what was the misinformation I breezed through the article. Are you talking about the price? I would assume they would know what it would be around, or not lol.

Stay on topic please.

pinkcamaro10 · 08-25-2008, 03:24 PM

im not really sure what is off topic, we're talking about the article, it's not like we're talking about ice cream.

I'll have to really represent itself well, IMHO. I'm confident GM won't shoot themselves in the foot though.

Same acceleration? LOL The GT does 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds. That's not the same acceleration. That's 1 second slower, if 6 seconds as advertised.

Sorry the Joe Dirt Comment was from the mullet reference in said article. I was one of them so I lived it.. (redneck with a 78 and doors that would not open).

Anyway it looks like another positive article. I love those 18 Alum IROC style wheels. Looks like a caliper paint kit would be a nice low cost complement to them. Also we see a picture of the Automatic shifter.. drool. Well I have a bad back (disks) so I need auto.

I hate the stereotype of mullets and stupid redneck crap with camaros. Its just dumb, they need to get over it. It is not 1980 anymore.

I'm glad someone saw it the way I did.

Well, if we are going to squable over semantics, I did say close, and if you've even stood next to two cars racing at the track, one second isn't too big a spread. If I remember correctly, GM also stated that they are confident they can get a couple more tenths out of the car before final numbers are released, but I digress.

My second post I think, but you've got to take the pricing with a grain of salt. Motor Trend is about to test drive and write a review about the same prototype V6 and said it will be in the low to mid $20K range. So who's to say what the price will be until we here it from horses (GM's) mouth.

I hope to buy an SS later next year.

Read the last paragraph of the Motor Trend Thread.

"Pictured above is a shot of the V-6 Camaro with its two bogies -- the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Ford Mustang GT, along with shots of the V-8-powered RS model below."

That's got to be a miss print. The shots look like the RS V6. Will the RS/SS be missing the mail slot?

*radz28* · 08-25-2008, 03:49 PM

I think the RS/SS will have the mail slot, and that you're right in noticing their error.

EZ28 · 08-25-2008, 03:50 PM

Very cool. I knew it had to be a miss print.
