I love it, but i would really love the 57 olds 88 behind it. Beautiful cars that you dont see that often.

I been driving a Blazer for 18 years ,its my daily driver and love it ,but i would much rather have the new one look like my Camaro then my old Blazer . I will be in line for the Blazer when sales start. I am sure many people on both sides will have there panties in a twist and i look forward to the stupid talk that will come from it . Only thing i'm thinking about is what color i will get.

Been reading this thread for days now and my side hurts from laughing so much. I am an old fart that has been thru the 60's muscle car days and some things just don't change.

There were the same arguments going on then about which car had the better looks, power and handling. Then it was off to the streets to prove your point, ahhhh...... the good old days.

Now days, the rants on what's best is done mostly on the keyboard where people can hide. Some of the rants are really quite amusing but, they get the responses they need to keep it going.

Now a little of my rant. Being an old muscle head car guy that has gone thru the classic car journey, I have come full circle to embrace the new tech. I wanted the best tech while getting the muscle I needed to feed my desire for power. I got everything I needed with this modded Z/28 and can't really see any need for more.

You can talk about the styling of cars till the cows come home but, in the end it's all subjective. Power and handling is more objective and can be tested.

So, to that end I hereby claim I have the best Camaro Z/28.

You have a good eye. The owner of that car has a buddy with the exact car. But its a Nascar version of some sort it says on the info board. Hi po motor...different rims and a great stance. Ill google the car for better info...its also autographed by a famous driver that I don't recall If I see it I will pm you some pics..the car is ultra rare. I'm thinking Richard Petty.

And more importantly 5th Gen forum has rontammy0 ,that alone is worth the price of admission.

Yeah, but that '19 SS refresh is pretty nasty. The frontend now looks like it belongs on a crossover or truck. GM could have done much better than that.

They all can't look as perfect as a 70 RS/SS, i think the refresh will go over just fine once they hit the streets . Never will there be a Camaro that pleases every fan so if people don't like them oh well there is always Mustang , and they are very popular i hear .

It probably has the J-2, which was 3x 2 barrel carbs. My father restored Oldsmobile’s and our 1955 Super 88 Holiday 2dr hardtop was a National award winner.

Ya maybe...it had the breather going diagonally across the intake.

Replacement mag shocks are already expensive.

I see all this newer tech ending up just like modern Corvettes, where the only replacement parts you'll find are from a junkyard. So many electronic pieces are obsolete for 1997-2000; TPMS, EBCM, SWPS, etc are stupid expensive if you can find them

Look closer though. They placed the bowtie emblem closer to the grill area not down below on the bumper. The front end on the Blazer actually looks better than what they did to the Camaro.

You know, perhaps somebody screwed up at GM? They accidentally put the Blazer front end on the Camaro and the Camaro front end on the Blazer. lol!
