Re: New 2007 Camaro
 
You know, when I first saw the photos of the Camaro and Charger that Matt posted, I saw a definite resemblance between the new Camaro and the first generation one ('67-'69), but didn't see anything with the Charger. Now that I looked closer at the Charger I noticed several styling cues to the '69 and '70 models. It has the recesses in the hood and crease lines in the doors that resemble the 69/70's version. What would be neat is if they could give it hide away headlights and the R/T stripes across the trunklid like the original.

Side note: One of the members of the club I belong to has a '69 Charger 440 (nonHemi). It is a real R/T with original drivetrain and factory air. That is one large car........just a big as my Caprice wagon.

Keep in mind - ALL the muscle cars of that era where nothing more than family sedans with a huge engine shoved in them.

Look at the GTO, or the Chevelle, or as you said the Charger, or even in a RoadRunner.

The Dodge Charger R/T is going to have a Hemi in it - but which one? There are rumors that they are going to slap a SuperCharger on the 6.1 Hemi and put in the Charger. (I really hope that happens!)

But the new Dodge Charger should beat the Chevrolet Camaro by no streach of the imagination :D

Wait a second? Only 310? I work in the engineering department of a factory where they build GM V8s. The LS6 makes over 400 naturally aspirated. Modified with turbos (that's not stock, nor is it from GM directly!) it can do over 550. It's a 5.7 L engine. Even the 5.7 L LS1 makes 350 in a base Corvette, and nearly that much in an older Trans-Am or Z28.

Seriously. I was a little surprised by that number too. The 05 LS2 in the corvette makes 400 hp.

Re: New 2007 Camaro
 
I realise that. Same thing I thought - but than agian - there may be a better package than the Z28 that Chevrolet does not want to release due to the competition (Dodge's rumored 6.1 supercharged engine.)

I think Chevrolet has an Ace up their sleve that they don't want to share... (maybe a supercharged 6.0 - or even a supercharged LS1?! :yikes: )

Um - I don't mean to be rude or anything - but mind sharing the info? If you have found out some REAL pictures of the new 2006 Charger you are only one of a handful on the internet.

Please - Please Greg - Don't toy with my emotions. SHARE THE WEALTH!!! :yikes:

Re: New 2007 Camaro
 
Also - here is a 3rd and 4th versions (yes - there are a total of 4 versions out there) of the Camaro. I'll post them all here...

The 1st image that I have seen about the 2007 Camaro:

(The only one of that Image)

The 2nd image of the 2007 Camaro:

Very-very similar of the 1st image. Only wheels are different from what I can see.

3rd Image of the Camaro that I have found:

More images of the 3th can be found at:
http://popularhotrodding.com/feature...camaro01_z.jpg
http://popularhotrodding.com/feature...camaro02_z.jpg
http://popularhotrodding.com/feature...camaro04_z.jpg
http://popularhotrodding.com/feature...camaro05_z.jpg

4th Image of the Camaro that I have seen:

That is the only image of that design of the Camaro.

Which way is Chevrolet (GM) going to go with this...Only time will tell. Personally I LOVE the 1st design and the 3rd. I wish there more images for the 1st design like the 3rd...:(

I agree!! :)

But the Charger would most likely put the Camaro to shame in a race.

However, the mustang with an shaker hood -- you can't beat that!

**What happened to the good years? :rolleyes: **

But overall, SWEET!! Those cars look awesome .. but like I've said before new sleek modern cars are just to modern for me ... call me old and antiquated but I like the classics -- which in this case it's not like it matters because the classics are the best when it come to cars anyway!! :cool:

I LOVE CARS!! **drools; wipes mouth and keyboard; drools again**

the charger just looks like it has more attitude, when you look at the front. I just don't see it in the Camaro. But I'm a mopar fan so... i will always favor a mopar over any bow tie. :)

Um...Yea...

That was the prototype in 1999.

Sorry to burst your bubble. That is the very first concept - but as you see Diamler side has steped in to modify the new model to look more like the front end of the Magnum.

Sorry... ;)

Boties are for kids. Get real -get Mopar.

Mopar = More Power :D

Ford circles the problem. GM underlines it. Chrysler got a star for how excellent they are! :yikes:
