From the car and driver lightning lap


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: tht thing is HUGE

That's a HUGE %&^%! I see one driving on the opposite side of the road on my way home and the size def. stands out.

ehhh .... its a little big. :)

It's on the big side.

Is there one of you who wouldn't drive it though? I applaud Mopar for building their SRT line of vehicles.

Dont ask silly questions.
SRT line is great...but SRT8 is 10k more and .5 slower then the Camaro SS.

:sigh: here we go again ......... :(

The srt is a lot more than $10K more than a Camaro because there is no Camaro.

If you were in the market for a sports car that offered room for more than 2, what would you get GM doesn't offer a Camaro/Firebird type of vehicle. Yes one day there will be a Camaro/Firebird built but unless you are a diehard fan you aren't going to wait until the year 20??

lol, it seems like it!

looks like the fat cheerleader of the group you know ...the one always at the bottom of the pyramid

anyone see the results? the challenger did shockingly well even though its a "boat"

The Camaro will be on Dealer lots within 6 months as a 2010 model.

now im not a huge fan of the car. but it is impressive with the 0-60 and 1/4 times with over 4100lbs.:shock:

the pic just makes it seem bloated IMO

Sexy as hell though.

The Challengers big problem

It doesn't matter if it was the 500 or so lbs lighter that the Camaro is supposed to be or not with them donuts. Someone should send Ford and Chrysler a letter and let them know that rim can be made more than 8inches wide.

15 weeks till production
On sale in a few months.

I dont know why people keep talking down the Camaro like its still a concept.

CTS-V

Weight 4200-4300lbs
Length 191.6
Width: 72.5
Hight: 58

CTS-V IS smaller then the Challenger. Camaro is 2 inches shorter and 4-5 inches lower then the CTS-V, but about the same width as the Challenger. So looking at the CTS-V next to the Challenger can give you a good idea of what it will look like when Camaro and Challenger face off.

who seriously gives a flying **** what each car is? holy ****. just buy the god damn car you want and shut the **** up. get off GMs nuts, its all about preference, as it always has been.

no one has any comment on the cobalt SS? whats wrong with you guys?

ummm id love to have one!

About how it tore the **** out of the competition? Pretty sweet.

GTO ??

G-8 ??

Still GM :mrgreen:

So people can swing off the Challenger's nuts, and no problem, but when I bring in the Camaro, Im the nut swinger...right.

My perference is Camaro. And I talk about it, just like when people defend thier own car. So what makes me different? Cause im more vocal about it?
Dont like the talk, stay teh **** out of the thread.
