C&G on the 5th Gen Camaro
Well nearly a year ago C&G (cheersandgears) uncovered their story on the Camaro. I've believed it, as I'm a loyal member there. However, I just started posting on this site, so I'll share the information with you all. Do you all agree or disagree? Here's some of the info...
Here's a link to the thread:

*Mods edit this if advertising isn't allowed, but I'm not trying to advertise. Thanks.
- Possible Hamtramck, MI plant
- V6 - 3.9L, SS - 5.3L, Z/28 - More powerful than SS
- Car is in clay form and 85% of styling is complete
- Comes out in 2008 on Zeta with Z/28 1-2 years later

I myself would never ever order or want a Camaro with all wheel drive.
They can take all those wheels and drive em up some other place....

IF AWD is even part of the program, (it may get axed), it won't be available with the most powerful engine or a manual trans.

Re: C&G on the 5th Gen Camaro
It all seems possible but with GM so SS happy I don't see the z28 being the top of the line Camaro(I can say camaro right?). 
FOr me if it has the camaro nameplate that is plus but not the end of the world if it does not. Top of the line z28 or ss, quite frankly I don't care provided it has ls2, 6 speed and a solid axle. Styling is just as important as the performance and price.
Didn't someone say last year that it should be beyond clay if it is going to come out in 08??

Re: C&G on the 5th Gen Camaro
It's funny how most of that information is still old, the program has changed so much but yet....most of it is relevant again. Sort of like it all came around full circle over the past many months. This business is screwy!!
NOS, you've discovered a great site here in cz28 but I'm sure you already know it because I'm always singing it's praises.

Re: C&G on the 5th Gen Camaro
I like the idea of the Z28 being the "top dog" again but with the way GM and Chevrolet are building up this whole "SS" extravaganza lately, I highly doubt it will happen. If the Camaro ever does happen to come back out, which I hope really happens, I bet they won't change their current trend right now and make the Z28 superior over the SS.

I actually use my cars as daily drivers, and while I've made do with RWD time and time again with little trouble (78 Grand Prix, 89 Camaro RS 5.0, 99 Z28, 04 GTO), and would like to check out an AWD Camaro, but I don't want to buy a non-performance version.
