Re: Quad-Coupe GTO/Camaro

Man, look at all the knee jerk reactions.

FWIW, compare the Ion redline WITH suicide doors to the Cobalt SS WITHOUT suicide doors. Their performance numbers are identical. There's no huge weight penalty for the suicide door.

Personally, I love the suicide doors. We've got them on our Ion Redline and they not only make your front doors shorter and easier to open in a parking lot, but they also make the back seat much more accessible. I'm all for them, but Not on the Camaro. I think they'd be great on a GTO though.

To me the issue isn't weight.

It is the vomit-inducing hideousness of even the postulation that a G*DD*MN*D CAMARO gets 4 doors of any type.

4 door Camaros make the baby Jesus cry, and the Charger is positively repulsive.

Yep. Just my opinion.

I hate lima beans too, and blue is a MUCH better color than green.

Re: Quad-Coupe GTO/Camaro

Neither should have 4-doors.

A 4-door GTO is a LeMans or a GrandPrix.

A 4-door Camaro has never existed, and I'll kill any man that suggests it should have 4-doors.

Judge ye not on the count of doors but on the content on the engine bay.


Words to live by.

Heretic.

Camaro 21:4 (KPV version)

Know ye that woe besets any of thine bretheren who defileth the name of the Holy Machine. Know ye that greater than two doors is working that which is unseemly, and that the fires of judgement and anguish and eternal damnation await those to try to do such things. Woe, woe, woe!

Re: Quad-Coupe GTO/Camaro

No to four doors on either. Can we get the Red Prophet in here to dispell this blasphemy?
