This is a request from Scott Settlemire (Brand Manager for the Camaro at GM) and the World Wide Camaro Club to sign this petition to let the executives know what kind of following the Camaro has. They want this information to prove that killing the f-body will also kill sales of other GM vehicles as many of us have other GM cars. Fill in other cars in the box at the bottom of the signup sheet. Thanks.

dur...can we say dumbass? GM will not keep the camaro going for the reasons i listed in the tech article called "theory of why Gm is killing the f-body" also 20,000 people signing a petition dont mean **** to a gm exc. if you had 20,000 people go and buy camaros then he might change his mind, KEYWORD: might the only "backing" you give GM is your support and that you will buy one used. they dont want that. THEY WANT MONEY! go figure....

Buddman, do you say anything that isn't totally stupid? I have read other posts of yours also, and it doesn't appear that you put much thought into your statements! You might want to think before you post in the future.

The only reason I can think of is because the site is hosted by the Worldwide Camaro Club with request from Camaro Brand Manager Scott Settlemire

a lot of guys do... since it is the better of the two. Me included. Remember, the Z28 died for part of the 70s, but Trans Am has name integrity... it's been around continuously since its introduction.

You're proud that they slapped the Trans-Am name on some of those slow, ugly 70's cars?

I'm glad they took the Z-28 name off. Those car's weren't performance cars.

Didn't we all do this several years ago? Screw GM, **** them and their intentions for SUV's and front wheel drive cars. They don't want to produce cars I want then I'm not going to buy from them. The current Camaro is an abomination anyway, same goes for the Firebird. Buttugly cars in thier purest form.

I wonder how many other people hate drew i have only read a few of his posts today and already he's a narrow minded idiot, save the f body and the new designs look sweet with the exception of sticking the engine under the cowl halfway.

once again i repeat.... NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE SIGN THAT FORM THEY WILL STILL KILL OFF THE CAMARO AND FIREBIRD.......THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM TO KEEP MAKING THEM IS TO SHOW THE EXEC.'S THAT THEY CAN MAKE A PROFIT FROM THE CARS, THAT MEANS THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS IS TO HAVE A WHOLE HELLUFALOT OF PEOPLE GO AND BUY CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS. money speaks louder than words oh yeahi do think about what i write. you are the one who's making stupid comments cause they have their heads in the clouds.....look at the situation from another point of view(i.e. the GM exec's) and put yourself in his position and see what would make you continue making a car that only costs you money
