The Official Sixth Gen Camaro Thread!

How do you do with Fords?

I used to be able to look in the rear view mirror at night and tell the make, model and year of the car just by the look of the headlights.

I used to, up until the mid-2000s, and then everything just changed.

Outside of Mustangs and T Birds I'm not too good with those year wise!  I'm still good with the model of the Ford tho!

Yeah! Everything looks like a 1985 Taurus in my rear view now!

I can't think of a reason to buy a Camaro over a Rustang, even with the discount... so I don't blame GM

If you don't want to cut your mullet, you're stuck with the Camaro.

Hopefully the next gen (undoubtedly an EV) doesn't make retarded fake whooshing noises like that Challenger EV concept did.

No more Camaros? WTF?

[Eye of the Tiger]

No electric Camaro Z69 RS SS electric crossover?

I think a Camaro EV would make more sense than a Corvette EV. Camaro's are already pretty heavy and they are more of a "GT" than a sports car anyway.

You'd think with EV's it would be easy to engineer. Just plop a coupe body on one of those skateboard platforms.

Coupes really need a T shaped battery so they can sit lower.

God knows the Camaro would benefit from the "cameras out the ass" treatment that is oddly standard across all EVs.

Too bad about the Camaro's demise, but to be honest I haven't been seeing many of them around lately. My theory is that trucks gobbled up the Camaro's target market of "insecure enlisted personnel overflowing with testosterone". I used to see lots of Camaros near the naval bases (and Pontiac Grand Prix before that?). Not so much anymore.

Yeah, that's the problem and why we aren't really seeing EV sports cars yet.  The skateboard idea really only lends itself to appliance shapes to some degree.

The capital-V Volt had a "T" shaped battery pack, didn't it?

IMO, in performance trims (i.e., vents/scoops/flares/wings), the Mustang and Challenger are much more ungainly and garish vs. the Camaro and thus mos def satiate to a greater extent the low-status/insecure/emotionals (LIEs). All told though, full-size trucks are 2-3 steps above in satiating the LIEs, and why pony cars these days sell but 10% of the peak of their historical volumes.

I am quite satiated with TUNDRA. V8 noise, 0-60 in 6 seconds. It's basically a fat pony.

Early second gen Tundra wasn't there yet. The trend didn't seem to start until 10-12 years ago - Look at the ridiculous new Tundra. WTF is even going on:

The early second gen has a big truck grille, but it doesn't look like Optimus Prime fucked a Borg cube.

[CaminoRacer]

Tundra? more like TRONdra

[CaminoRacer]

The capital-V Volt had a "T" shaped battery pack, didn't it?

Yeah, just 1/3 the size of what a full EV would need. 17-18 kwh

If you make U-shaped 18 kwh packs, you could easily double them up by making them into a W for 36 kwh.

FINALLY. 2025 Z/28 to reportedly have the Z06's LT6. Will also probably have the DCT too.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43578551/2025-chevrolet-camaro-z28-future-cars/

Could be relevant to my interests but the last Z/28 was essentially track-only, which is probably not for me.

Shame. I will always be a Camaro guy. The 6th gen is now 10 years old and the new gen Mustang still can't match it and can only mask its deficiencies with stunts like an underpowered flat plane crank V8 and far too much power.

GM chose to put the time/money/effort into the Corvette instead. Can't blame them. The C8 is more than a runaway hit and at least the Camaro won't live on as some goofy-looking 4-door hatchback EV thingy!!!
