The Official Sixth Gen Camaro Thread!

[12,000 RPM]

The difference is body style.  One is a, for lack of a better term, a wagon, while the other is a coupe or has a coupe like roofline.  If you don't want to distinguish between them, then coupe and wagon are the same as well.

Where is the coupe in this post, I see 2 hatchbacks

My Z is a hatchback

The back has a hatch

Hatch

Back

Doesn't matter what the angle of the hatch is. "Liftback" is a marketing term that died in 1989... its a subclass of hatchback.

Well considering the previous GT couldn't best the vastly cheaper C6 Z06 (and got murdered by the moderately cheaper ZR1), yeah, Ford fanboys should be hoping. And whatever the new ZR1 is, wow, that's gonna be rough on them.

Exactly!

The Rustangs time is coming to an end!

The GT350R begs to differ.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

The GT350R begs to differ.

We will see! I'm willing to bet it's no faster than the currant Z28....

How much?

Chevy release audio of the Camaro's LT1.  Damn this sounds good.

Apparently it's a fair bit different from the Corvette.  20% different packaging.  Completely different headers.

The 5/16 unveiling date doesn't correspond with any major auto show.  With an unveiling that late in the year, this thing may not show up at dealers until November or December.  Unless Chevy's trying to keep things as quiet as possible as late as possible so Ford doesn't have a chance to respond with any kind of sophomore enhancements to the 2016 Mustang.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Sounds damn good!

Oh, boy, this is gonna be huge. Sure looks smaller. Still not a big fan of any of the recent renderings but if they can hold the line - ~3,500 lbs, 460 hp, under $35k - it's a game changer for the whole of the auto industry.

No, it won't be a game changer. These are niche vehicles.

This is just the rumormill, but damn I hope it's true.

Sounds like nothing more than fanboi gossip.

[hotrodalex]

Forgot gossip is only acceptable when it makes the Mustang look good.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

[FlatBlackCaddy]

So this thing is still going to be 3800lbs in moderately equipped v8 trims.

Lame

[SVT666]

Carbon fiber body panels, 808 hp, 3400 lbs, etc. I will believe it when I see it.

[GoCougs]

The current ZL1 has a 7:41 'Ring lap time yet despite ~230 more hp, ~300 fewer pounds, and undoubtedly improvements to chassis, handling and brakes, and all the ZL2 can manage is a 7:31? Something doesn't add up, but either way, judging by GM's current and recent hi-po efforts, take whatever is happening today with the competition, and the new Camaro in all its forms will be better.

Like the LT6 and 396 monikers but at that price point F/I is the only way to get big power like that (and turbos are generally cheaper than supercharging - sigh). This speaks to the ZR1 motor as well.

It probably goes into limp mode after the 2nd mile of the Ring...

[GoCougs]

Limp mode? What does that even mean?

[SVT666]

Laugh a little.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Laugh a little.

Oh I'll be laughing when this Camaro whips the rustangs ass! 

[hotrodalex]

Laugh a little.

That joke was old two months ago.

Corvette has quite a few carbon fiber bits and the GT350R has carbon wheels, I don't see what's so crazy about a CF hood, roof, or decklid on a top trim Camaro.

808 HP might be a bit extreme, but it'll be more than the GT350. And the 3400 lbs might be a bit of light estimate, just like the Miata estimates were lighter than the production car. But none of that stuff is impossible. I sure hope they get as close to all it if as they can.

[SVT32V]

Oh I'll be laughing when this Camaro whips the rustangs ass! 

Well they have some work to do, the current mustang GT absolutely leaves the ss standing still, 5 sec faster to 130 is an eternity.

[GoCougs]

Oh I'll be laughing when this Camaro whips the rustangs ass! 

A given since the new Mustang used the current (old) Camaro as its bogey (and didn't quite hit it, at least in performance).

[hotrodalex]

lol you just cherrypicked the one stat that the Mustang wins in.

Camaro is faster in the 1/4 mi.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Right! The Camaro is 6 years old and still runs neck and neck with the all new rustang!

[SVT32V]

Trap speed is quite a bit higher in the mustang, driven to its potential it will take the quarter.

Further, it is just plain faster, there is no arguing against it.
