   New Camaro photos leaked from GM
ClickyI think it's ok.. i'm disappointed that they went retro with it.  Supposedly they are working on a firebird too.  Personally, i've always prefered the bird.   
  I agree that it's 'ok', you can see the resemblance to that SS concept thing (can't remember off the top of my head if that's what it was called or not), which was pretty ugly.  I too have always prefered firebirds, especially the last generation where they looked WAY cooler, so maybe that will be the case again.The guys on that forum are saying it has a 400HP "base" motor, which I doubt because while it would sound cool in theory, it would make the base price over 30K, and they probably wouldn't sell very well (after the first year).  So do you know where they got that info?   ;Quote:Original post by RixterI agree that it's 'ok', you can see the resemblance to that SS concept thing (can't remember off the top of my head if that's what it was called or not), which was pretty ugly.

So do you know where they got that info?Yes, it's obvious.  The engine that they would put in the higher end(V8) model is called the "LS2" which is in the corvette.  That is the same thing they did for every version since like 1993.  They had the V6, then the V8 had a Vette engine.  For the earlier ones, this was an "LT1", and for the later it was the "LS1," which were in the same model year vettes.The last production camaro V8 had 325 HP off the production line.  That was in 2002, so it would not be a surprise to have a 400HP LS2 in the new Camaro.   ;  Eh, I think it looks good. I've also always preferred the Firebird (particularly the Firehawk) but this looks distinctive. I'd get one if I had the money.   ;Quote:Original post by ktuluorionQuote:Original post by RixterI agree that it's 'ok', you can see the resemblance to that SS concept thing (can't remember off the top of my head if that's what it was called or not), which was pretty ugly.

My own 99 Trans Am dyno'd 297rwhp with just a lid and catback (the worst performing catback available for the f-body, at that).  The vette does have a couple hundred lb weight advantage though.
