Like Loader, I'd like it better if it looked more like a first gen.



Neato! How much do you think they get for a basic turn-key?

Wow, that retro-rides link was cool. I may have to look into one of those 2-3 yrs from now!

I just turned 31 but it feels like I've been waiting 50 years for my new precious to come on to the market.

Lens angles, lighting, there are so many things impacting the pictures. I think the closet would be the shots from Corey. My wife really likes that car!

I was trying to be funny or sarcastic (I fail at both). Although I just sunk 3-grand into my truck, I still have some set aside.

Yes, that Camaro is nuts to drive. 4,000 stall, wheels-up on every launch. 1.49 60-foots. 10-point cage all custom-built. Engine was built for Nitrous, though I bought all the parts and never put it in (anyone need $1,000 worth of Nitrous stuff?). Chrome-moly tubular K frame, subframe connectors, a-arms, QA-1 adjustable shocks an springs, Airlift air springs, forged aluminum panhard bar, engine built by ARE. The list just goes on for over $20,000 worth of work in addition to the purchase price! But, things change. The SS was sacrificed for my next toy. Will that be a new Camaro? Stay tuned!

I'll be 30 at the end of Dec. so hopefully I'll be able to put in an order for a Z/28 near my birthday. I plan to start with the base V8 and keep it for 2-3 years. Then try to find a low mile top of the line SS on a lot and trade in the Z/28 for it.

34
yes, we will be buying one
I drive trains and she is an accounting assistant
we may exercise a lease option... especially if a certain GM person informs us of some upgrades that will happen in year 2 and 3 of the new Camaro's production

26 and will wait about a year after release. I'm a truck driver.

[DoktaDivah]

I'm 32, planning to buy myself a graduation present that makes my future students cry. I'll wait a year after release, though. Base V8 for me, convertible. As for the job to pay for it, I'm a professor-to-be and an instructional technology consultant.

I inherited my Mom's 81 when I was 18. Ahhh, love. I haven't been the same since I lost her. It's about time I become whole again. - DD

[Cyberstyx]

I 'll be mid 32 when the car is released in the US.

I am a Management & Information Systems (aka Pc-dood) assistant manager for Casino Loutraki in Greece, now starting a 2nd job too in my home town (paintball field & RC Car racing course), I get some nice income from a bank savings account, plus my wife works too at her own hair saloon. Recently married and even more recenlty a dad with a gorgeous looking daughter \o/

My father was one of the few ppl in Greece to get a big bad ass Pontiac back in the 80s, when I was still a kid (it was a huge green sport coupe, and from some wiki-searching it was either a 2nd Gen. Tempest or a Custom S - can't find profile pics for those cars).

That frigin' movie, Tranformers, started it all, it was like "deja-vu". I 'll do everything in my power to get the new Camaro now. The car is gonna be available in Europe too, and I certainly hope we won't just get the smallest engine (if that even makes it to production).

For me, it 's all Bumblebee looks - my current car is yellow too. As for the engine, the bigger the better, as long as it sort-of-matches the US price and doesn't require a gas stop every 2-3 days lol. So far it seems Chevy prices in Greece "matches" those of the US in "exact numbers" only, not in currency (ie the like the $15K = EURO15K formula). It 's expensivier, but not that much.

Wife will biatch about it for sure, but I bet if I take her to see it at a dealer and she gets in she will go along She loves its pics and videos as it is now.

I so much hope I manage to get it...

[Mr. Wyndham]

Wow! Even Greece wants the Camaro!!! Tell that to anybody who says "nobody likes the car". HA!

Welcome to the boards, Cyberstyx!! We're very glad to have you here!

[2kwik]

22 on the 18th of this month. I'm more than likely going to wait and buy one a few months after they come out, just to make sure everything checks out.

[lil_red_v6]

if i dont have a kid by the time they come out i might grab 1

[80Zedder]

either get rid of my truck and get the camaro then i would have to sell my rust free highly modified 80Z then buy a winter beater.

Nah i love my Silverado too much to get rid of it for a car i can only/would only drive for 6 months of the year and still make monthly payments on it and full insurance while it sits in my garage.

I do love the car though!

You get to help build our Camaros. And seeing them all day long, maybe you wouldn't want to drive one home that night.

[80Zedder]

i think your on the right path there. Seeing them for 8 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week all year. Then dealing with the problems with them on the line can be a PITA. It wears off on you. Not saying i wont be taking one home here and there. Having immediate family high up on the GM food chain has it's perks and i already have my name in several times for the nightrider program.

Maybe i will wait till my lease is up with my truck and decide, maybe i will pick up a hemi challanger as i have always wanted one, i really dont know. or maybe i will wait 2 years to get one
