Houndstooth would be interesting, but I'd have to see what a modern interpretation of it would look like.

 

Make the Z28, the (Z06) of Camaro's, and the SS more of a street trim brawler...as with 1st gen, on avg.(ie; '69)

Oh, how about a Candy-Apple Metalic SS ??...with white Houndstooth...

 

Something incredibly easy and cheap: bring back the "Tick Tock Tach"

Maybe only include that in the SS models.

 

Well I've got to put my order in too!

I'd like a...

6-speed SOM SS Convertible with a black top and black leather seats

 

Hmm, since we are taking orders, I'll take a Top-O-The-Line Camaro*, M6, 6.2 or 7 liter LS with Ebony leather, and Hugger Orange paint. Oh, and can I have a side of black hockey stick stripes to go please!


* In order to avoid the SS vs Z/28 thing yet again I will henceforth refer to the all out perfromer as "Top-O-The-Line Camaro" (mostly )

 

Brushed Al or something is one thing, but that wood looks like *** in the Imp and would be a travesty in the Camaro...

 

Oh don't get me wrong RP, I love my 95 Z28. As a performer its still fun 10 years later. After test driving the GTO and C6 Corvette, I climbed back in my 10 year old ancient technology Z28 and drove home... all the while thinking, "I can hold out a few more years" with a big grin on my face. However, everyday I pass 5th gen Camaros on the way to work. Other than the SS, you have to look real hard to tell the Z28s from the V6 base Camaros. (I doubt my wife could ever tell the difference.) It shouldn't be that way. Z28 should stand out on its own and turn heads all day long.

In a perfect world, my wife will love the looks of the next gen Camaro, and we'll purchase a Patriot Red SS Convertible for her (with 6-spd Auto) and a Sunset Orange Z28 for me.

Hey a guy can dream, right?

Yeah, I know that. But I was having fun with the guy and the fact that I actually own a plain Jane coupe with the 327-210 V8... ok it used to have a 327.

 

Don't tease like that!

 

yep, that's what i was trying to get at but i hacked it up pretty badly.

but the RS with a I6 thing i didn't know, i thought they all had V8s

 

oh, i was under the impression that the Z28 was pretty much there from the beginning

 

w/out pics.

I took your vanilla comment to mean appearance-wise, not performance. I think Red took it the other way.

 

Oh, and since we're ordering....
ME-Z28, red on black houndstooth, black hockey stick, 6sp w/ a white cue ball.

HER-Base model WITH mid level V8 option, White on Red leather, A6, heated seats.

 

OK, since we're ordering our cars already:

Z28 or SS (wich ever is more tuned for auto-x, time trials and road racing), power windows and locks (I'll take my chances on reliablity to NOt have to reach all the way across the interior), ability to mount a trailer hitch.

I don't know about color yet, but an artic white with dual Daytona Sunset Orange stripes is the early favorite...or maybe blue with yellow stripes (a tip of the hat to the Penske/Donahue Camaros)

Interior: color matched seat and door inserts (similar to Cobalt SS), deep support seats that'll accept shoulder harness, color matched gauge faces (like the GTO), bring back the 'blister vents', XM and/or MP3 compatible radio.

That's about it, I'm not interested in a 'luxury' Camaro....yet.

 

Red interior? Very very few cars pull that off well.

I'm with whatever will be the top performer, SS or z28, i don't think either would dissapoint. I'd like a 6spd manual or maybe even a 6spd autostick (like new corvette) since i do alot of highway/jam driving. This time, i'd like to give the T-top thing i try, and i'd take my interior and exterior in one color...black on black. I'd give it the black treatment with a darker tint, black powdecoated wheels with polished lips, and smoked tail and headlights (not the cheap covers). Give it a nice interior, a nice exhaust tone, and an engine that's easy to get to, and i'm game .

 

With the right exterior color, I think it looks good on the GTO and Mustang.
