I resent that... I've said this numerous times...but without what you call "the fakes" there would be no muscle cars! V6 Camaros are going to keep our V8 dreams alive...I don't just say that because I drive one...but because there are a lot of guys and girls out there that are proud to drive their Camaro muscle around...even if it's a V6!! It's muscle all the same...just smaller muscles...Just give a little please?

I can't agree with you there...not everyone can afford the top model or has parents that can buy it for them etc, etc. I really don't want to take this off topic, but over the last EIGHT years (yes figure it out) people have this weird sense that because they can afford the best means they can talk down to others when they are truly interested in the same thing. Wealth isn't everything, especially when it has been taken away from half of the country.

Well unless you think she will be ugly, I can't see why you are complaining that a chick might start a conversation with you...

Yep...no matter what displacement, it's still a Camaro and it's the person that loves the f-body. There's NO REASON to look down on a V6'er in any way. YOU might not buy one. BUT, like others have said, w/out the V6's, we WOULDN'T have our V8's. Theres 1000's of enthusiasts out there who can't afford the V8 and get into the V6...just like I did back in 2000. But that doesn't make the car anything less. It's just a more affordable, smaller engine.

Nobody knows for sure (unless it's an official leak from GM or something )... but just make sure to keep checking this site for new news and pics that's what I do a few times a day

It's fun even if we don't get official info though because there's a few insiders on this forum (fbodfather, camero, etc..) that definitely help to deny some crazy rumors sometimes.

It's funny that a few days after you see this we get hit with a barrage of new pics and a glimpse at the SS It's come to the point where I almost expect some new shots or news on a daily basis on this site...

I'm hoping to see more of that SS car!

It does make you kinda crazy waiting of "official" info. Im not even gonna be able to buy the damn car for bout 3 years realistically. But Im sure GM's gonna keep that info under wraps as long as possible. the whole organization has got theyre generic disclaimer " you wont be disappointed", "best in its class". So Im sure we wont get any numbers untill they show off the production model of the car.
