I think it should build on the phrase they already coined. It should be a mustang and a challenger in a race at the strip, The tree hits green and they take off.
As they speed towards the finish line, a camaro splits them right down the middle and continues passed the turn off point (don't know what it's called at a track). "Why drive challengers when you could drive champions?" "Join the revolution" as the american revolution graphic splashes up on the screen like the magazine ad. |

D@mn, you guys type a lot when I'm gone...
I'll read back through it later, but someone mentioned the Z28 or SS being top dog....I know this isn't the right thread, but Dragon knows what I'm talking about when I say we've been watching what Scott's been saying and it's been strongly hinted that Z28 might be the big daddy this go around. |

I've linked to this before, but I'll do it one last time:
http://www.mallettcars.com/index.html Anyway you look at it, I'm getting a powerful v8 Camaro... ASAP. And besides, buying a v6 and replacing it with an LS3 on my own would mean much better insurance rates... |

Don't be surprised if the opposite of what you said occurs. They showed us a 400 hp Concept. They said, "this is what the top-of-the-line would be". Then Our friend Ed Peper said this during an interview for Autoblog:

More power does not neccesarily cost more money. As engines advance you get more power for the same price. Check out the LS series: LS-1 +/- 350hp. LS-2 400hp LS-3 430(6) hp And all those engines cost about 7k by themselves in their time. and they're not worried about stepping on the Vette (I'm not saying they will, though). So... I just spurt out what I read. Not trying to be an ass.:p |

pluuuuuuuuuus, the camaro engines are derived from the corvette engines. the vette comes out with a new engine, then the next year the camaro gets a detuned version of the same engine. throw a tune at it and you've got vette hp! but as a general rule FAST CHEAP RELIABLE pick 2.

I'm not an expert on these things, but it seems like historically the Camaro has often as not recieved a corvette engine that is a year or two old for use in the top Camaro. so its not as if it would be shocking to hear that the camaro gets the LS3 at 430 hp. Also, I have read in some mag a few months ago (ie don't take this too seriously) that the guys working on the Camaro are NOT worried about the 425 hp 6.1L hemi in the Challenger. Take that how you want
