Don't get your hopes up too high. The Toranas of the seventies looked nothing like a Camaro.

Re: Torana TT36!

I just saw the video... the nose looks a lot like the Opel Insigna.

And it isn't small.

However, as a Camaro???

Personally I like the Holden GTS-R.

No more talk of the kappa chassis being too small. It looks like the right size for me. Just take away two of the doors, add a few Camaro styling cues and viola...we have a new camaro...

But NOT if you can't stuff an LS2 under the hood.

Yes, I watched the unveiling live. If it is a Torana, a V8 will have to be available. Also, we know that an engine 4 cylinders long will fit and now we see that a "V" configuration will too. Hmmm...

Not for how it looks...but what it's built on.

Looks like a big block could almost fit in this photo.

Re: Torana TT36!

Time for a new letter writing campaign:

Torana as a four door pontiac and a two door Chevy (with different styling if you know what I mean)

Re: Torana TT36!

It takes ***** to make a pink concept car.

I think the deminsions of that car would make the perfect Camaro. Just delete two doors and add the V8. If a 4 cylinder and a DOHC V6 can fit, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
