I love how Dragoneye has the PMS color chart bookmarked.

EDIT: I know it has nothing to do with feminine PMS, before anyone says anything.

We've been trying!

I've actually bookmarked this page! So I can come back at the end of this year and "nyeh-nyeh-nyeh" to my heart's content - so be prepared.

See?

Damnit you beat me to the book mark.

That chart was used to grab the right blue for the Camaro5 shirts. But, that chart turned out to be one heck of a tool and I've got it saved too!

NOW...I WANT IN ON THIS TOO!!!!

Kevin....naw.....hold up.....I'll just wait like the others to say I told you so as well...

Dodge has the Challenger SRT that has been kicking butt since it came out, and now the special edition Challenger Hurst supercharged edition comming out at SEMA 2008. GM/Chevrolet has not even delivered one new Camaro yet. The Z28 program has been "Canceled" acording to Camaro brand manager. Once again we are behind the eight ball! I have had two or three posts removed my the moderator due to my posts regarding the Z28 being dead. I have owned over thirty Camaro's in my life and would like nothing more than to see a new Camaro named Z/28 or 1LE or ZL1 as long as the power is there to back it up! For the fist time in my life I may have to switch sides and buy a Z06 Corvette because GM has dropped the ball on the Camaro! I have never been a huge Corvette fan but it looks like I need a Corvette to play with the big boys. They pony wars were Mustang VS Camaro, Challenger, Firebird RIP. "Not Corvette". Great job Chevrolet on having a car that will compete with the big dogs!

why not just buy a camaro and put a blower on yourself? doesnt any one out there know how to MAKE their own z28? all it is is a damn superchager on the motor we are getting(minus some little mods). just buy a camaro put a pro charger or vortech on it and have more HP to the wheels than we would have gotten from the factory any ways. man stop crying about the z28. we havent even gotta a camaro yet.

Well when you're the manufacturer of an automobile that is trying to 1. Make a profit. 2. Satisfy the shareholders. and 3. Give the people what they want and still satisfy both 1 & 2, you do the best you can. What good is building the smack daddy of them all with mega HP if nobody can afford the gas to go in them? Why do you think the GT 500 IS at MSRP? Right now style for style, dollar for dollar, the Camaro will (is) the best car out there. It's cool, georgeous, a knockout with all of the HP I or any everyday driver would want. If the Mustang or Challenger want to beat me in a race let them. Because nowadays the new finish line is at the gas pump!!!

They want it to be official. Which is understandable. But there's more to a Z/28 than a supercharger. And little mods? The beauty of a factory made car like that is the manufacturer makes the chassis a more competent package made to handle that power. The car will handle competently, ride competently without being jarring. The manufacturer makes the total package. An aftermarket job will just be a SS with 550hp and that will make it hard to handle.

It isnt at the gas pumps. If you cant aff

ord gas for an SS srt8 or gt500 then it is not the car for you. Go for the v6 then

call the dealer and say hey ill buy the gt500 for 42 right now. See how they sell it to u in a heart beat.

MajorTom · 09-03-2008, 01:38 PM

I once posted an ad about the GT500 for a local dealership.

It showed 2 GT500s and next to them it said "GT500!!!" and very clearly said "MSRP 42,999. Your price 54,999 You save -12,000" Ridiculous.

My local dealer has them all listed for 47-48k. Maybe they're well optioned I dunno. Or maybe you can negotiate them for cheaper.
