Yay, just in time now that all the Baby Boomers lost their asses in the stock and housing markets.

[Vdub Power]

I would buy one if I had the money, Camaro is my favorite car.

[Ood]

I would buy one if I had the money, Camaro is my favorite car.

Don't admit that here, people will tear you a new one.




On that note, I'm a life long Mopar guy and (old) Chargers are my favorite car.

[Vdub Power]

I can't change what I said now that you quoted me, thanks a lot!

- Hey Jack, what's happenin'?

- Ah, it's a place that lets sixteen year-oold kids drink.
- Ah, cool.
- Ya hey, guess who's gonna be there?
- Uh, who?
- My favourite cover band, Crystal Ship.
- Wow.
- Yeah, they do a Doors show, you'd be reallly impressed, in fact, it goes a
little like this:

Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times girl
Cause I got AIDS
Love me two times baby,
once for tomorrow,
once cause I got AIDS

- Never mind that, the important thing heree...
- You mean the People's Court.
- The... Now, that's another story. The impportant thing here is that we get
to the part where you ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore.
- Oh, how you gettin' down to the shore?
- Funny you should ask, I've got a car now..
- Ah wow, how'd ya get a car?
- Oh, my folks drove it up here from the Baahamas.
- You're kidding!
- I must be, the Bahamas are islands. Okay,, the important thing here is
that, uh, you ask me what kinda car it is.
- Uh uh, what kinda car do ya' got?
- I've got a bitchin' Camaro...

(1.2.3.4)
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Now I'm in all the papers

My folks bought me a bitchin' Camaro
With no insurance to match
So if I happen to run you down
Please don't leave a scratch

I ran over some old lady
One night at the county fair
And I didn't get arrested
Because my dad's the mayor

Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Tony Orlando and Dawn

When I drive past the kids
They all spit and cuss
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And they have to ride the bus

So you'd better get out of my way
When I come through your yard
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And an Exxon credit card

Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Hey man where ya headed?
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
I'm drunk on unleaded!

[a1maniac]

dead milkmen are great :thumbup:

[gli_ryan]

i saw one driving last night. I think they look pretty good.

[dontknownuttin]

I don't know.... I like the new Challengers better, but they are so expensive. Doesn't matter though, I won't be buying either ever. It is nice that they are offering them about $10k cheaper than the Challengers though (at least on the high end)

[mattdesmond]

I'd definitely opt for a challenger. Though I'd have to get the option without the dumb stripes. They just don't look right like they did on the original ones.

[TTaM]

I can't wait until they are available at the rental counter. 300hp V6? yes please

[gli_ryan]

^ the camaro? or the challenger? because Oods rented a Challenger in Cali.

[TTaM]

Camaro. The Challenger V6 only has 250hp

[mimalmo]

Exhaust looks good for OEM.

[sgt snuffles]

the camaros are already out?.. i think id also opt for a challenger, my buddy just got a R/T in black very very nice car also just put a nice borla catback on sounds of god. :worthy:

[The_Stig]

Have I ever told you that I'm a fan of Camaros?

Because I'm a fan of Camaros.

[dubcrazy]

they are really nice cars but i think they are cheap built a little bit.

[flippinvw]

the camaros are already out?

That is effin' hilarious.

[shawn o]

Seen several of them over the last week. Even uglier in person. They'll make good rental cars...

[hamradio]

I like them. I saw one about a week ago. It was black. It looked nice.

[Toftii88]

they look stupid from the ass end. the front looks good but the rear looks terrible

[DubsMcGee]

v6 should not be an option in either of the cars. look what it did to the charger.

[TTaM]

v6 should not be an option in either of the cars. look what it did to the charger.

The V6 Camaro is almost as powerful as the the GT Mustang

[DubsMcGee]

I stand by my statement.

Don't you at least mean Challenger, not Charger?

[Crispy222]

Someone owns one across the street from me.

[hamradio]

I'm glad this thing actually looks decent...when I first heard a new camaro was coming out, I just hoped that it wouldn't be something cheesy, like the '90s camarobirds.


I like it when manufacturers make a car that is sort of a throwback to an older car, and do a good job of it.

[merajj]

i fuckin hate this thread

[DubsMcGee]

Don't you at least mean Challenger, not Charger?

no, the Charger was pretty cool when it came out until everyone and their mother got one since they offered it with a v6.

[shanetrain]

i have seen both the challenger R/T and camaro black in person. i like them both.


dubcrazy --- emir?

[jlien08]

The new Chargers a re a defamation of the Charger name.... what a joke. The Challenger's and Camaros, on the other hand, are both hot throwbacks. I don't care what anyone says, the Charger is just a 300 with a spoiler.

[Topher]

Just got an invite through culture|garage to come test drive the new Camaro and meet the designer. Then a wine and dine afterwards. Unfortunately, I'm out of town so I'm sending someone in my place.

Really wanted to check this car out.

Anyone driven one yet?

No, but I have seen them at the Avis counter. 300hp V6 sounds like a good time for a rental

[Russo]

No, but I have seen them at the Avis counter. 300hp V6 sounds like a good time for a rental

I avoid flying places because rental cars usually suck, but now flying seems like a good excuse to try a new car for a week.

[SLK]

anyone know what these things weigh? I know 300hp sounds good and all but if it is in a 4500lbs car then thats about as fast as my stock GTI.

[Sven7]

No, but I have seen them at the Avis counter. 300hp V6 sounds like a good time for a rental

Actually I drove one and I was a bit disappointed. Should be faster for what it looks and sounds like. But the steering felt nice. Bottom line, I'd rather drive a B5.5 V6.

Well Avis doesn't rent those. Give the choice between a Camro and an Impala, I'm siding with the Camaro

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm sorry... this is just unacceptable. I feel bad for Chevy and GM trying to pull out of this slump, but his just locked the coffin in my opinion.

I honestly like this car too. It looks really good. I definitely enjoyed it in the new tranformers movie.

[Digital K]

hahaha oof

[palmer]

Jeez.


Couple the lame ass V8 tranny, with the base engines tendency to stretch timing chains, and you have a REAL winner on your hands.

Sucks. I saw a yellow one at Good Earth in roseville a few days ago, and thought it looked pretty nice.

[4DoorWhore]

challenger > camaro

[mimalmo]

At least with GM's Caddy CTS-V you could get 10 to 20k miles before needing another diff. Sounds like these are failing right out of the box...

[John2.0T]

That review told me exactly what I expected.

They look tough, sound awesome and... and... thats it.

They tried to make them look like the older (better) muscle cars from the 60's. They did a decent job by combining modern designs, but they still all look the same.

They are fast in a straight line, but they are heavy, can't handle for shit and completely unresponsive... again what I expected.

So I guess, all in all, they did a good job bringing back the old muscle cars.

[iraqiswhack]

what else would you expect from GM? government motors = fail.

[Sven7]

i drove a new camaro. not bad.
