What's most important about the Camaro to you? v2.0 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*Mr. Wyndham* · 01-07-2009, 07:31 PM

Let's try this again.
No "everything" choice, that made it unfun.

We're all here because we love the car. I think that's a given. But what's your favorite part? What's the 10 out of 10 among lots of 9.9s?

And discuss, of course.

Dragoneye,
Is there supposed to be a poll?

*Camaro_Corvette* · 01-07-2009, 07:35 PM

Ditto on the poll>

playhard67 · 01-07-2009, 07:37 PM

mine is the resemblance to the first gen Camaro. Have always loved them, own a '67 RS, and am excited as he#$ that a new version with modern conveniences is being built

POWERFREAK · 01-07-2009, 07:38 PM

the most important thing will be my key in the ignition

Goblue · 01-07-2009, 07:40 PM

Always wanted a 1st gen and could never afford it, so this new one will suit me just fine for now.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 01-07-2009, 07:40 PM

Takes a minute to make the poll. (And I reworked it a bit to be more encompassing.)

I voted for The overall performance. You can't find a combination of handling/acceleration/braking like this (in this pricepoint) anywhere.

Rodrunner · 01-07-2009, 07:48 PM

So far it's unanimous for my choice, the exterior design! The engine/power was a VERY close second, but first and foremost I have to like the overall exterior appearance. Like I said in the previous poll, otherwise I'd be looking for a Challenger.

MerF · 01-07-2009, 07:48 PM

I looked at this for a moment, but not too long.

The Engine/Power: I could get a G8 and be pretty darn close.

The Suspension/Handling: There's a myriad of cars available that the Camaro will compare to, or be ousted by altogether in this category.

The IRS/RWD: A factor that makes the Camaro special compared to others in it's segment, but not the dealmaker.

The Performance: As great as the Camaro will be it is not alone in the performance sector.

The Value (in terms of price for what you get): This was almost my decision, and as it stands is a close second.

The Exterior Design (including colors and lights): It's beautiful, a close third.

The Interior Design (Including Ambient Lighting/Stereo/etc): Again, a thing of beauty but not what wins me over in this poll.

The Heritage: Without a doubt. We are all here...hell the Camaro is REBORN because of our lust for the return of the nameplate. The reasons I want this car include everything above, and if I weren't a Camaro enthusiast I would like to think I would still not be able to deny the beauty of the 5th gen....but it's because I want to own another Camaro because of what it means to me (and so many others here) that I am so excited.

Sorry Dragon……

……but I’m going to have to stick with everything… It’s the whole package that makes a “Legend”… If it was just one or two things then I would be a mustang owner…

Mr Twisty · 01-07-2009, 07:54 PM

Heritage for me...And chicks dig it.

Inspector 17 · 01-07-2009, 07:56 PM

^ Definitely the chicks.

As I stated in the previous version of this thread, it's the heritage and the history that I have with the Camaro.

in my opinion, to be successful, it needs just about all the things on that list. but these are probably the biggest reasons for my decision.
