New 2007 Camaro

[Elgin Clock]

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.

OMG I hate you, I'm jealous.

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.

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.

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!!!

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:

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...

Well I had to register to settle this one down. Every single photo that you have posted in this thread is a photoshop. It is blantently obvious that there is unrealitic shading, shapes, and styling that would definatly not be on a photo of an actual vehicle. If you would go to www.ls1tech.com we have been over this time and time again. Yes there is a camaro scheduled for an unnamed 2006 autoshow, and it should hit showrooms in 2007. BUT no one knows what it will look like, what it will perform like, and exactly what chasis it will be on. The General is keeping this under tight wraps for now. As for those of you who ask 'why would they kill it only to bring it back'. I say to you, that you are not true sports car enthusiasts. Think about it for a minute, all the hype that is being drawn up over photoshoped images and hopes of a new 'Maro in the shadows will definatly boost sales and will give GM a better and more sportier image. That is unless they mess it up like the goat. As for the firebird, it is dead with no way of being resurected....at least for now.

Here are some links with some information you might find usefull on the subject. I would suggest reading the articles all the way through because there is a bunch on info in all of them. Some do conflict, but thats what you get with this type of situation.
Article on the 19 year old kid that did the photoshoped pics.

This is still a fun thread and I will continue to post here. BTW here is what the new Dodge Charger is supposed to look like for NASCAR competitions next year. I like it, but it looks like it might have some Aero issues to work out yet.

i love how ford comes out with the new retro t-bird a couple years back, and then the new 05 stangs, and now everybody is going wit the retro theme. basically, i think hte 2007 camaro will just be a retro- competition for the mustang, and it will probably cost more. chevy saw all the hype the 05 stangs caused, and now wants in on it. same thing for the new gto's. THEY COULDNT EVEN GET A NEW DESIGN! they jsut retooled a car from australia. seriously, they just use the name to make money. at least the stang has some of the same body lines.

oh yeah, and for anybody that loves em, i'll try and get some shots of my guitar player's dad's stangS. yes thats plural. 9 completely rebuilt and 3 more in the waiting. yes that was 9.

Hm...

Chrysler isn't. Just using the name - NOTHING at all retro about the new vehicles...
