2009 Chevrolet Camaro

[Dwayne]

I keep finding myself doing more and more research on the 2009 Camaro. Growing up in the 80's, the IROC-Z was the coolest car to have when I was in high school. although I never did get that IROC, I have had a handful of Trans Ams. I've owned and 82, 88 and a 98 Trans Am and no other car that I've owned has been as much fine to drive than my GM muscle cars.

I've owned an Acura Integra and although the that was a very reliable care that was fun to drive and the engine was smooth as silk, I miss the rumble of a V8. My Dodge Dakota had a Magnum V8 with good power but to me it just wasn't as fun to drive.

Long story short, I'm counting down the months, weeks and days until I can drive off in my new Camaro. It might be a good idea to wait until the 2010 model year so they can work out any bugs but I'm not going to wait, I'm ready now! Im the MAN

Is anyone looking forward to the launch of the new Camaro? Let's do a poll and vote!

I will test drive it but I also want to test drive the Dodge Challenger when it arrives.

Where is the "No interest, because Camaros suck and Mustangs will always out sell them" option?

Glad to see it back, but I'm not a fan of the retro looks.. Can't stand the new Mustangs (and i'm a current mustang owner x 2 ).. But I do like the looks of the GM offering more so than the Ford..

I also owned a '99 Trans am for a while.. Not a truly brand loyal guy when it comes to cars.. Currently own 2 Ford's, 1 Toyota, 1 Nissan, and a Mitsubishi (the worst out of all them by far)

No really competition is good for any manufacture so having the camaro back should get Ford to up the performance platform on the mustang. Or at least bring the SVT team back to make more big power small blocks.

I'll take the Challenger over the Stang or Camaro. Give me the Challenger murdered out :righton:

I'm with you on that one, the Challenger gets my attention more than the Camaro. Have they even decided if they're building the damn thing yet.

The Camaro is cool, I have a friend that pretty much guaranteed me that he's getting one. I'll hold judgement until it comes out since most cars change quite a bit from concept to production. Unfortunately the really cool retro interior will definitely change and be replaced the the typical cheap GM interior. Anyone know what the production wheels will look like?

Its supposed to be out in the Spring, Im going to take a drive when it does. I really like the way it looks, I have to see it in person.

a couple of cars lately have made me fight my stand of "no americans"
GTO
Z06
Challenger
Viper

Im still fighting, but I just might slip......

I have seriously been considering one also. I want a true daily driver, and must have V8, rear wheel drive, and preferably domestic. I also like the new Pontiac G8 (Clubsport) on paper. I can tell you with family all inside GM including one very high exec you will like whats coming on the Camaro. The V8 at around 400hp is not the top motor, and there will be an SS version almost as potent as Z06 within 18 months of launch.

The mustang will always sell better as it is a more feminine design. They sell loads of them little V6's and thus will have the market if only sales are included. The Charger is fat, over 4000 pounds, and is likely to cost more based upon build materials and smaller unit. Chrysler is in hot water too, as they sell so many V8's between cars and trucks already, it will likely have a big gas guzzler penalty attached.

Ever since I saw it in Transformers, I fell in love with it, seeing it in action

I'd like see it and test drive one. I had a '77 and a '79 Z28. I don't know that I could drive a car anymore. I like sitting high in a truck.

When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.

:buffing:

 

[SPiN]

saw the camaro in person at the car show and i was just like "blah". Not my cup to tea. I'll stick with lexus and the new IS-F coming out.

 

[Gary Sword]

I had a Trans Am once but never a Camaro. I never care much for the Trans Am so I sold it and got a Corvette. It's nice to see it come back but I would not consider getting one.

 

[Truls]

We will probably never see that one here, our gov dont like AM muscle cars....were looking at over $200.000 usd for this one, so enjoy it, you who can..

Car looks cool by the way Dwayne..

 

[dengood1]

I think they are both pretty sharp and I LOVE the retro look! Gotta admit though, the Camaro looks meaner....
