Oh yeah, same as the Lightning almost

 

[CamaroSS]

03/04 cobra FTW, poor gt500, god damn turd

 

[Stink Star]

based not only on performance, but looks also.... 03 10th anny FTW!!!!!!

It seems like every car that comes out now is a turd. Challenger....turd. New Camaro......turd. GT 500.....turd. Its all of the new safety stuff that needs to go in. I was surprised when the corvette came out as low as it did, but then again it used a lot more aluminum, carbon fiber, and fiberglass than any of the other cars are going to. It seems like all you are paying for in the GT 500 is the name.

 

[CamaroSS]

ill argue the camaro being a turd cause frankly, we dont know for sure what motor it will have, if it has a ls9 as rumored, it dont see it being a turd... not to the same sense as a gt500 is.

 

[Mook]

reports keep putting the camaro at close to 3900lbs

 

[CamaroSS]

all reports at this point, the cars not even final yet. when the time comes, we shall see.

 

[Mook]

i could see it weighing in at around 3600

 

[Buddy5791]

id take the Cobra.. my friends got a 04 cobra Convt and his brother has an 08 GT5000 convt looks nice in the (orange) but i like the cobra alot better

 

[Primalzer]

i could see it weighing in at around 3600

with 300 pounds of weight reduction, i don't for see it weighing less than 3800 pounds, cost cutting and everything told.

IF it got the LS9, i would have to say it would be stupid expensive, like somewhere around what the GT 500 is. I think that when all is said and done a camaro with the LS7 weighing in at around 3800-3900 pounds would seem to put it in fairly direct competition with the GT 500 performance wise. When Ford learns to not jack the price of their cars way up, and GM learns to not give away $3 billion a year to its retired employees, we may start having some good competitions with the Camaro and Mustang again.

 

[CamaroSS]

its technically supposed to be getting the LSA, which is a 500+ hp motor thats similar to the ctsv motor. and the camaro will not be that expensive, its never been an expensive car. the 35th anniversary ss brand new with all the options wasnt even over 40k, i know cause my dad priced one out with the dealer cause he was gonna buy one.

 

[Primalzer]

Yeah that was last gen. 03/04 Cobra brand new was $33,xxx. But as time goes on, prices increase, parts and materials get more expensive, it's now more expensive to build the cars because of fuel prices, etc etc.

 

[CamaroSS]

im going by what gm has said the price range of the camaro will be, they arent gonna let it go high cause they dont want to scare away buyers.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i just hope its under 3600lbs. thats one of the many reasons the challenger and GT500 are stupid.

 

[Primalzer]

Well yeah, that's why they'll make a piss load of the V6 ones, to offset the prices. I imagine that'll come in right where the Mustang is now. And as the performance goes up, so will the price. I'd say that a camaro with 400ish HP would come in around 35,000, and 500 HP around 45,000. So yeah maybe you're right that something along the GT500 performance would end up being cheaper. But you can't honestly believe that prices would have stayed the same over the last 6 years.

yeah, we shall see, either way, i wont be buying one anyways, only car upgrade im looking at is a c6 z06

excellent choice. i personally dont like the new retro thing. i feel its ruining the classics.

i DO wish a company had the balls to create some classics with the old skins (being exactly as original) and building up the chassis and inside as new.

Aftermarket has done it and some of them look BADASS. I was up at Road America last summer. Saw a company that had done a COMPLETE swap of an 03/04 drivetrain, interior, suspension into a 1964.5 Mustang. Looked incredible, everything looked like it belonged, nothing half-assed. Problem was they were looking for like $220K for the car.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

sounds like a perfect mix but the price...ouch.

i think a 67 camaro would be a perfect candidate but using one of the "new" bodies that are out as to not ruin a classic.
