hey, its all a matter of opinion, but you're original claims were false and that's all i wanted to point out (except for the interior part, the new Camaro should fix that)

So the fact that the Stealth has 2x the traction is false? Right...you're saying 2 wheels are better than 4.

the stealth needed awd because it was the only way to get a front wheel drive sedan with 2 of its doors chopped off to power the rear wheels. it needed 320 hp because it was a fat overweight piece of crap.

Wow, looks nice. The camaro has potential, if GM exploits it and doesn't turn it into a last generation eclipse.

If it runs as good as a 300/Charger does with the "overhyped" hemi, we should all be happy. If they can get the weight down to 3500 Lbs, it will be great. And in what way is the hemi a POS? It's not a "real" hemi, but who cares? It's still a great engine.

if i'm not mistaken, it's planned to have a 6speed MT along with the 6.1L V8:D


Well, I'll pass on the MT, but the 6.1 will be fine. There should be a 6 speed AT by then, and that will do..just dandy. Especially if it shifts like my old TA did. Under two-thirds throttle, a little firmer than stock, above that and it's snap your neck time. It pays to have friends with buddies in the transmission business...



I couldn't take driving a stick everyday, it's too annoying around town.

More than likely GM is pissed because then people will wonder where the vaporcar is in a few years when it doesn't materialize.

Ok...I realize that. However, after just going to the Cleveland Auto Show this past Sunday and actually seeing the new concept, I happened to come across this thread while doing a search. SO I just put that down. I know half of ATOT gets their panties in a bunch everytime someone reposts or brings a thread back from the dead, but that's what I have to say. Looks like a hunk 'a junk. I'd rather go with the new civic.

That is exactly why you think it's a hunk of junk. You're in a totally different buying demographic. This car isn't aimed at the lemming Jap buyer.
