So what does it weight 4200-4300lbs now? No thanks

 

[Pardus]

And at a cost of $23k to $35k based on model, still gets a unimpressive 17mpg.

Where are you 2 getting these figures because they aren't in the article

It's a Camaro. It's going to be a giant pile of shit under a nice looking body.

Those LS engines by Chevy are real garbage.........

Here you go.

Guys, what are you complaining about??

17 mpg for 312 horsepower is pretty damn good.. and that's all city. It gets almost 30 on the highway so for most people it will be somewhere in between.

And a 300+ horsepower car for under $25K?! there will always be haters I guess.

And you base that off of what, prior Camaros which have nothing in common with this one?

 

[DaTT]

Too plain looking. Most of GM's lineup is awfully boring. Even the vette got boring after a while.

Great.. another guy complaining before they have even driven the car.

Here you go.

city mpg. no shit sherlock - every 6cyl is going to get that (and SS = V8).

some people need to learn a goddamn thing or two about cars before opening their mouths

or how epic the LSx is. Any car guy knowing anything loves that (family of) engine.

$23k for 300hp and 17 city/28 highway is not a bad deal. I fail to see what point you are trying to make.

What??? It has the same chassis as the G8. It has an LS3 engine. Limited Slip Diff. Nice suspension.

I always thought the opposite, great mechanicals underneath, but a subjective catfish body you either love or hate.

I have to admit that I like the exterior styling of the new Camaro. Not a fan of that WALL-E gauge cluster though.

Might have to take one on a test drive one of these days.

I took an SS out for a spin about a year ago. It was a fun car. People here gripe about how it's heavy but to be honest I'd just be looking for something that I enjoy driving and it seemed like it would fit the bill. Finances changed though so I didn't follow through on buying a car but I wouldn't mind having one in my garage if I had the chance.

 

[LTC8K6]

Mustang 3.7L gets 19 in the city and is a quicker car...

Just sayin'...

 

[IcePickFreak]

Yeah Camaro is on the Zeta platform, but a bit updated from the G8/Holden Commodore Zeta. It's considered a great platform by pretty much everyone who has reviewed it. The problem is it was designed for sedans, which is why the Camaro is a pig compared to the new Mustang. They can only change so much on it to save weight before they just have to move to a new chassis design.

 

[Tristicus]

Looks better than the standard Camaro IMO....but red interior looks ugly as shit on the old Chevys, can't imagine it would look any better here...

 

[Jdawg84]

I don't understand why anyone would buy a pig of a car like this? I believe the V6 Camaro weighs 3700lbs and the SS weighs close to 3900lbs. Why would you want a car with such weight? The Vette doesn't have this issue and comes in at a beautiful 3200lbs.

New mustang is sexier, lighter and faster anyway

i did not like the gauge cluster at all... it was well.. a cluster(fuck). i instantly felt claustrophobic in the driver's seat, too. so no camaro for me. ended up with a genesis coupe

the exterior is complete win. interior i didn't spend much time with since i knew the car wasn't for me once i sat in it. i'm not much of a dash stroker, but even i found the base model to be pretty cheap looking. perhaps the other trims (LT/SS) have great improvements. the dealership i was at only had 1 base model (LS) and the rest SS models (which were out of my price range, so i didn't bother looking at them).

because the vette seats 2 and the camaro seats 4? because it looks good and still goes resonably fast? because there are 10000000000000 mustangs on the road? because 99% of people aren't going to come near the handling limits at all?

just a few reasons.

Man soft top looks so damn ugly. and they are still sticking the the ugly chrome around the tail lights.

Fanboi :biggrin:

Only one would take a slower car that costs more.
