least. Lotta’ supply chain problems over there. May work out for the best in the end because I prefer the LS6 low end grunt to the high revving 5.5L.

There's so many factors here...Most of them already addressed... But yes, with the right conditions {design, comfort, performance, etc...} I'd be in for one...The gen 6 never gave me the cramped, shoehorned feeling some are experiencing..The new corvette I originally looked at had me feeling a little too tucked in there and the wifey wouldn't go for it saying outright she hated the interior experience in general {on the passenger side lol} but she was a Trans Am girl when we were younger so... I've had every generation Camaro and the second gen was very comfortable... With the t tops out it was one of the best all around cruising machine experiences, I could ride in for hours...I'm hoping they offer some type of removable/retractable roof glass as an option... I like being out in the sun without the convertible air blast...

Same here. I really like the transparent/ removable hardtop on the C8 coupe. That’s a big draw for me. T’s or something similar would be great. I like sunroofs as well, but the SR did ruin some of lines on Gen 6. I really liked how that line carried from the hood through the roof.

 

[Corky]

My Gen6 has the sunroof and you're right the lines were definitely lost with that roof...It's better than nothing but to me it still doesn't open it enough to "change" the feel of the surroundings like the T tops did...Trouble is with Chevy's new designs they depend way too much on the roofs added structural integrity... It needs to be designed with something in mind from the early stages it doesn't seem like that happened with the 6th gen...Let's hope somebody at GM is actually in step with who the projected buyers are...

It's almost like the NHTSA has a roll over test GM has to pass that keeps getting stricter and stricter...

Mike, it would definitely be hard to get rid of either of those cars, that panther would be the keeper for me though.

You're right and that's the direction I would have to go, but so much history with the Crush ZLE and it's my dedicated track car. Plus I don't worry about putting miles on it.

If they make a hard top vert, I'm in.

A hard top convertible is the kind of new Camaro that would give me serious pause and consideration

You worded that perfectly.

 

[Gen6andBeyond]

Cant wait! The LS6 with the A10 should be a blast!

 

[NitroRS24]

I am not sure why GM won't make it with T-tops, I loved my Iroc-Z back in the day with the T-tops, Sure they leaked and the car rattled a bit, But the 6th gen is the best Camaro chassis GM ever built , So if they did it back then, what's stopping them from doing it again with a much more rigid chassis.

And for sure, my next Camaro will be A10 with the LS6 , Unless they make a V6 with about 400 hp, Then to mee that's plenty.
