Official 2010 Camaro Review thread

[68_427]

The ZL-1 is supposed to be around $47K, and the GT500 is $49,605 with no options.

[Schadenfreude]

It actually has a newer version of that suspension.

This. Can't confirm or deny that the car might be slightly underrated power wise either. 

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Time for a new model! This car is suppose to be smaller than the currant model but it's hard to tell from these pics.....

The beltline looks even higher, and windows even narrower.

Right!!! It does appear to have a smaller trunk...

But crash avoidance tech is also advancing quickly! Two more generations, and Camaros won't have windows.

Yeah, doesn't really look different. What does speak to smaller size though is the use of one of a M3/M4-style singular transverse muffler with dual outlets rather than the current singular muffler on each side. True this is much more compact but I don't care for the aesthetics - looks cheap to me:

I didn't notice that! I'm not a fan of those mufflers! I hope it doesn't hurt the sound of the V8 models.......

[MX793]

Scaling to what I assume are 20" wheels, those side windows look like they're only ~9.5-10" tall.  Yikes.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Should be cheaper to get the windows tinted

[hotrodalex]

Don't even need to tint them, just get some of those tinted rain guards.

But then if you opened the window, there would just be another window...

[Rupert]

Yikes, not my cuppa. Too much asshole attitude, not enough window.

[SVT666]

I didn't think less glass was possible.

Given how much ass GM is kicking with its performance cars - Stingray, Z06, Z/28, ZL1, 1LE, SS sedan, CTS-V Sport, etc., etc. - my hunch is she's gonna sound just dandy . 

[CALL_911]

Yea I'm betting this thing will kick ass

If GM can keep the wheels on there should be very big things coming.

Looking at spy photos, it looks like the new Camaro will have a headlight/upper bumper treatment like the 2013 Bumblebee Camaro




Also some reports/rumors of a V6 terbow/T-Tops

Looks just as ugly as the last one.

I like the current one, though it straddles the line between car and cartoon.  The Bumblebee concept looks too much like a caricature of a car.

[GoCougs]

Hmmm. The Camaro was a big success for GM, and that was mostly due to styling, but it has the same challenge as Ford and the Mustang - how to evolve iconic styling. I don't think Ford did too well - it evolved the styling but in the process the Mustang lost most of its link to its icon.

Now if Chevy does THIS with the Camaro, it'll still rule the roost IMO. I have no idea who did this but it's incredible - still maintains the link to the '69 icon but is smaller and flowier.



To me the shots from the rear make it look smaller than the current car. The space saving M3-style transverse single muffler speaks to this as well.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Fugly front end. Looks like a generic video game car
The current Camaro looks way better - as in, way more like a Camaro.
The new Mustang did better going from overly-retro to more contemporary/yet retaining its identity.

[280Z Turbo]

Jesus those sills are high!!!!!!111!!!!ones

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Is there anything in the works (or rumors) of a smaller gm performance offering.

[68_427]

The Z/28 spool valve shocks are now available from GM for about $3800.

[12,000 RPM]

I hope it comes with panoramic heads up display to let u know what is around the car

Does it share its doors/fenders with the Silverado or wat... they are going in the wrong direction with the styling

Camaro like the Mustang has gone through crazy style changes over the years... there is not really a style legacy so why they are limiting themselves to the original is kind of beyond me.

What?

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I heard that GM is going to go aluminum on the next half ton truck. Using the leftover steel for future 2+ ton muscle car.

I would love to see a shock dyno of them
