HARD TOP RETRACTABLE CONVERTIBLE ALA CADDY XLR

92cam · 03-31-2008, 01:05 PM

What I would like to see is a tail spoiler that is consistent with all of the other Camaro Generations. Please no big ridiculous airplane wings! This will just ruin the looks of this beautiful iteration of the 5th Generation Camaro to me. Keep it simple like it has always been. From 67' to 02', there has been (except 91'-92' with the Z28 wing spoiler) a nice tail spoiler. Thank you for giving me the chance to put in my little 2 cents worth.

4.10 gears? not likely
the main thing i hate is the gauges on the console, so i'm screwed there, that's not changing.

damn SEAT COOLERS to save us MPG and a damn input jack

Sledster · 03-31-2008, 01:55 PM

There absolutely MUST be an SS option!
An RS/SS with hideaway headlights would also be sweet.

First off Garfin, thanks for offering to take our fan mail to this function, please take plenty of pics (which I know that you will.

My request (as I just opened up this forum directly from my e-mail) and I dont if it has been mentioned already, but please ask about "slip differential". I rea an article on the new G8 and the reporter did say that the SD in the that car is excellent, and that our new Camaro will pretty much work off the same platform. But I hope that it is modified for the frame/axle (not to be used interchangeably) for great handling.

Silverado · 03-31-2008, 02:35 PM

I didn't see it mentioned, but I could have easily missed it....

Can the taillamps keep that "afterburner" look? It would be great for the daytime running lamps and the taillamps to use the afterburner portion, then when the brakes are applied to have the whole thing light up. Refer to the pic I attached in case I'm not explaining it right.

Also, the reverse lights...with the way they are in the bumper on the pre-production models we've seen, all I see is a higher repair cost in the event of a slight bumper impact. If the reverse lights can be put lower in the diffuser (esp. the diffuser shown on the accessories thread), then I think the chances of the reverse lights being broken during a minor impact are greatly reduced (plus, they will look better). And, cost to repair is one thing the insurance companies look at when determining rates for a vehicle. So, keeping things like that "protected" helps keep insurance down.

smokn' · 03-31-2008, 02:45 PM

i'm sure a lot of this has probably been said, but let me stress my $.02. PLEASE give us T-tops. For those of us that hate verts but love the wind through their hair, this is a feature that will sell the car. Give it true duels. Make the ss at least as fast a the Goat, if not faster. Let it smoke the cobra on pure engine, no FI. let us buy the FI afterwards so we can obliterate everything on the road. Direct injection would be nice, in fact, why not a gen v engine? maybe just dreaming. as said before, please keep it affordable! thanx

Scotsman · 03-31-2008, 02:59 PM

I think this is probably one of the most important but least thought of questions in the minds of prospective 5thgen owners that should be addressed; Will powertrains be "flex-fuel" or not? This is crucial to us being able to wheel around in our 5th-gens in years to come. I'm sure they will be but there's been little next to no mention, plus it's a production performance car, so this could be a feather in the Camaro's proverbial "hat".

Exterior
*Ok I'm pretty sure im not the first to mention this but please give us t-tops.
*Stripes and t-tops like Picture below.

Engine
Ok every camaro fan likes big power so make a 500+++ hp top of the line engine.
OH YEAH MAKE IT FASTER THAN THE MUSTANG

Pricing
Make it about the same price as the mustang.

Camaro Curtis · 03-31-2008, 05:44 PM

-Relocate the reverse lamps to somewhere other than the middle of the bumper. I suggest spliting or using part of the two inner rear brake lights.

-Provide white face guages standard with the anodized metal look of the copue and convertible concepts as part of an appearance option.

-Make the shifter for the manual models resemble a piece of art like the concept, or a solid piece of brushed aluminum.

-Please make the seats look and feel as close as possible to the look and quality of the concepts, particularly the accent stitching.

-Allow the aftermarket community to continue making accesssoies for this beatutiful car.

-Please fix the ugly bulge in the interior console. Make it easy for someone to install an aftermarked stereo option without haveing to cut up the dash.

-Finally, Thanks for bringing back the Camaro and for listening to us consumers.

Peet · 03-31-2008, 05:55 PM

Two things will make the Camaro complete for me....
1) A Z/28 model, or option.
1A) I see others suggesting RS/SS versions, which would also be great!
2) Pace Car!
