:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Awesome!

So awsome. The 4th pic is my favorite.

yeah,those or all over the place in BIG "D" (DALLAS TX)

You owe me a new keyboard.

This one is well.......icky now.

Wow, if the production car even remotely resembles that I may be forced to buy one. With a 6spd and LS7 that is :unibrow: I reallllllly hope they don't kill it in production, it's darn near perfect.

Ouch...... :bow:

Almost perfect, just add a R/S package.

That is bad A$$

What is the price point, engine -hp options? Anyone have an educated guess.

I love that car so much. the 21's and 22's look great!! :thumbsup:

Man I can't imagine somebody not liking that car!

Me either. I hope the deal goes thru.

around $19,000 starting (v6)

the v8 option is going to be at or LESS than the Mustang GT

the v8 is LS2, 400hp. LS7 is not likely but the idea has not been dismissed.

the camaro will have a lot of the technology from the C6 incorporated into it also. this is going to be a great car for the money.

you will most likey see production around fall of 2007 as an '08 model.

start saving you $$$$! :thumbsup:

They need to bring back the COPO and offer the ls7 :drool:

AMEN to that, Bill. I sincerely hope that GM finds a few ways to get a lot of option flexibility and combinations going, with the front fascia and maybe some other elements of the car.

In 1969, you could get RS w/chrome bumper, RS with Endura, Non-RS with chrome bumper, Non-RS with Endura...With the different combinations and the colors it was possible to have four really distinct looks. And then added onto that, silver or black grilles, depending on trim levels, exterior colors, etc! The potential combinations were practically endless.

OK SOAPBOX TIME: If the General is listening:

MAKE THE CAR AVAILABLE IN A DECENT RANGE OF COLORS, FOR GOD'S SAKE. If they bring Camaro to market with the standard GM color pallete of:

white/black/silver/champagne/red/dark green/dark blue

...that will be a very sad thing to see, and a huge missed marketing opportunity.

The MIS technology and materials management capability that we have today is light years ahead of what was available in the sixties, yet, somehow, in 1969 it was no problem for GM to offer ~18 exterior colors and what, 6 or 7 interior colors, for Camaro?

Today, we can go down the street and get TOASTERS in 12 colors, but we can't be flexible enough in manufacturing, to produce something as expensive as a friggin' CAR, in more than a half-dozen colors???

Cost reduction has been taken too far and has driven out choice, and that is just plain wrong, for a car like this!! Take this strategy with the family sedans and Saturns, maybe, but NOT with Camaro.

In addition, GM should seriously consider following VWs example with their use of limited, "one year only" colors. Brings tremendous brand recognition and individuality. Example: My nephew is not a car guy AT ALL. He has a new Beetle.

In the car with him one day, he sees another (bright yellow) Beetle go by, and says, "Oh, look, there's an '01.... Sunflower Yellow"

Now THAT is marketing power.

OK I'm done. -R

Yeah I agree an RS package would be fantastic :thumbsup: I'd be willing to bet there will be a hipo version out a year or two into production. Once the gleam of the C6Z wears off they will likely stuff the LS7 into the SS and then offer a supercharger on the Z.

I honestly think GM is too big to offer more than a couple interior colors. Black leather, and maybe a two tone dark grey/black on the RS.

I do like the idea of one year colors. Just so long as they make a very very dark metallic purple/sapphireish color :D

We'll see if they can follow through with the goods or fumble it. In which case it will be back to the hemi challanger :yes:



rwhite- A guy driving, and recognising a bug with the name "sunflower yellow" is something... don't know if i'd call it marketing, but it's something :willy:

Wow, thank you those are awesome!!
Love the night shots!
:wow: :thumbsup: :hail:

Color offerings, absolutely ARE a BIG part of marketing.

My point is that my nephew, a complete NON car guy, just by virtue of VWs creative marketing, now knows the specific color name, and the model year of the car, on sight alone. This is the kind of thing normally associated only with "CAR people", like us.

That kind of thing just doesn't happen, without creative marketing.

That car is so freaking HOT!!! I want one, I want one NOW!!! :yes:

I saw it at NAIAS and loved it, but I have to tell you, it looks even better on the road :thumbsup: . Thank you for the pics :D .

David

Thanks for sharing the photos and the good news about 2008. That car and those photos are INCREDIBLE!!!!! I would crash into a wall if I drove around a corner in downtown wherever and saw that photo shoot going on. I would not be able to pull my eyes back to the road.
Too cool!

The aftermarket companies will probably beat us to it unless it debuts with one as an option. Not likely.

That thing is so killer.

Yeah, I'm with all of you on that.... I WANT ONE TOO!!!!

So who here is gonna make the first supercharger or twin turbo custom 5th gen camaro..... :D :thumbsup:

Will it get the 6spd auto? Paddle shifters?

David

Thanks
 

Thanks for the pics. That will make your sticker peck out!

Sexy. :unibrow:

I like it, :thumbsup:

Most likey, yes.

You sure about end of '07?....we are not even getting Mules until beginning of next year....no way they would be production ready by the end of '07...

not 100% positive but thats what GM is shooting for. :thumbsup:

I am really starting to dig that car! :D

I'll take a Hugger Orange w/ Pearl White Hockey Stick stripes please. Love it. And make mine a convertible.

Very sweet, the 4th pics is awesome. Time to start taking money from my daughters college fund and turn it into a Camaro fund....just kidding, but I want one.

You will not see that car in '08.

what an awsome car! wow
i hope they build it just as it is everything about it is just tuff! :wow:
thanks for the pics :hail:

Something about that photoshoot putting the car in it's element that makes it far more attractive than the autoshow shots. I'm floored. Car actually looks really good in my opinion. I can't imagine those side mirrors making it into production being that small but who knows...overall I'm stoked to see this retro comeback of musclecars in my lifetime. It makes our cars seem more at home.
:cool:

Me, but I'll need a car so I can get started ASAP. It's only fair!

SEMA '08 or (more likely) '09 is gonna be awesome. It'll be like SEMA '04 and '05 was for the Mustang!

Kris

It'll be SEMA '09. :thumbsup:
