A lot of great ideas, but the problem is, GM knows most Camaro guys will also buy a Corvette if forced to . . .

Jack it up on smaller rims and tires, throw on some cheap GM parts and huge rearviews... I'm not sure that it would translate well to production. I could be wrong. Its not very aero either.

Other than that, it looks great.

No doubt Steve,I would buy one in a heartbeat The yellow or orange.The green one is great too but the other design makes my pants tight If that car was devoloped there would be a resurgence(sp?) of the older Camaro buyers and the 4th geners too... shoot die hard ford guys would dream secretly about it and run when they see it . There would be old dudes driven these suckas again without a doubt.
I did post those pics on pg.1&2 but I cant make my pics last more than 15 secs for some reason.
I WANT THAT DARN CAR,I cant believe they have not seen that it is a work of new gen art. Friggin honda drivin beancounters.

NOW THAT CAR IS BADASS.....I would be FIRST IN LINE at the dealer to order one!!!

...alas, like others....I fear GM will F it up royally and come out with something that inspires NO ONE....

I'll hope that GM does bring back the Camaro and do a decent job of it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. By doing a decent job I mean respectable performance at an affordable price. Look at their current performance offerings:

Corvette - over 40K
CTS-V - over 50K
Silverado SS - over 40K and a Lightning will have it for lunch
SSR - over 40K for an S-10 with a V8 and a body kit and a Honda Accord V6 will have it for lunch
GTO - impressive performance at a reasonable price, hard to find 6-speeds and unbelievable dealer mark-up

What gets me is that GM has the parts bin to build some affordable performance cars and they don't. The GTO does give me hope and maybe more will follow off the Holden platform. But why not offer a "stripper" Corvette? Why not put the 8.1 in a 1/2 ton Silverado 2wd reminiscent of the 454SS? Why not put a V8 in the Colorado with a performance suspension and AWD like the Syclone? I'm just afraid if GM brings it back it will be a halo specialty vehicle, limited volume and a high price.

They did just build the SSR, so it appears that they are very capable of inspiring no one??? I'd have traded that overpriced POS for a new Camaro any day....

Unfortunately, I gotta agree. GM seems to have no real desire to make themselves stand out. They're perfectly happy to try to play catch-up and keep-up with what everyone else is doing, instead of starting something themselves. I saw my first GTO on the road today - it was bright yellow . . . and blended into the background perfectly. OK, some may like the "sleeper" look, but who wants and entire corporate line-up of sleepers? Personally, I rather like having an obvious car that turns heads.

that car is a pipe dream.. if they offered it for around 20k then i would buy one


i want realism

Camaros are basic and that is what i want

I think there's hope in that GM has brought out the GTO and will soon offer the Solstice roadster as well. The problem is, for guys like us that want a bare-bones performance car, the GTO is too heavy and too expensive and the Solstice doesn't have enough power.

I couldn't agree more with that statment. GM has totally left the door open for the afordable performance car. I see a good number of WRX's on the road and considering the performance they are putting out for under $30k it makes me think why doesn't GM compete with the WRX. The Solstice looks like a large Miata, if they can keep the weight down it might be a hit. I would look at one if the 170 hp came with no more then 2500-2600 lbs and I could get some negitive camber on it.

I just read somewhere that GM has announced they will offer the supercharged version as well. This was the engine in the show car that made 240HP, of course I don't know if it'll actually make 240HP in a production form, but even if it makes 220HP it'll put the Solstice on my short list of cars to consider. Of course, they'll still have to keep the price reasonable or I'll be back to looking at the Lotus Elise.

I saw an Elise at PIR this weekend, what a great looking little car. If I was in the market, it would be hard for me to turn one down.
