Anyone tempted?

1. Weight : 3500-3600 lbs
2. Engine : LT1 6.2 455 HP/ 455 ft lbs torque
3. Interior : Gauges seem to be right out C7 Corvette.
4. Chassis: Alpha platform, magnetic ride control

Not tempted at all. If the '16 Camaro is anything like the previous one, too many blind spots for me.

I like driving the real thing, not a wannabe.

The SS is gonna be nice.....

I don't get the haters.....

It's just a car....

Maybe for a daily driver...but the Z will remain the weekend fun car.

short answer, nope

Love the new Camaro. We had a '94 Z28. Fun car. But no. We aren't interested now. We love Corvettes.

As a kid growing up I never said "Boy, someday I'm going to get me a Camaro." What I DID say was "Someday, yessir someday, I'm going to own my very own Corvette!" There is just something about a Corvette that seems a little magical to me. 63 years of manufacture and they still make me smile.

OK, truth be known, when I was a kid dreaming there was no Camaro to wish for. But had there been, I'd still have wanted the Corvette!

The Chev

It's got:

Vette engine
Vette shocks
Vette Dash
Vette inspired transmission


I Have a Vette with Vette everything.


But seriously, all of the new muscle cars look like trucks that have been lowered to me. Even the C7 has a lot of that going on that I don't care for.

I will stick to my flip up headlights and sleek aerodynamic look.

The specs look really sweet, although I'll be very surprised if it weighs 3500-3600 LBS, especially when the C7 weighs ~3400 LBS.

Edit: Looks like the estimate is around 3700 LBS (2015 SS is a tad over 3900 LBS)

No, I drive a Corvette. But I've seen a few guys who really rock the girl cars, Camora, Mustang, Challenger models with the baby seats in them. LOL! I used to drive them when we had babies and had to go get groceries. But now I have the ability to own Corvettes and when I need stuff drive the truck.

It's just too funny after all those years in sedans and now finally being able to drive the best sports car GM ever made.

I'm ecstatic that Chevy is building the Camaro SS and pulling from the Corvette parts bin. Just means I may one day be able to snag an LT4 and trannie for my Chevelle project.

I dont think it looks that bad but I would not buy one. I stopped liking them after 2002.

Hot Rod Magazine had a nice article on the '16 Camaro SS and they mentioned that visibility had been improved some.

What needs to be fixed is the tiny trunk opening.

Black 02

It looks good on paper but it's not a car I would really want to own. Maybe if they brought Pontiac back and released a Firebird version I would be more tempted. Overall, I'm not a big fan of Chevrolet or their recent styling trends.

I don't hate the camaro but it's just something about the new design over the last few years that makes me feel it is an entire brand new car and not worthy of the Camaro name.

The Dodge challengers and new Ford mustangs even went retro and kept some of the old designs on the new car design.

Lee DeRaud

It has blind spots in places where the C5 doesn't even have spots.
I've found the latest run of retro muscle-cars to be almost claustrophobic, and the "chopped roof" look that causes it just throws the proportions off compared to the originals. Never thought I'd say it, but the newer Mustangs look better than the Camaros and Challengers.

Sinister-one

Once you go Vette you'll never beck !!!

It's nice, and if I needed a back seat; maybe. But we have a mini-van for that. I don't need to haul my wife and kids around in my car, it's my DD and fun car.
I checked out the pictures. Overall I am OK with the new-old style Challenger, Mustang, Camaro models. The interiors have everything you want and more, maybe too much more, but whatever...
I'll keep my Z06 thank you, even over the ZL1. Nicer, cleaner lines.
