Would you like to see the Camaro return?
 

Well would you?

Not really. I thought it looked way too Japanese in it's 4th generation, and was very unattractive. I am looking forward to next years return of the GTO, though!

Take care,

No
 

I never really liked Slomaros, except for 67-69's. I didn't really like the design of them too well, although their engines had some potential. It'd be nice to have something to kick around again, but I doubt we'll see them gone for many, many years. I hope if it does come back, they disgrace it by making it a sedan, lol. Later, Keith

na the camaro is gone and like chris said it was funny looking. but damn i didn't know the GTO was coming back, that should be something neat to see.

F-bodies suck! http://www.westsidemustangs.com/foru...miles/moon.gif










:D

Well guys we're gonna need competetion in the market! That produces better and faster cars so companys dont slack off and do dumb designs. Plus I mean currently Dodge doesnt have a hot contender (Viper too $$$) and now Camaro is out of the game for a bit. We also need new domestic motors to help battle the rice waves :D ;).

i'm with layan, man even if it was a chebby, it was one hell of a machine, the z an SS were pretty nice.. gm made it alot nicer than those 80's irocs an 305's... only to kill it when they fine tuned everything it in 2001.:confused: we domestic guys (chevy, ford, dodge) guys gotta hold our own against them tojo's an krauts :D

we need the mid priced competition v8 pony cars, DODGE took it up the ***, an now chevy put their only affordable pony car to the glue factory, so the only thing left is the uber-swank zo6, or the jezzeus-frickin christmas-how-much-a-month-is-this-car-a-month? VIPER for RWd performance.

not exactly teeming with buyers for affordable v8 domestic performance..

if we're the top for a long time, the designers will slack off, quit improving on it, an we'll fall behind in innovation an design. so if a return happens, we'll be playing catch up..


plus..I HATE IMPORT wanna b's an theres enough of them around to justify the hate :mad:.. big guys drivin lil comuter cars fartin by while blindin eveybody with 800,000 watts of piaa lighting an wings i can get satelite stations from ...eww

Take care,

my brother has an 02 SS...he has more problems with that car than we get with our 90 GT with 200,000miles on it....theyre rather flawed in many aspects from engine to rear....hes already had chevy replace his entire engine because of a piston...and he still gets knocking sounds....so they arent too perfect....his is definetly a f***ing sweet car though....

I actually like the LS-1 camaro's..........I will be happy to see them return just like I was when Nissan released the 350Z.

I pretty much like almost any sports car I am not just a brand loyal Ford guy.

Later,

I personally liked the F-bodies...cheap to build up, cheap to get parts....cheap in general.

They are also damn fast. I hate to see any domestic RWD V8 sports car go. The only kind of "sports" car i'd ever own will be RWD so seeing all of these garbage FWD cars come out sucks big time.

I'm not a big fan of japanese cars in general and although i like quite a few European cars, most RWD sports cars are crazy expensive. I can honestly say that i may someday own a Camaro/Firebird (....yes i like to punish myself :D), so i'm sorry to see the F-body go. Plus with the F-body gone, what will mustangs look forward to being rivals with?

No.
They're ugly.
Firebird all the way :D

sandman, you would have loved it, saw a 69 bird for sale, with oem hubcap's - perfect shape dark green. ;) :D :D :D :cool:

I must agree with most people, I was never a fan of the Camaro's other then the 67-69. I didn't mind the Iroc-Z but still wasn't my choice. I wouldn't mind them bringing back the Firebird though, even though it was a GM I still liked it. :D :D I'm lookin' forward to the GTO and the Grand Prix is going to be a V8 with rumours of it being RWD. Hmm... what V8 engine would they throw in there? LS1? :eek: Well I'm looking forward to see what GM has in store for us Ford guys.

I think the Camero gave the Mustang some good competition. I do think that the latest Camero's looked like a cross between a Cavalier and an Intrepid. I would like to see some classic detail features come back in a new F-body. That all being said, if Ford continues to make badass Mustang's who need's the Camero?

trans ams all the way IMO...hehe....god i love the WS6...how about a formula WS6? *drooools*....hehe...ever heard of the blackbird? ive only ever seen one....damn it was sweet...lol

I like TransAms, too. I didn't care much for the last generation Camaro, though. It's styling was just sort of "blah" and almost non-descript. I don't know squat about their performance, though. Never paid attention and never owned one. I would like to see them come back with some styling cues from the earlier ones. I also think that our tradition of American pony cars is being systematically eroded, and the Camaro is one example. I just hate to see tradition fade away.

