Look at it this way, the f-bodies have been dead for almost a year, and they STILL are selling more units than BMW sells M3s!

(normally 12-15,000 per year)

But Firebirds have cooties



I agree, I like the hood/front end of the 'Bird, BUT the 98+ Camaro has really grown on me too.


I prefer the sleek spoiler of the Camaro (when viewed from the side or 3/4 front)

mpfarout,
Actually, you are wrong on this account.
The engine that is used in all '98+ V-8 F-bodies is NOT a Chevy engine. It's a clean sheet design that shares NOTHING in common with the old small block Chevy. No parts are interchangable.
This was a new engine developed by GM Powertrain.
It is truly a corporate engine.

(however, the bore spacing is the same at 4.4 inches. But this doesn't make the LS1 a Chevy engine. It is not.)

Yeah, I know you're right....but I'll always think of it as the GENIII smallblock Chevy.
