That is really really really good news, but...

I dont really like the one that their proposing at first glance anyway. From a design standpoint it has a couple really awkward angles. (I have no idea whats going on with that rear quarter.) And I would want Chevrolet to actually be innovative, and not just follow suite with Ford and Dodge are doing. That low roofline and long hood look even more exagerated than the Charger/Magnum, which I find really hard to drive. I dont know the pricepoint difference, but if it has all the features of the Corvette, but is bigger, heavier and no more practical, I would buy the Vette. I would have preferred seeing a smaller 3 door coupe, like the RX8 but better looking with a real engines. I think that would gain traction with the people that cant afford the CTS-V but want an american sport sedan.

I hope so. As a young guy I dont want the only selling feature of the 5th gen being "nestalgia."

Maybe Ive been waiting so long for this that anything would have let me down. I am warming up to it the more I look at the pictures.

I really like it and I really want one. Make mine a bolero red Z28 with red interior. A dover white Z28 with red interior would do as well.

If I picture a modern Camaro in my mind's eye, that is what I see. It's retro without being a ripoff of an original design.

I hate that inlet at the leading edge of the hood. Who the hell thought that would be a good idea? If they wanted to be cute with the hood they should have put a flapper at the back of the cowl.

Maybe Knight Industries did the design

The interior looks, well, breakable. I'd rather that it wasn't full of gadgets.

I love those interior renderings... I wish I could do that... damn! Nice link.

I think they did a great job on the exterior... almost exactly what I had in mind. Concept cars always look a little strange to me... but hopefully if decide to build it (I hope they do!) they will fine tune the lines and wheel design so it doesn't look quite as heavy and bloated.

The interior is a different story... that interior concept does nothing for me at all... I understand they were trying to go for the minimalistic look of the '67 camaro interior with only two large gauges... but IMO it looks way to futuristic and not especially practical. I don't want to be looking down at the center console to check my fuel or water temp.. taking your eyes that far off the road would be scary. I also think the general design of the thin rectangular analog gauges in the center console is just for appearance. A guage with a sweep that small is practically useless. The good thing is it will most likely come with HUD... so it won't really matter.... I love the HUD on my GTP... it's one of my favourite things about the car.

Just my .02

Acceld Z

Amen. They went after the Mustang interior and missed badly.

Cruz'N Bruz'R

BARF!

You guys can have it, I'll be in the Challenger line.

George

Yeah, can't say as I like it too much myself.

johnyIROC

Keep in mind... this is just the concept version. If they make it the production version should be more practical and hopefully not as bloated... I really do like the overall package and if they aren't coming out until 2009 I could be in the market for one.... the only major problem is anyone who is in the market for one of those would probably step up to the new vette because it is just unreal.

George

If I was going to spend $40K or so on a car I'd just build one of these. Plain aluminum interior and a few guages is all that's needed..lol

We already have 1 barely streetable car... the new camaro is supposed to have displacement on demand and be able to pull 30MPG HWY.. but yeah if you are looking only for all out performance this would probably not be the right car.

Acceld Z

You'd better get used to standing in line waiting for that Challenger. If it's like anything else they build, it'll be taking extended leaves of absence from drivability at the dealership

That and it will require NASA engineers to modify.

George

That's the problem with all of them now - no user servicable parts inside.

I'd rather just have a decent truck for a daily and some kind of race car or at least an older non-emissions car to have fun with.

(BR)G-Machine

I bet you with the same engine, or even any EFI small block that the Shelby could pull great highway milage. Cuts through the wind

Cruz'N Bruz'R

Maybe, but I think you got the worst possible problem vehicle that they could put out. I beat the crap out of mine, and no problem so far.

Maybe it's because I really haven't touched it yet

Acceld Z

You mean other than the balljoints and transmission not being able to move the truck after a sitting for a few days

I beat on my truck and it broke. All the ****ing time.

My wife beat on it too, just in a different way.

I was referring more to the DCX service departments. They're terrible and getting worse. I wouldn't even want to try to get a Challenger serviced. They'd **** it up in all kinds of ways. You'd bring it in for an oil change and leave with a ECM flash that kills 40hp because some shmuck in Phoenix reported a little bit of "ping".

D's89IROCZ

Just to toss in , I would be affraid to buy anythngi new from Dodge , we know a guy that has the new magnum that has been more in the service shop than on the road . All electrical stuff too.

hehe, thanks for reminding me, i forgot about the balljoints.

Acceld Z

My Dakota R/T had started having weird electronic problems about a month before we got rid of it. It was the nail in the coffin.

DCX takes a well engineered structure and drapes garbage over it. It's a good thing they have old Benz stuff to start with.

D's89IROCZ

AKKKKK I worked with a guy ...same truck ...same thing . . They really have no clue abotu fuel managment aswell. They have the worst milage around . My unlce sold his Dodge because of it ( and he ain;t hurtin for cash and has owned all kinds of sports cars)


...sorry to drift off of topic

Hylton

Uhhhh - that wouldn't happen to be the truck that Dave is driving around, is it?

Acceld Z

No, Dave picked his up after I got mine.

Dave's R/T doesn't do anyhting really weird other than chew tires off of both ends of the truck. He's responsible for one end though

Cruz'N Bruz'R

Yeah, I'm guilty of that, but those Kumho's put up such a good fight, I bought 4 more.

And the truck sucks back the gas, but's it's quicker than either of my thirdgen's were when i got them.

And if I remember correctly, I mentioned the R/T's first, but you always loved the Lightnings. So there.

And now, I guess I'll have to go get me a turbo buick of the GN type to keep with our tradition.