I say bring it back.

The WS6's were sooooo sweeet. I never heard of a blackbird. I liked the Firehawk. That was a pretty limited production car and I seen a handful running around my town. I liked the 35th Anniversery Trans-Am, my favorite combo was the white with the blue rims.

This is a picture of one I took at a track I went to in the summer, it was just parked in the parking lot. Mostly because it was a Ford & Mustang day, but it still was worthy of a picture. :D

§am.

My main problem with the Camaro was the way it looked. Man that thing was UGLY in it's last years. Looked too much like the early 70's Camaros, and man those things hurt my eyes when I looked at um. Reminded me of a fish with it's mouth open.

Plus the F-bodys didn't have that much room on the inside. I looked at buying a 97 Firebird, and I kept hitting my head on the roof while I was sitting in it. And I'd hate to think I had to sit in those back seats very long. No room at all back there. :confused:

Nah, I could care less about the Camaro coming back. I wouldn't mind seeing something from GM to match the Mustang. I wouldn't mind it 'cause the Mustang needs some more domestic competiton I think.

Daniel.

I woudn't mind seeing them around some more. For some reason though, I just don't understand Camaro guys. Maybe its because I'm died in the wool Ford, but there is just something off about them.

The best afternoon I ever spent with a car salesman was at the Chevy dealer in Santa Barbara. Walked onto the lot because I saw a 97 Cobra that I felt like driving. Ended up driving an LTI SS, LSI z28, and the Cobra. For some reason he thought I was going to buy the z, but I had no job, no cash etc.

Long story short, the GM's may have been faster, but the Cobra felt better. Riding around in it I felt like looking for a race, with the salesman riding shotgun. Its inexplainable, but I get that same feeling everytime I fire up a Mustang.

I agree.. Firebirds and Trans-Ams are sweet. Camaros just don't look as good.

the bird's looked good, the camaro looked like a dying catfish, bwahahaha.:p :D :D :D :D :rolleyes:

as opposed to the incredibly different-looking alive catfish?

Certainly! The living ones are pretty quick!

i like camaro's............i had an 80 camaro........i wish i coulda kept it and hopped it up.....

not so keen on the 4th gens, i hate the styling, and the things are rolling blindspots........i had no feel for the edges of the car, no confidence in tight manuevering.........i'd still prolly buy an lt1 just for the straight line........might sell the monte for one next summer, or something

i don't really care if they come back, i'd rather have a vette or a cobra...........or if i'm spending under 30, some sort of import

Actually, I would like to see them bring the Camaro back. Think about it. If they do away with it, it will leave one V-8 powered pony car out there and the only sales competition will be made up of Uncle Ben's fried rice. Sure, they'll still be selling Vettes and Vipers but those are way out of most folks' range. Pretty soon Ford may see a market that is leaning more toward Focus type performance than something as powerful as a big wasteful Mustang. I don't think for a minute that Ford was developing Mustangs all these years to compete with the Honda Civic sales. To me, the death of the rear wheel drive F-body may signal the evolution of the front wheel drive, DOHC four banger Mustang. . .with a big fart pipe and suzuki stickers al over it. I wonder if Ford's version will be a say VTEKKK on the fender.

Of course they should bring them back. I have a feeling they will do the same thing that they did with the Vette. Kill it off for a couple of years, then bring it back totally re-designed. I just hope that when they do, they do away with the cheap a** interior. After a year or so, they sound like they are going to fall apart. A friend of mine has a 01 SS and the interior rattles like you would not believe. I also hope they fix the front end. I drove one once, and you can't see the end of the car. As far as power goes, they definately have it. The friend with the SS, changed the plugs, o2 sensors, gutted the cats, and tuned the computer and is running consistent 12.4's in the 1/4. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Caymon

In what year(s) did this happen???

no 83 model vette

That's one year. When were the "couple of years"?

i'm not the one that said it.

i didnt see him direct that to you.....you jump too quick

jump?

