Agreed, it reminds me a lot of the old 67 and 68 models which were by far my favorite muscle cars of all time. The rear ends were so wide and beautiful! Especially when people put some really wide tires on and suped it up nicely.

How much is the SS model going for? What's the most powerful model they have?

right now it's the ss2 with 430hp and that will cost you about 37k after the markup goes back to msrp. Chevy is going to have a limited run of the ss with a twin turbo kit that will run $115k and will have 706hp stock. its going to be the zr1 killer and have the new ls9 in it!!!

actually thats going to be released by Hennessy, a tuner shop out of Texas, Chevy wont have anything to do with it. But there were rumors Chevy might drop the LZ9 in the camaro in a year or two and bring back the Z28 tag.

Actually the 1SS MSRP is 31K and the 2SS is 34K..but right now the markups are 5K-9K....but wait a bit and it'll most likely fall back to MSRP.

Both of the SS models, essentially the 1 SS is cloth and the 2 SS is leather, is the LS3 6.2 liter model in both. something like 418 auto and 426 manual hp, same engine as the basic Vette. The automatic, though 10 ft/lbs lower, seems to run both the 1320 and the 0-60 a bit faster than the manual. Chevrolet said they played with the shift points in the aggressive mode, the auto also can run on only 4 cylinders when freeway cruising.

Most important of all though, is that it has INDEPENDENT suspension in the rear...that is totally new for this car, it's comfortable to drive

I saw a few leaving Laguna Seca a few weeks back. they are alright IMO, but I never did like the Camaro. Id drive one before the mustang though.

I think out of the Camarownd, Mustang, and Challenger, the Challenger looks the best.

I actually read the thread on the car and the driver said he went 176, i'm guessing in a school zone, the night before on a brand new car so I don't feel so bad for him now. But i DOUBT he went 176.

Uh well okay, if your going to compare a $150K supercar versus a Camaro, than yeah I guess I like a Lamborghini Gallardo more than my Corvette.

maybe he meant Ford Mustang GT? That seems to make more sense to compare to the Camaro....?

I really like the current pony cars -- the Camaro in black or yellow, the Challenger in black or orange, and the mustang (errr...just the GT500 ) in blue with white stripes.

......the V6 Camaro has 300HP and better gas mileage than my STi
