I'm as big of a Camaro fan as anybody else out there. I have two 69s, a 71, and a 73. I've owned at least one Camaro at all times since I bought my 74 Z/28 when I was 16. I also own a 71 Corvette and an 07 2500 4WD Duramax, and I've owned 5 other Chevy or GMC trucks. I've never owned a Chrysler product, but every time new info comes out on the Camaro that I've been patiently waiting for for years, I'm more tempted to wander across the street and put in my order for a Challenger. When are we going to hear something about the new Camaro that meets or exceeds our expectations?

Jamey, I can understand your frustrations, I'm a little frustrated by some things too if you've seen my posts. That being said, if you hadn't seen the concept first, and many people still haven't believe it or not, would you not think it was hot and harkend back to the 69 without looking "retro"? I have to remind myself about that alot as well, but believe me, I'd like to have my expectations exceeded also, especially since somewhere I read a quote that Ed Welborne said the production version was "even better" than the concept. I'm not getting that same feeling so far, but I still like most of what I see so far. We haven't seen the front clip yet, so that could make or break it for many of us. As far as the Challenger, I saw a spy pic of the production version on autoblog.com yesterday and the wheels aren't as nice as the concept, and they have some tacky, cheap looking headlight surrounds now. Remember, other than some teaser shots from Dodge, we haven't seen the real mcCoy there either. I think it will be unveiled next week at the Detroit auto show. Anyway, as Scott says....Keep the Faith!
