I'll take that bet, every other GM car has an AUX in there is no reason the Camaro won't. Especially since it has been mentioned the a great stereo was important to the developement team.

 

Oh come on. This is hardly news.



The SS version will so own the Challenger -- even the SRT8 -- until Dodge upgrades the 6.1.

It's about the same weight and more power than the BMW 650i. Less power and about the same weight as the M6 but then it's just a little cheaper

If you want a couple of hundred pounds lighter (and down 70hp), there's the G37 for your consideration.

It looks pretty good to me!

 

i'm in love

 

oh come on...wake up, all cars are getting heavier, not lighter...it certainly isn't Scott's fault. You're calling the car a "pig" and you havn't even seen it in person yet (or gotten the official specs).

There are ways to shed weight if you're that worried about it. I'm sure the 'stang will gain some weight in the coming years, and the difference will only be a few 100 lbs...big 'effin deal, get over it.

 

The exterior is awesome. The interior shots definately look better than the old "spy shots" from a couple of months ago. Would prefer a bit different look, but very nice regardless. Torque guage is silly, and I'm not much of a gadget person, but those are just minor details. Oh ya, headlights look great. Again, minor detail in my eyes, but they do enhance the look of the car.

The Edmunds article mentioned skip-shift. Really? Yikes. Hopefully it will be as easy to disable as the one in my 4th gen. Interestingly is says that this keeps the TR6060 SS out of 'Gas Guzzler' territory. I wonder about the A6? Reading further, it says 15/23 mpg, and mentions that is identical to the Challenger R/T. I do remember a thread going around recently on how the SS's mileage should exceed the Dodge's, given the LS series reputation for gas sipping (on the highway), the the Hemi's reputation for gulping gas, and the approx 200 lb weight difference.

Perhaps I'm jumping the gun on that one, and should wait for the official EPA estimates.

All that said....I cannot get over the 2 ton+ (once you're in the driver's seat) weight of the car. Sucks to be me I guess.

Also, and I guess I knew it was coming, but this sure takes some of the excitement off of Indy.

Great job on the look of the car, though. It is visually stunning.

 

Thats what I am thinking as well. This car should dip into the 12's stock and if this car is priced with or a little above a Mustang GT That is a Bargain.

 

So if I am reading things right the Auto SS will have a Ative fuel managment and the 6 speed stick will not? Can you not have the AFM with a stick? Will the efficiency of the Stick make the MPG the same as the Auto with AFM?

I see that Dodge has two different engines at well for the R/T with a auto verse a stick.

 

Apparently not. Honda did the same thing with two versions of their V6 in the Accord.

 

Did anyone find out what Jason was talking about with the "look in the area of the steering wheel" thing?

 

I know its not Scotts fault as he plays the cards he is delt but I was venting. I owe him an apology for that. I really like the car but the weight just has me bent out of shape. All cars are getting to heavy. Maybe when I drive one I will feel different.

 

Thanks Camaro team

Looks great!

 

...that would be a cool...

 

I want this in hi res for my background!



Anyone else see a T bar where the sunroof runs in this pic?

 

I thought the same thing you're probably thinking .

Might be an issue with side curtain airbags requirements maybe? Even so, if there is still a market for T-Tops, it probably wouldn't take long for the aftermarket to come up with something.

....personally, even though I've always like T-Tops, I wouldn't want to "butcher" my car for them.

 

You need to have some kind of structure there in cars without the sunroof.
