Re: Camaro Concept will be on a stretched Kappa chassis

Forget the production chassis speculation for a moment....

Is anyone else encouraged by the fact that this "concept" is being shown on a stretched small car platform rather than a shrunk large car platform?

Has anyone considered what this may point to as far as overall size of the final product?

I for one may have just had my hopes boosted.

I thought about that as well. Stretched small car preportions are much better than a concept sitting on a large car chassis.

Hell, if the concept's not a running car, it may be riding on 2x4's and 2 pvc pipes for axles!

That is what I feared a while back. But my understanding is that the car will be quite cool, and this won't be anything to worry about. Alot of us got riled up over the Challenger, and none of us knows what chassis, or whats under the hood.

Its good to know that this misinformation was cut down with the broad sword. Until the next insurrection!...

Re: Camaro Concept will be on a stretched Kappa chassis

Oh man, I kinda expected this car to run!!! That would make it even more awesomeerest if it did...you know, LS7 mated to 6spd sequential...valved exhaust like the Z06. Big Baer brakes...18's and 19's....HID's..a real, one off, 2006 Camaro.

Re: Camaro Concept will be on a stretched Kappa chassis

Yeah, I hope its a fully running concept that way magazines can do some outdoor photo ops, and some burn outs like they did with the SS concept a few years ago. It will make the fron cover of every major auto magazine

What will be under the hood of the concept?

5.3 LS4?
6.0 LS2?
6.2 LSx?
7.0 LS7?

or something else?

Re: Camaro Concept will be on a stretched Kappa chassis

I agree with 91 Z28 4 me, it's a very high beltline just like the 300c.

Now that that's out of the way.... how do I order one?


Give me a brand new 71 Challenger with a hemi and a pistol grip manual.

or... Give me an updated version 37 years later that looks just like it.

I would buy it now.
