Haha im getting the ATX...it will be very nice i think lol...It would be nice if the people that knew could give discrete ques like a single smiley face or something to that extent...it doesnt seem to hard to leave a discrete clue, or even forward it though someone else...Anyways its nice to be on...

Wecome to the site, Kyle2k

my backround is italian and my cousin is also full blooded italian
hes a senior member i doubt "they" would distrust him what i've said are olny concrete details i don't see as a point to getting hopes up and posting

i do believe that the ls3 is a pretty important detail if anyone has driven the the new c6 vette go take a drive its much smoother then the ls2 and much more linear...

it makes sense for the ls3 to be the v8 in the camaro for example in previous camaros about one to two years after an engine update in a corvette the engine was base in the camaro...lt1, ls1 anyone? and the ls3 was put into the vette 2006-07 and the camaro is coming out 2009-10

I guess it is somewhat possible to believe...for some reason ( nothing against you) I can't believe it though, the G8's l76 after quick online pricing is almost $1.5k less in price...I don't know maybe the interior won't match the quality of the G8 but it might be hard to keep it under 30k for the Camaro...Plus the fact you just mentioned some new Gen V engine...I don't know...when is the production model supposed to debut, is it going to be in New York?

CaptianSam · 02-25-2008, 06:16 PM

it wasnt in toronto this week and i was at the show

*GTAHVIT* · 02-25-2008, 06:18 PM

Man, with just a little browsing I found some serious HiPo stuff for the LS3.

Hmmm All I can say is Eaton MP122...

Damnit, I just have to believe that there will be a supercharged version of the Camaro. I don't see how they can put a blown engine in the CTS-V and not in the Camaro. I'm repeating myself, I know.

But a luxury Sports Sedan should not have more power than a pure Sports Coupe.

Am I alone on this one???

CaptianSam · 02-25-2008, 06:24 PM

honestly i think im going to have to disagree with you on this...there is a sports sedan market ... and also because the v is a growing tradition in the SCCA and because the older generation wants cadillacs... but midlife crisis...sports cars but needs a sedan... hello cts-v... having a supercharged camaro would probably bring the price up... attract more cops... insurance up and it would then be in corvette territory... this might happen when the c7 vette comes out...because CAFE standards and technical global emission standards (something like that)...gm wants to make brand more global but cant because of certian vehicles mainly the corvette ... so there are a couple different options... corvette becoming its own brand or being discontinued to name a few (info from motortrend) would allow global brand chevrolet

Kyle2k · 02-25-2008, 06:26 PM

Can someone tell me when the production model/w.e will debut? Is it going to be NYIAS or later?

See my previous post in a different thread for my rebuttal...

And the "PHOOEY" and "NAH" applies to you also....

Kyle2k · 02-25-2008, 06:46 PM

CaptianSam · 02-25-2008, 06:50 PM

Kyle2k · 02-25-2008, 06:58 PM

To be honest though, I wasn't impressed, but I have to say it has grown on me so much that I just can't comprehend how I didn't like it in the first place...now I'm obsessed with it...everytime I get infront of the computer I check this forum lol.

CaptianSam · 02-25-2008, 07:06 PM

exactly what heppened to me my dad is a bit of a mopar guy he bought himself a viper and my brother a charger and when the lease is up on the 350z he wants to get me a challenger srt8... but i told him to get me a camaro and now hes more into "muscle" cars not just mopar... pretty soon ill get him to trade that viper for the new zr-1 lol dreams... and he loves the new camaro...CANT WAIT... i was going to consider another 350z if the camaro didnt get the ls3 or possibly the g8 but i already have my name on the list and im number 23 at the dealership
