what is the typical preorder timetable? Ive never ordered a new car before, let alone one that hasnt come out yet. I expect to see the production version at the Indy gatehring in Sept and then sometime after that place my order.

 

No, that opening is for the red Knight Rider light.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the new Camaro sometime next year in Finland. Too bad it will be extremely expensive, due to the car taxes imposed on vehicles with V8 engines by the government.

Scott, if you need a big Camaro enthusiast to test the pre-production car in the frozen north, I'm your man.!

 

It will be priced competively. GT500's are extremely expensive. Z06's are extremely expensive. This will be within reach of the general public. If it wasn't, the car would fail.

 

Sadly Kitt is now a mmm mmmuuuu mustang

 

I think the guy was talking about the taxes on V8's in Finland not the US.

 

GT500's are extremely expensive for what little you get. Z06's are a bargain.

 

I found these new pics of a black 5th gen in Detroit testing. It looks much better than the white shot that has been posted everywhere.

that shot isn't really doing it for me the back half looks fat from that angle...

 

You must think the Vettes have a fat back half.

 

That's exactly what I'm referring to. Currently a 300C Hemi goes for 70,000 euro's,/ $110,000 USD. Using that as a reference point,
a Z28 will run at least that amount here.
A new Corvette will set you back 110,000 euro's, $150,000 here
in Finland. Only the wealthy can afford these type of cars.

 

One big concern I have out the new car is weight! I haven't come across numbers yet, so can you give an estimate what the scales will read for a V8 6spd hardtop version?

 

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Scott can't comment on that. It'll be as light as they can make it while still meeting all of the other criteria it needs to meet (crash safety standards, for example).

I'm optimistic that the car will tip the scales to around 3700lbs. There are many here who are less optimistic than I am, but I'm 99% sure that it will come in lighter than the G8, which weighs 3946lbs.

 

Wait, KITT is a mustang. Damn....Which vehicle will the tow-truck be????? Prob. a transforming chevy. Never mind this post.

 

What happen to the good ol' days of the Camaro weighing in at 3250 lbs???

Hmm...CF will be way too expensive! It would look sick though

I guess we could always "rice" them out and pull the seats and panels off....NOT!
