That might be a bit much to fit on the fenders .
I would like for it to be called the Camaro, but if it came as the "Panther" or something else, Id still be in that dealer show room. I dont think that they can sell the non-camaro name better then if they had the Camaro on the fenders.

If you think that people freaked out over a Monaro, badged as a GTO......can you imagine.....C-A-N * Y-O-U* I-M-A-G-I-N-E ....the hullabaloo at a Camaro called Chevelle.

the question is however, will the next chevy rwd coupe have GTO priceing? starting 35k? Thats alot of $$ and will inturn drive away most got fast for less buyers to the mustang for 25k 300hp and almost as fast.

I think that GM will prob go with chevelle...GTO and chevelle, maybe switch back to camaro? But with the stir over the chevelle concept joke, and people really wanting the car back gm might have listened to that.

I sincerely do hope that the camaro does return..but we will see

Will it be priced like the GTO?! Of course the top models will be expensive and/or close to the GTO's price. (or more, you never know, but I kinda doubt it) There should be a V8 mid-model that performs good too.

If there is an $18,000 Mustang.....there will be an $18,000 Camaro.

I dont wanna sound harsh or over the top but if Chevy builds a 2+2 V8, RWD pony car coupe aimed at competing directly with the Mustang it better be called CAMARO! This forthcoming car seems to have Camaro DNA all over it and if its called anything else it will be a slap in the face to Camaro fans everywhere.

I think it will be a slap in the face of the GM Performance fanbase period. It is very important that GM call it Camaro. Because for some, if its not called Camaro, its the same as GM not making the car at all and we wont buy it. The name is that important, at least it is to me.

Speaking of which, I have been slacking hardcore on that. Those of you who are non-homeowners who are thinking about buying, but value your free time? Don't bother...interest rates aren't as important as I thought

Seriously though, I'm still in the midst of unpacking crap...once I do, I have a project coming...if I can't do something eye-catching with a white and orange bullet, then I guess I ain't trying hard enough

Ok...I give up........

I've only said "have faith" for about 527,461 times............and that didn't work.

So here's the real scoop.......

Our competition for the new Mustang is gonna be called the MONZA.......it'll have 950 horsepower in it's top form....in the base form, we're gonna offer the "Iron Duke II" 4 banger.......with an optional "towne coupe" landau roof.

Oh yeah.......no RWD........or FWD........or AWD.........we have a top secret propulsion system.........which was technology we brought back from the moon wayyyyyyyyy back in 1969.........

(banging head against wall until I bleed.........)