LOL............i think i was yawning when i typed that. i think that PKRWUD can handle it without me sugar-coating.

Excuse me?

Re: No
 

All this from a guy who posted timeslips of his car running 16's in the 1/4?:p ;) you're funny man!:D

I would definitely like to see the Camaro come back... I'm sick of looking at import "performance" cars with buzz bombs prowling the streets. We need more domestic "muscle" cars, badly.

The GTO sounds like it's going to be a pretty sweet ride... the LS1 is a good motor that offers alot of HP potential. Plus, I love the fact that it's a push rod motor. GM did good with the motor, but fell on thier *** with the late model Camaro styling. The SS Camaro was a nice improvement, but not good enough, IMHO.

The rumor is that the re-released Camaro will have styling reminiscent of the 67-69 bodies... which I just happen to really like. :D If they manage to pull that off, then I just might venture to the dark side, lol. ;)

67-69 styling with LS1 power.... that would really be something worth looking into. We'll see. I'm not liking the direction Ford is moving with the Mustang, but I'll hold off on trashing them until the final product arrives.

I'll always love the Fox body Mustang, regardless of what the future holds in store for domestic performance.

On a side note... the Corvette died after 1967, IMHO. The 63-67 'Vette is one of my all time favorite American muscle cars as well.

Lets see your first time slip
 

Did you not read what I said? I like the engine's (the engines have potential) but not the car, otherwise I'd own one and not a stang. Should I have lied about my timeslips? You know, I do own more than one mustang, hence the name "Kamaro Killer"! BTW, are you just ***-hurt that they stopped making your car cause nobody wanted to buy them anymore, or did you just feel like talking **** to me for no reason?

Re: Lets see your first time slip
 

Just felt like talking S#!t to you! :D relax man, why are you so upset? I have what I have because I like it, the same reason you have what you have, if I wanted a Mustang, I would have one!;) I meant no harm, relax!:cool:

BTW, here is my first timeslip with my car, I have only ever made 5 passes with it, 2 one trip and 3 on another, the temp was in the mid 60's. I have however been drag racing for over 16 years.

Sorry dude
 

I've gotten a hard time from EVERYBODY about my slips. I wasn't implying that a Camaro is slow by any means, but it doesn't mean I have to like it, so I voiced my opinion. I was just kidding about them making it a sedan. I thought your post was just rubbing it in more, I am sorry if that was not your intention. Take care, Keith

Re: Sorry dude
 

No big deal man, I was just playin'! I know what it's like to not run what you should with a set up, I have been there with other cars and it can take a toll on ya'! I really do understand, I'm sure you'll get it figure out.

Jay:cool:

Tsk, tsk, tsk. 1969 427 3x2 Corvette was the baddest-*** apple of the bunch, IMO.

:)

Take care,

I'd like to see the Camaro make a return, but just for competition. I might not like Camaro's a whole lot but there is just something about pulling up next to a Camaro and running him/her. It's the age old battle...Camaro vs. Mustang. Plus they are alot more fun to race than some high school kid in his Civic ex.

I like any american made muscle car:D

They are bringing back the camaro; they just arent calling it that. It will be called the SS and have 425hp. The GTO will have 340hp but will be butt-ugly.

so in other words this new "SS" (camaro) will tool even the '03 cobras?

Only stock for stock and the SS looks heavier than the Cobra. And dont forget the 06 Cobra will probably be lighter, better handling and more powerful than the SS. And if you put a KB on your 03 you can go hunting Vipers.

yeah i meant "stock" for "stock." of course any car can be modded to be faster than any other car.

Chevrolet SS

THAT'S GONNA BE THE NEXT CAMARO?!?!?!?!?!?:eek:

I highly doubt it myself. It's got four doors for crying out loud. Not to mention it looks..............well................. far from good. I just don't see it happening.

Besides everything I've heard about this car says it's purely a concept, and not being considered for production.

i wont buy one, thats for sure. way too futuristic, reminds me of the '05 mustang. i dont see 4 doors on it btw, at least, theres only one door handle per side, maybe its the three door dealie.
