Panther: anyone heard about this?
Just ran across a reference to: "Panthers prey on Mustangs" on another site. The suggestion was an announcement was coming about a Panther Camaro.
Anyone know anything? Maybe Z-28 time?

If I remember correctly, back in the day, Panther was one of the names considered before Camaro. I haven't heard anything about a 'Panther Camaro' tho.

Correct, Panther was going to be the original name of the Chevrolet Camaro's answer to the Mustang!
And the rest is history! Thank God they didn't call it the Panther like they were leaning towards! I believe i read (Scott Settlemire) FBodfather had an article to something of this, i will try to find it and post it here! |

Yep, that's part of what I read. The other part was a picture of what looks like a post card showing a Camaro's profile (5th gen) with horses running in the background. Across the top it says "panthers prey on mustangs"
This was supposedly a teaser to an upcoming announcement. But I haven't heard a whisper about this before. So I'm hoping some of our more connected members (fbodfather?) might be able to shed some light on this. Or dispel any rumors.

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good... They've done studies you know... 60% of the time it works every time

Ah yes! It's quite the car! Be watching for one of our closest allies to announce a very special car at the NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) convention in Las Vegas ..........
