Moose...if No. 2 wasn't an issue. I daresay you'd have one in your garage next to your 2 Camaros?
Okay. Got some BIG pictures. so...sorry, but you all should like 'em.:

EDIT: So that blue is nice, and makes my eyes water because of it's beauty...but I'm just drooling uncontrollably over this "Slate" dark
gray color. It's real close to what's on my Cobalt, and if they offer it (PLEASE OFFER IT GM!!!) it's what I'll get on the Camaro.
Gorgeous color, that just reeks of badass:








A couple more Blues I liked a lot:



Some interior Shots:



Look Closely - 220 mph. you know...just in case. :eek:



That beauty of an LS9 fits perfectly!!! And note the little Skull silouette on the plastic


Here's the rotor design of those gen-6 Eatons:



Agian, sorry for the large pictures. But I thought all might like them right here, as opposed to travelling through tedious links.

Actually, if money wasn't an issue, first I'd enlarge the garage, and next to my '99 SS, I'd add;

- 5th Gen.
- 1969 Yenko
- ZL1
- Baldwin Motion Phase III
- Intimidator SS

I like Corvette's. They're awesome machines.

But I've always had a "soft spot" for the Camaro. My first car was a '75 Camaro, and ever since owning that car, I've been a "Camaro FANATIC"!

Same here. That's a nice looking Corvette and all, but the Camaro still appeals to me much more (besides, I still hate the exposed headlights).

Even if I could afford the 'Vette, I'd rather get a Camaro and another car for the $.

Excellent reasoning by me.


EDIT: Oh, and I posted up those pictures I promised back a page. Definitely worth a look.

BMW uses two turbochargers to get 100hp per liter. 100 hp per liter supercharged is still very respectable. Its sad how few engines get that metric.

Really? Which motor are you refering? The M5 5.0 liter V10 that puts out 502hp? Or maybe you mean the 3.2 liter M3 motor that puts out 333hp. Ahh, you meant the new M3 v8 that's 4.0 liter and produces 420hp. All of those motors achieve over 100hp/liter without the aid of turbo or supercharging. Not bashing here but color me not immpressed that they get 100hp/liter using a supercharger.

3.0L straight 6, 300hp. Oh, and the other ones you mentioned, the hp is there, but absolutely no torque. This makes both hp and torque darn near 100 per liter.

I know this is blashphemy here, but.....I'll sit in it, and if I fit well, I might have to change which car I'm getting.

lol, you've been wanting that color a long time now on the camaro now! I have to agree though...im kinda hoping it shows up on the camaro too....if its doesn't then ill probably be in a dilemma between silver and red.


But that Vette is hot.... i would get it in a heartbeat if I could afford it!

But I think Im still feeling the looks of the Z06 over this vette..... this vette wins performance wise hands down, but the exterior although beautiful... its too busy. The z06 is more simple and has clear lines.

First, let me say, I almost feel sorry for the Viper. I can only imagine how the ZR1 is going to rip it apart in the magazine articles.

The next thing I want to say is, I don't think I would want this car. I like the idea of having a car that I can improve on throughout the ownership of it. There is no doubt in my mind that this car will run mid-to low 11's and 0-60 in about 3.0. And I wouldn't feel right about improving on it because the car is so expensive. And then I would start obsessing about it. Like being afraid of a wreck or a scratch. Eventually, I would stress about it to the point where I wouldn't even take the care out. I know others are different, so to each his own.
