That was posted by RP, or the Fbodfather, or Scott Settlemire (sorry Scott, I hope I got that right). You have called him a rogue employee, not very respectful in my eyes, also "What exactly are you trying to convince me off? Everything you wrote didnt make sense to me? Are you FOR a new Camaro? You never actully state your thoughts and information.. What press release? Explain yourself....." Umm, No. Read the boards! If you aren't sure what we are referring to, ask! not demand. Maybe you did not intend to come off as a smart-***, ok, fair enough. But, to the majority of people who have responded, myself included, you sure sound like you are (a smart-***). That is why people are jumping on you.

You don't like the GTO, ok, your opinion, perfectly valid. However, many people do. You like DCX products? Again, fine, I think they are ugly ****ing bricks, catering to the rappper-wanna be gangsta crowd or ... well I am not exactly sure what crowd the Magnum Sedan, err Charger caters too. My opinion, equally valid.

Back to the Camaro matter, sure, it very well may not have any production orders for tooling or components. All RP has eluded to is that there is something that the crowd on a Camaro fan website really wants to see at the Detroit Auto Show (just a guess but it isn't the Challenger or the newest Buick crossover) . He is under embargo from telling us what he really knows. So he hints as much as he can without jeopardizing his career and position.

In the end, you can believe him or not. But after you type your opinion, step back and read it from the perspective of someone who is not inside your head, but someone who can only read your written word. You may find your choice of words suspect. Peace.
Well, Thanks for explaining mine, your own and others posts. I did come off as a *****, I was just kind of heated as to how so many people can believe a certain thing without barely any proof existing and going on the word of a few GM employees.

Re: Automobile Mag says Camaro dead in water

Fair enough. If there is no GM RWD (Camaro) coupe, I will join in you in making the night after the Tigers won the world series look like a picnic. personally, I am looking forward to sharing a beer with Charlie and Scott and Guy all the others who I have had good conversations with, laughing about all the angst we have had, and weedling for a ride in Scott's Z06!

Well, again, I don't think we will be disappointed. BUT, if we are, then we can blame our actions on alcoholically induced schizophrenia

Re: Automobile Mag says Camaro dead in water

I have alot of faith in GM bringing the Camaro back. I can't wait till next years auto show. I can wait less to walk into my local dealership and buy a new Camaro.

And that is something everyone needs to realize and appreciate. I can't imagine the fine line he is walking.

Hey V8slayer,

I'll give you the same bet I've given every other doubter that comes in here.

If we don’t have a Camaro by the end of the decade I'll give you my car.

If we do I own yours.

How bout it?
