Z28's are rare...you're probably not gonna see one on the road, maybe at a car show(awesome cars to drive BTW, such anger...and handling...it's beautiful).
Sadly most are 6 bangers BUT that's OK...that keeps GM making $$$ so they can build the REAL ones.

And also, those stock v6s can beat many, not all, of the built v6s from a decade ago.
The turbo 4 option is very interesting. I like it. A cool build would be for someone to swap the new 4 cyl into an older early 3rd gen that originally came with the iron duke 4 cyl.

Oh absolutely...but have you talked to many V6 owners? Go take a peak on the message boards or Camaro5's Facebook page....they give me a migraine. 
I'm just glad in '14 the SS/RS hoods have the heat extractors, something that separates the 8's from the 6's, something the average person can tell....I'd be pissed of someone asked me if my car is a V8...after spending a chunk of $$ on it I don't want it confused with a V6.

Yes, hence why I do not go on Camaro5 anymore. I used a different name when I signed up there. Too many ignorant people who dont mind wasting a ton of money to buy crap which makes their cars look hideous.

As long as you don't have lambo doors, excessive attachment to a "theme" for your car, or some gaudy color scheme, you get a pass.

lol holy hell that would be hilarious to see a 50 year old dude pull up with some 26'' DUBS blinged out with chrome 70s vette sidepipes and lambo doors. Sad that we cant even blame this one on the kids these days

Scary but true. It's...odd.
The themed ones are hilarious too. I try not to judge anymore, I used to be a ass years ago...now to each their own but it makes you wonder WTF they were thinking and who around them was encouraging it.

I do think it is great that Chevy is putting out a 6th gen that seems (so far) well received by 5th gen and potential buyers. Ditto for Ford with their new Mustang.
But, the design is not to my taste (subjective) and is more 5th gen from the pics than something different. Will need to see in person to form an actual concrete opinion.
The weight of these cars is still too high, they should be on par with the 4th gens - even with the new government requirements. I'm going to say from the pics that the aerodynamics are improved from the 5th gen - but no where as good as the 3rd and 4th gens; talking CoD and frontal area here - not downforce.
ThoR294, LOL about the 323hp V6 running in the high 14's. My 280hp LaCrosse (same size engine, but FWD in a heavier car) runs in the high 14's. Minimal meaningful power upgradability on the V6 - unlike the LS1/2/3...

Fourth gens are 3600-3700 lbs.
Fifth Gens are 3600-3900lbs
Sixth gens are 3400-3700lbs (200lbs+ lighter)

They don't seem to reflect that at the track based on Hp claims.

With proper gearing it would look better. I'm sure the v6 is peaky for the hp number.

growing up camaros were always very low, swoopy and sleek looking cars. I can see why some of the older guys like the lines because its more coupe looking like the first 2 generations of camaros than the 2+2 look of the 3rd and 4th gens....but it still looks like it shouldve been given a different name other than camaro. Chevelle/Malibu/Impala wouldve been more fitting imo.

To each their own, I guess. Every generation, up until now, have been dramatically different than the generation it replaced. From first to fourth have become very low slung and poorly designed when it came to ergonomics.
The 4th gen is the worst when it comes to every aspect of driving. Swept back and heavily raked windshield, crazy low ride height, small side mirrors combined with poor sight lines and no interior space for a car that by 2002 was longer than a Ford Explorer of the same year.
Combine that with it's insane weight considering it was sitting on a revised third gen platform and the majority of the body panels were made of plastic, it could be the poster child for everything wrong with GM at that time.
In 2002, there was a 6 month waiting list for the PT Cruiser. At that same time, they were discounting Camaros and Trans Ams so that dealers could get them off the lot to make room for cars that sold.

So now that the 6th gen is out, what will fanbois harp over? Will 5th gens be quickly relegated to the masses?
What is a internet fanboi to do???
Sidenote, I see more GTRs than V8 5th gens.

Where are you getting these numbers? I haven't seen any 5th gens under 3900lbs. and based on the overall size and shape I don't see how the 6th gen is any lighter. Does anyone have a link on how much the 6th gen actually weighs.
Based on the simple evolution of things, more safety equipment usually equals more weight.

There are fanbois of ever generation of every cool car. When 4th gens came out the new owners acted the same way towards 3rd gen owners, every new generation of Corvette a new crowd starts singing to the mountain how all the old ones = mass suckage while the anti new car owners continue to decry the loss of chrome and how airbags make the steering wheel look stupid. None of it is anything new, just seems like the gap in production for several years has amplifide how obvious the fanboi/hateraid is this time.
I look forward to seeing the 6th gen in person, though I don't really have any interest in owning one.
