Here we can talk about the new camaro. That I pray we get to see. Anyways. I have been hearing that they were so posed to come out first quarter of next year. But when I look in my sunday paper I find this:

Local dealership trying to get people to come order their camaros today. Me and my dad already put our order in. But look at the year in the pic....:brickwall::brickwall:

 

[Kyle]

You already ordered one?

Should be a nice looking vehicle.

 

[WJCraig]

Lots of dealers are taking orders now, but it'll be a while before you see one. Looks cool, from what I've seen. So, what options did you order yours with?

Ah...you're just upset because you're hangin' with the underdog...even many Ford owners know it's better to swap in a Chevy engine...

Oh, and except for that brief period from the mid 80's to early 90's, Camaro owners have always left Mustang owners in their rear view mirrors...But we always come back to help y'all get back to the parts store to get you Frod running again!

I ain't ever seen but one camaro out run a stang thats because the stang had a BBC and the camaro had a SBF.

Two brother did it out of a bet. One was a chevy guy the other a ford guy. the stang was a 69 and the camaro was a 71.

 

[Kyle]

Stop eating the mushrooms you find out in the pasture! They're messing with your mind!!!

I mean really...what kind of backwoods ******* would put a Ford engine into a Camaro...It never happened!

I will after school go get a pic of the camaro! It has a 351W with a edlbrock 4 barrel, Is been bored .30!

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

Oh I would drive the crap out of one of those.

The closest Ford has come to an attractive redesign of the Mustang was the Bullitt special edition Mustang. As far as modernized muscle cars go, Camaro and Challenger FTW.

I saw a new challenger the other day :thumbsup:

Very well put together car.

Yeah, I saw a Hemi orange R/T in NY over the weekend. They look great with the classic stripe up the back and the low profile wing. :rock:

 

[Kyle]

Anybody know estimated fuel mileage?

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

Don't know about "city" mpg, but it can't be pretty. I'd guess somewhere in the 12-14 mpg range. At highway speeds however, 4 of the 8 cylinders "deactivate" and it goes from a V8 @ 400hp to a inline 4 cylinder pushing ~150hp and getting 30+ mpg. So for cruising the highway, it wouldn't be a bad ride.

But if you're buying a Camaro with fuel economy in mind...

[WJCraig]

That is definitely the WRONG question when discussing these types of vehicles!!!

My dad orders most of it. cuz he is paying for insurance on it. so it will mainly be his car. But I get to drive it too. We are getting the LS3 with the 6speed. Thats all I wanted. he get to pick the rest of it. He will make it like our 69 we had im sure. Which was golden with black stripes and custom everything. I cant wait to see it!!!!!!

That is only with the auto. And I dont think the use the LS3 to do that with. Not sure there. but I do know that is only with the auto. And if you buy a car like this with a auto tranny you dont belong in a camaro.

I will have dad dig them up and scan them and email to me. We sold it back before cell phones had cameras and digi cameras came out. so ill ask him for them.

 

[Kyle]

Thanks a lot, looking forward to seeing them.
