I won't be surprised if they don't build it but am hoping they do.

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

I'd take the money GM would have gotten for a 5th Gen and put it all into a 3rd gen. I personally think a clean 3rd gen is cooler than most 1st gens... You just don't see many nice 3rd gens... come to think of it, I may do that even if they do build the 5th gen...

Go get some beer and piddle on the 2 hopeless Camaro projects I already have and kick around a lightened 3rd gen with an LSx drivetrain.

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

I would be truly dissapointed , plain and simple. I really hope GM doesn't even have a second thought of canceling , even if the beancounters try to sway the Camaro project. If it doesn't get produced well it's off to buy a used c5 z06 Corvette, 09 Mustang GT or Challenger. I will NOT have a license plate saying GM suck's on my new Mustang as I respect GM and FORD and really wan't to see both companies back at their glory days doing good. At the same time though I won't be a happy camper by far if there's no Camaro by 2008 . GM BUILD IT, so I can purchase one along with all the other Camaro enthusist so we can bring the American Bada#$ muscle back to the streets.

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

1) Buy new GTO
2) Build an IROC, a mid 70's Super Duty T/A, or another 1st Gen Camaro, or a '69 Firebird
3) Buy an '05+ Mustang GT and build an 'Eleanor' clone

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

Be disappointed and deal with it.

See what's out there when I go for a new car and just buy what I like.

If the new Chevy's are as good looking as the pics of the new Malibu seem to be I'll get another Chevy. If not, I'll go with a 300 or Charger (assuming there isn't something totally new out there I like).

If they don't make the Camaro, would they still make the GTO? Would seem to make more sense to drop the GTO and make only the Camaro if they can only have one 2 door sports coupe. But if I liked the GTO and there was no Camaro, I'd consider it.

Or, if I need it, I'll get a Dakota (I'm actually looking into a new Dakota now. Has anyone heard if they are going to extend the Employee Pricing Plus on Dodge vehicles?).

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

Outside of cancelling my plans to buy a 5th-gen someday, I really don't think it would change my plans at all. I'd be disappointed, but I'd still buy a C6 someday (as I plan to do anyway), I'd still maintain my disdain for Mustangs, and I'd continue feeling that the Challenger is just not what I'm looking for in a car.

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

I would build my own starting with a 3rd gen vert, making a vert of course. Heck I don't think aside from the body panels it would be un-doable.

Also put in a crate LS7 for the power plant.

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

1) Twincharge the cobalt
2) Buy an 05-06 GTO and try to do something with the looks
3) Try to get a Firehawk

Either way, i will have a license plate that reads "IH8MYLIFE"

Re: What would you do if GM doesn't produce the Camaro?

Nope, In Utah that would count as 8 spaces, the space counts as a Letter/Number. But the Good news is the plate is avaliable here in Utah.

You just have to move here.

Look here to try out your Ideas. I'm sure most states have the same kind of service.
