Road and Track: July '08 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So Road & Track did a spot on the Camaro...in fact...it may even be on the cover, I haven't checked yet, but here are two images that were photochopped. You can see the SS emblems and the Camaro has been cleaned up quite a bit. Anyway here's the link: Camaro

I like the dual-dual exhaust...it looks really good on the new Camaro. I'm sure that this will be a possibility with the aftermarket. Maybe if SLP gets involved they'll make a true dual version of the Loudmouth cat-back for the new Camaro!

I wish Road & Track would have gone one step further and photoshopped the concept headlights (or something close) onto the car. Oh well, but what do you guys think of R&T's interpretation??

Forgive me if this is a repost!!!

Awesome pics! I haven't seen these before. Someone needs photochop some headlights on there.

MerF · 05-21-2008, 06:57 PM

Very clean chops. Was the article worth reading?

Eh...I skimmed it...it's stuff we've heard before. I don't like their take on the trim levels...but whatever. My personal opinion is just have this:

Camaro
Camaro SS
Camaro Z28

None of this LS and LT crap. But whatever

Eh, just skim it...

MerF · 05-21-2008, 07:12 PM

I'm personally not ruling out the LT and LS thing for the V6 models, and RS/SS/Z28 for the V8 models. I would find that very acceptable trim names for the times...especially with the liklihood of 2 V6 models.

Sphinx002 · 05-21-2008, 07:50 PM

LS and LT might be trim levels when ordering, but repeat after me....They will NOT be Camaro models. Period. There is ZERO chance that Scott, or any one involved in the Camaro would use LS and LT as actually model names. We have RS, Z28 and SS. Pick a trim/option package after that.

ihc95 · 05-21-2008, 08:59 PM

Finally, a nice photoshop. Looks great with the quad exaust. Im not sure about the SS emblems on the grill and trunk. But I love the big rims!

Camaro Lives On · 05-21-2008, 10:12 PM

That little SS on the grill accents those pre-pro lights, and makes them look decent. The quad pipes look SWEET!!

First off, no one is saying that it will be one way or another, I merely said that I'd hate if that were to happen. Secondly...NO ONE is questioning whether or not 'Z28' and 'SS' will be models, however, 'RS' has not been confirmed nor implied...so, 'RS' is just at speculation level...

yeah, i love the look of that exhaust too. Those wheels, I believe, haven't been altered by photoshop. They are the wheels that were being tested on the 'Ring.'

As far as R&T (or Car & Driver or Motor Trend) is concerned: I could give a rat's ass what they think. These idiots only care about foreign cars or ad revenue, not some "lowly GM car". I definetly don't thing the rear of the car would have a Chevy Bowtie AND a SS badge, that looks stupid. Just like the past, it would be one or the other, not both. I guess they couldn't pay someone enough for decent 'chops, cuz it should have had a production-look headlamp. Have I slammed R&T enough yet???

are those the real.......

Mrbobcat · 05-22-2008, 12:57 AM

Did anyone notice the V8 model is supposed to be mid to upper 30s in the article? I thought upper 20s for the 400hp engine was too good to be true. I'm definitely not going to pay mid-to-upper 20s for a V6, I'd rather get the genesis coupe with the 310hp V6 for under 25g if that was the case...

I don't know about 2 V6's. Maybe a turbo 4 and a DI V6. But, two 6's? MMmmmmm....I'm going to have to say that wouldn't work.

Mid to upper 30's for a V8....I don't think so. The Camaro would flop before it hit the streets. TRUST ME.....THAT ARTICLE IS WRONG>
