Camaro SS prototype lapped ?Ring in 8:19

[sportyaccordy]

I'm not being hypocritical.  The Mustang isn't built by Chevy.  Both the Cobalt SS and the Camaro SS are.  The Camaro has 162 more horsepower, 148 lb-ft of additional TQ, is RWD, has a 6 speed manual, IRS, costs over $7000 more, and is supposed to be their performance champ behind the Corvette.  If Ford built an SVT Focus that is virtually as fast as the GT500, I would be saying there needs to be a bigger performance gap between the two.

Maybe in a drag race... throw in turns and an automatic C6 drop top would run circles around even the best Camaro ever. That's like saying since the new Accord coupe is about as fast as an S2000 they're too close for comfort....

It doesn't look any worse than a Mustang or a Challenger.  Although the interior looks like ass.

I think it is a distant third to both the mustang and challenger, i don't know if that would qualify it as looking like ass but i certainly understand hemi's opinion.

Because it has less of a retro look compared to the other cars?  The problem I found with Mustangs and even more so with Challenger is that they look really dated already.  And the Challenger looks more retro than the Mustang even though it is newer.  I think the Camaro's exterior would stay fresher in comparison.

No, because it looks like ass compared to the other cars. The current(pre 2010) mustang looks good from all angles. The design is smooth and cohesive, ditto the challenger. The camaro looks like it had 3 designers and each of them liked a different generation of camaro. Then some bean counter came in and told them to settle their differences they could each design a section of the car implementing styling ques from their favorite camaro generation. The guy who did the front end did a great job, give him a bonus. The other 2 cobbled the side profile together into that rediculous quarter and rear end and threw some retarded fake side fins in for good measure.

I can't argue with that.

I agree with the assessment that the front looks significantly better than the side and the rear.  But it's not necessarily ass.  I'll have to see that thing in person to judge though.

I have seen it and I still thought it looked like ass.

I don't think that the 2010 Mustang looks very good. I think it's a rather lazy attempt at a restyle.

Well, you're an idiot.

How is it lazy?

[TBR]

Well, you're an idiot.

How is it lazy?

If it isn't a lazy attempt at a restyle, what is it?

[2o6]

Well, you're an idiot.

To the untrained eye, it looks exactly the same as the car it replaced.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

When i was talking about the mustang i was talking about the current body style NOT the 2010 restyle.

THIS IS CAMARO THREAD. KEEP YOUR GOD DAMN MUSTANG TROLLING IN THE MUSTANG THREAD. THIS IS CAMARO THREAD.

[2o6]

The Camaro does not have fins. Those are hips.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Let's get back to talking about the fatty.

I didn't bring it up.

I see fins.  What do you call them?

[FlatBlackCaddy]

The camaro is back baby, the legacy continues.

I wonder if GM will have a factory delete option for the steering, i won't be needing it. 

[FlatBlackCaddy]

ahh memories, can't wait to have some more. Just ordered a 2ss in black with the fin delete.

[SVT666]

Just ordered a 2ss in black with the fin delete.

Seriously?

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Seriously?

[the Teuton]

I wonder if GM will sell the car with a factory solid rear axle option through COPO.

I think the camaro looks good for a come back, I mean after it's out for a few years it can get a refresh. I mean I guess I'm in the minority that I like all sides except the front.

And it's sad that cars like the Camaro and Mustang just get grouped into drag racing and drag racing only. I mean their roots are more in SCCA and Trans-Am? I rather see the car come back to its roots.

[NomisR]

I have seen it and I still thought it looked like ass.

It doesn't look too bad but some of the details makes it look like a toy and cheap.  Maybe it'll look better in black.

[GoCougs]

I keep sayin' it - I think it looks fantastic - better than the Mustang, and infinitely better than the Challenger.

[TBR]

I personally think all three look quite good, but I think the Camaro is my favorite. The Challenger is slab-sided and I just can get over the black trim on the Mustang.

True!

Yeah, kinda like the Porsche 997.
