New 2007 Camaro
 
Yup - you heard it here first. GM is producing a new Camaro - but the year to be released is AROUND 2007 - and it's been totaly redesigned with a V-8 6.0L 310+ HP. (Z28 package) Nawt bad.

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

These are just from drawings that have been leaked and the final production run of these vehicles will look similar to the ones shown below - but not 100% as shown below.

Enjoy!

From a purely aesthetic view:

The Camaro looks nice! I love the mean looking grill and intake.

The Charger look s like every other dodge.
For me, the piece that sticks out the most is the grill/front end. My personal favorites include '71 Road Runner, '72 AMC Javelin, and '68 Mustang.
A sort of standard grill really takes away from the whole look.

But, I'm not much of a car buff.

I agree...the Camaro looks pretty sweet. Why did GM take it off the market for like 5 years if they had any plans to bring it back? I don't get it.

I would much rather drive that charger. And in a race the charger would put the camaro to shame.

Thanks, but no thanks. Although I have turned into a MOPAR guy, I have deep roots in Ford.

I'll take the new 2005 Mustang over that Camaro, or Charger anyday.



The only thing it needs though, since it takes it's styling from the 69/70 Mustangs, is a shaker hood.

A shaker hood is shown in this picture of a 1969 Mach 1.


It's basically an air intake, which shakes as you rev the engine.

By the way, I have a 70 Mach 1 sitting right under me downstairs in my garage right now.
And a 65 mustang as well.

I'm glad to see the Camaro coming back. I've always liked those cars. My cousin had an 87' Berlinetta. Since the Camaro is coming back any word on it's twin the Firebird or the Trans Am version reappearing also? GM had basically handed the whole (American) market to the Mustang when they cancelled the Chevy and Pontiac competitors.

Now not to knock the Mustang, I own one.........see my who am i pic, but deep down (overall) I am a GM person.

That camaro is pretty sweet. It retains the old school aspect, plus the modern, sleek look.

Due to customer demands for new features and the new crash/saftey rules that are now placed - it would of costed wwaayy too much to reengineer and retool the plant that the Camaro was built at - and than keep the Camaro looking the same. All manufactures (yes - even outside of Vehicle Producers) do what's best economy wise and money wise.

It was just simplier to cancel the camaro for a few years, build a new place/retool an exesting place during thoes years, and totaly build a new design from the ground up with the new saftey ratings in effect to meet and than beat (future 'upgrades') verisons of the saftey ratings.

Hey - Elgin,

69' Mach 1 Mustang w/ the Shaker Hood

OR...

70' HEMI Cuda w/ the Shaker Hood?

:eek: :D

Re: New 2007 Camaro
 
I'll take one of each.

I mean, if I have to take sides, I'll take the Camaro. My roots lean more towards GM, seeing as my first car was an Olds (may the marque rest in peace). But both of those other two look just as pimp.

As for how the cars perform...well, we're gonna have to see, won't we?

OMG I hate you, I'm jealous. :yikes:

Yeah, the 2007 Camaro looks real nice, but a mustang wins anyday. Although Mustangs are actually the only Fords I really like, and by "really like" I mean love with a passion. :)
