Who's going to wait for the SS

[JeepinMatt]

The first time I was driving my dad's '81 Vette back from the dealership where it was for service, I got the tail out. Didn't mean to do it either. It had some bald, crap tires on it (who ever heard of Turbostar??) and I hit a slick patch right after it rained when I was going around a corner. I was barely even on the gas, I'm by no means a crazy driver (on public roads) but I broke the tail end loose quite a good amount. Put it nearly sideways and recovered. I remember when I got home (my dad was driving in front of me) my plan was to get out and run upstairs before my dad could kill me. Instead, when he got out he yelled down the driveway how cool that was and what a great recovery it was

I did something like that in my bronco way back when. Was raining and I was having fun being a bad ass and spinning the tires in the water (only in the rain). I got the rear end out and held it through a 4 lane each way main street in town. Got several cheers out windows (It was like 10PM at night). I was thinking I was gonna spin out and hit some cars parked along the side. Heart was pounding, and my fear immediately turned to pride when I heard people yelling things along the line of "AWESOME!" "Sweet!" and the occasional "STUPID KID!"

Right now, it's Camaro in dealers at the end of 08/beginning of 09. The vert a year later. Where does the hi-po V8's come into play here? Between the end of production of the V6's and the verts? And how do we know this for fact??? That's all I'm asking. It really doesn't make a differenct to me since I won't be able to get mine until about late 09 anyway.....but for everyone elses knowledge......

I know that. I was..."adding" to your rebuttle I don't know that there has been ANY evidence that GM will pop out a special Hi-Po Camaro anytime soon. I mean, I know we all expect it, but...They haven't even uttered the words Z28, or SS. Execpt to say IF we produce them - followed by some scripted distractor answer.

^Yeah...it sucks. I wish they'd say Z28, SS, something.

and sorry...I was kind of replying to two people there. Was just trying to be inquisitive.

As far as I am concerned, there is no other Camaro! It is the SS or nothing!

[Mindz]

Say 3whiterag, what's the top engine going you're producing in your place of business? (Notice I didn't ask what it's going in.) =P

thanks for all the advice on my first future v8,i'm glad to have found this page,but in a way i'm now confused....after seeing all the photoshopped camaro's...i dont know what color now :(..i'm into dark coloes,but wow,they all look great..even the pink one :P

[stevenm357]

Navy... why not go "navy blue" lol. it's hard to tell what the factory will actually offer. I'm really thinkin about the bumblebee look but who knows i'll decide once i see all of them in person.

[Mr. Wyndham]

I'm 90% set on silver...but like steve says, as great as the photoshops are, I have to wait to see them for myself.

[JeepinMatt]

Dark blue for me. I'm not sure about stripes, white if I get em, but leaning towards not. Silver looks great, but black comes in 2nd place for me

[willisit]

I have the same colour problem - but will wait and see what's offered before I really decide. I like black and my Monaro looks mean in black, but a dark grey might be really nice (to try not to hide the lines so much).

I might wait for a top-line model. Depends what Chevy decide us Europeans deserve. If not, I'll be importing a left-hooker.

[Navy Blue]

i'm hoping they have a real good maybe metallic navy blue,but then again i like wild colors,i might get anything (colorwise) and get a nice chameleon color combo..thems are nice

It think I will revise my answer. I won't wait for the SS specifically, but rather the best engine option.

If they do like they did with the 4th gen Camaros and both the Z28 and SS have the same engine but "different" ratings, then I will be inclined to go with the cheaper of the two.

Basically I want an LS3....not the L76 or any other "lesser" V8 they might put in it.
