New Camaro Is Now Officially A Go

As everyone expected the new Camaro has been approved for production.
The car will feature two V8s and a V6. Looks like IRS will also be
part of the equation. 100,000 units per year is the sales target.
Look for it in early 2008.

hopefully it will not have a torque limiter on it like the 2005-2006 does.
Shameful.

That would *almost* put the Jeep Hurricane concept to shame in terms of
mechanical complexity...

I hope I can get the V8 w/o power windows/locks!
But, like everything else, it'll be overoptioned.

Thanks,

What else you want to not see?

I assume no A/C, of course... dont need none o' that Power steering
either...A/C and PS is for pussies!

Maybe they'll have a SEFI delete and you can get it with a big ol'
Rochester.

Lest SOME of you forget why the model was discontinued in the first place..

1. Tone down the 'aggressive' look on the nose.

2. 225 HP V6

3. ALL Convenience options: PW, PL, PM, Rear Defrost

If the 'seccetaries' dont buy it, it will fail AGAIN for the same reason!

The A/C can stay (it's hot down here) and the PS/PB.
Power windows/locks/seats? Delete! Auto lamps? Delete!
Electronic traction? Brake force distribution? Delete!
Air filtration? Auto dimming mirror? OnStar? Delete!
Side impact air bags? Passenger sensing system? Delete!

Give me a stripped '67 Camaro with a modern drivetrain.

Thanks,
Scott

You willing to pay MORE to have them left out? That's the economics of
it. Especially on those.. ONE door assembly.
The seat's a tossup as to cost of option build.

I completely agree. GM should spend 95% of its design effort toward
making the base model competitive with the base Mustang and some of the
sporty foreign models. It's easy to make a car fast but not so easy to
make it desirable to the masses.
