The Official Sixth Gen Camaro Thread!

[FlatBlackCaddy]

The SSR is sought after? But it's junk.

Tounge in cheek?

The SSR languished on lots and was subjected to the typical gm giveaway.

How is Ford having hugely marked up special Mustangs a GOOD thing? I'm a consumer, I don't want to pay 2x MSRP. I want the cheap one that still goes fast.

They gotta get the money before the GT350/350R get destroyed by the next pumped up Camaro or the Z06.....

Word, and spend it on the Voodoo, since at best it's tied with the lighter/smaller/simpler ten-year-old LS7...

A ~3,600 lb Z/28 with a 550 hp LT7 and MagneRide will absolutely murder a GT350/GT350R.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

It will, it's just too bad the camaro driver won't get to see it happen. Maybe someone could record it so he could watch it later.

[Xer0]

I should have asked Mark Stielow about it, I just saw him last week. Doubt he would have spilled the beans though.

ZL1 with LT4 seems like a no-brainer. A new Z/28 would be spectacular, but more development work. Will have to wait and see. I've heard rumors of a non supercharged Vette engine coming, but Corvette rumors can be pretty sketchy.

What, you mean there isn't a mid engine Vette coming out next year?

The guy in the Miata can record it form behind!

Yeah, cause they're going to pass the Miata every lap.

Page 180 of Jan issue of MT. Angus Mackenzie has an article titled "Revelation a Chevy that's better than a BMW" He compares the sixth Gen Camaro to the 340i. he declares the SS the all around better car while calling the 340i "Middle aged" while describing the Camaro as "reborn"!

It's barely even December. I want my month back!!   

[AutobahnSHO]

but get worse gas mileage. And not have as fun.

You think 500+ hp sports coupes are not as much fun as a Miata on a track?  I would agree if you said they weren't as much fun on "Tail of the Dragon" where you can't get over 40 mph, but not on a track.

I completely agree with you.




But I will never have time/money for track. Same for most people.

Sweet merciful Jesus... have you guys heard what the new 335 hp '16 Camaro V6 sounds like??? Almost compels me to put it on my next car list.

[SVT666]

Holy shit.  Not F-Type good, but that's still awesome for a V6.

[MX793]

I like the sound of a well sorted V6.  The Jag F-Type's V6 is incredible sounding.  I loved the sound of my last Mustang's V6.  It would spit and crackle on engine braking with a completely stock, standard exhaust (no active exhaust trickery or optional sport exhaust like in the Camaro above).

Every other "article" by Jalopnik is one of these stupid questions. At least this one provides some content - a lot of them are just a question and rely on commentors to provide answers.

WHAT CAR YOU NEVER HEARD OF DID SOMETHING YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT?

[Eye of the Tiger]

I am confused. Why would the OEM install an exhaust that is different than regular stock? Won't that make it undriveable and fall off in a year?

Yea, it's pretty good. Not outside of the realm of what's in the aftermarket but damn good for an OEM. With split true duals a VQ sounds like a 911.

I like that about Jalopnik. Later in the day, or the next day, they have the list compiled from member's input, and it's usually pretty good. Unlike say, MSN Autos, where some moron compiles a bullshit list of "Ermagerd the 10 cars you should never buy".

I never see those lists. Maybe that's my problem.

C&D compared the character of the Camaros V6 to that of the NSXs C30.

[280Z Turbo]

Ford should stop pushing the Ecoboost like a $2 whore and just let us have the V6 Track pack again.

[Rich]

I'm gonna get crucified for this but I'd rather have a corvette with that v6 than a corvette with the ltv8. Imo the design of a corvette is very futuristic and by looking at it I imagine hearing something more high strung. More Porsche or bmw than 70s muscle car.

On the other hand I think the Camaro's design matches up well with the v8. It looks like a muscle car throwback.



I wonder if I could slide that v6 into a solstice hmmmmm

[MrH]

Ewwwww Solstice.  Nasty.

[AutobahnSHO]

Ewwwww Solstice.  Nasty.

they're polarizing for sure. I'd take one, just because of 2-seat convertible which hopefully isn't a maintenance pit.

[Rich]

Ewwwww Solstice.  Nasty.

Those curves. The only thing I didn't like we're the engines. Great steering on the n/a model, plenty of legroom, shifter felt fine to me (I know it's a sore spot in reviews) and that structure was a tank.


And those curves
