The only absolute deal breakers are the following:

1. Manual transmission. This is a no-brainer, but sometimes it's good to state the obvious.

2. Price. It's gotta be competitive with the Mustang, bottom line, no excuses.

3. Backseat. The backseat MUST be useable, or else, I'll never sell the "boss" on it since we've got a rugrat.

4. Cargo space. Again, it's gotta be at least on par with the Mustang or else the "boss" wont approve it.

The package as a whole has to be there: performance, styling, utility, etc.... I'm not worried, though.

 

True, but thats why I said keep it simple.

 

It just needs to be a "Camaro"

 

In order of importance to me:

1. RWD & V8
2. Must look like a Camaro (no smiling).
3. Rear end NOT made out of glass.
4. Transmission that can handle the power it makes (and then some).
5. Solid chassis - No squeaks or rattles.
6. Interior quality up to par (like GTO's).
7. Cheaper than Mustang (even if it's just $1).

 

1. Horsepower
2. Handling

 

Optional DVD player and NAV system.

 

6.0L
live axle
basic luxury's (pw,pl, a/c)
Must weigh the same or less than a 4th gen Camaro (weight is as important as hp/tq)
Priced competitively with Mustang
Room under the hood to actually work on (modify) the drivetrain.

 

^^^ right there ^^^

 

1. V8 (iron 6.0 would be great, but, I can always swap that in)
2. RWD
3. T56
4. 1LE
5. Z/28 (with the slash please)
5. Blue metallic
6. Strong Rear Axle (Dont care what kind, just dont break every time I drive)
7. Angry looking (retro or modern, I couldnt care less, just be a camaro)
8. TTops/Targa
9. Great (GTO-like) seats

 

It has to have:

Manual tranny
over 330 hp V8
Revolutionary or evolutionary styling
targa or t-tops (or a roof with helmet space)
17-18 inch tires
seats with real bolsters
weigh in about or less than the current car
shorter than the current car
Corvette-ish windsheild rake

I will be on the fence for a while if it doesn't have (not single items but a combo of):
IRS
Aluminum block
solid diff
track option package (Z28?)
cockpit style driver's environment
provisions for a trailer hitch (gotta get the race rubber there somehow)

I'd really like to see:
Process to allow customization of the car your buying at the dealership, installed while you're signing your name. Could be different:
-spoiler
-wheels
-seat color inserts
-gauge face colors
-stripes
-shift *****
-etc

 

*potent engine lineup (not worried here)
* 6spd manual tranny (not worried here)
* quality upto par with vehicles in its price range
* good looking exterior/interior.
* T-tops or Targa (though i prefer hardtops myself).
* strong rear, not this cheap weak 10bolt crap.
* variety of wheels, trims, and appearance differeces/options between different models.

 

Sounds like most of us want a 4th gen again.

But might I suggest that we quit calling the 4th gen that, but rather call it the Death gen. Since most every thing about it spelled the death of the namesake we cherish here...

If retro sells, so be it.

 

Those two are always a big arguement. I would like to see HID and LED lights, and maybe a HUD, but those two I don't love so much.

But I can see how some people could want those, just like a SMG, or something like it.

They need a good mix of luxury and geeky gadgets for it to be a solid seller, and that can't jack the price up to high.

 

Needs lots of stuff. Lots of stuff that is... done dead nuts right. I have a sense that people at GM know what should be done.....let's hope that GM "as a company" (to paraphrase Ruess), commits - both in will and money - to get the Camaro done, dead nuts right.

 

Well, this thread does ask what each one of us would consider important enough to merit the car purchase, not what will sell the car to the masses.

This is a website of enthusiasts you know (for the most part.)
