camero concept carFollow

Haha, ok, lets race...
Obviously you need to try something other than who steps on the gas fastest at a stoplight. A lot of corvette drivers are not always trying to drag race, in fact I generally drive slower in the corvette becuase I know its a cop magnet.

But I don't like cars. I'd consider this a successful ninja-hijack.

Being married and having almost no interest in cars other than getting from point A to point B safely, I think I might actually know more about purses. When I see the word 'chassis' my eyes start to glaze over.

Not to break the great debate...

but did anyone else notice it kinda looks like the batmobile?

But from what I know, shadow, is that no car can out handle a 2006 Mini Cooper S. That baby can take a 90degree turn at like 45mph,
-------------------------------

true. i mean, if your into go-carts that is.

the lighter the car, the lower the center of gravity, the better its gona corner, barring suspension limitations that is. a geo metro, inspite of its weight, corners like a pregnant cat running from a dog.

what muscle cars delivered over the rest was raw power. and i agree, most american cars handle like crap compared to just about anything else on the road.

the corvette has come a long way though. take off those plastic body panals and underneith is a pure racing machine. they shaved almost 1000 pounds from the car from the 1982 to the 1985 model. the 2006 is even lighter, with a more powerfull engine. the zo6 has over 500 hp on a very light, well ballanced alluminum chasis. even the transmission and rear end diferential have alluminum housings now.

honestly, if you have not driven one lately, you have not driven one period. it is a totally differant animal than what it used to be. not to mention, for the price of a well equiped 3 series BMW, you could drive something not even Ford would put its GT up against for a whopping 100,000 dollars more.

but, personally, i think vetts suffer greatly from a serious lack of styling. they are really plane jane to look at, inspite of what they are capable of. while everything underneith got serious upgrades, the body looks to be completly ignored style wise. the interrior is not much to look at either.

the new camaro, however, just rocks.

i like the challenger concept car too, but after owning a new dodge...once....ill never own another Dahlmer Chrysler product ever again, nor will any of my immediate familey. they make great engines and good looking cars, but they are made like crap and the warentee they give you is not worth the paper it is written on.

just one example, my 1 year old dodge was rusting badle under the seats inside the car. EVERYONE but dodge usses galvanized metal through out cars now. the 5 year "rust through" warentee? ROFL, it is a rust THROUGH warentee. they will repair it ONLY if there is an actual HOLE caused by rust, and then, they will repair ONLY the HOLE.

many other problems i had with that piece of lemon law bait, but lets not get into it. sufice to say, they could bring back the superbird and i wouldnt buy it.

i have owned alot of camaros and vetts. 4 69 camaros at differant times, including a 69 Z-28 with the origonal 302 motor, hugger orange with white stripes. muncie 4 speed and 12 bolt to boot. my favorite was a 69 ss, forest green though. the z-28 didnt have air conditioning, and with 4-11 gears, really was a boitch to drive anywhere, especially in the rain.

the new camaro concept car puts something back into cars that has been sorely missing for close to 30 years now. sorely missing. still missing in the vetts in my openion. that vicious mean look of the late 60,s early 70,s and some balls to back it up. style, pure and simple.

i want one. i will have one.....in 2008....ARGHHHH.....i can wait.....

the new Ford Mustang is the best looking ford to hit the market in 30 years. their sales are screaming for it too. hopefully, it will be the beginning of a new trend for american cars......again....

was almost looking at one....almost....then i caught a glimps of the Camaro concept car at the auto show here in miami. OMG, the pictures do not do it justice. it is a seriously awsome looking car. the fenders were slick with the flow of drool from the thousands of people gawking at it. they would have to be blind to not see the impact it had on anyone who gazed at it. no one walked by it without a double and triple take.

2008. bush leaving office, and the most awsome car chevy will produce will hit the market. makes me tear up. gona be a great year. i can feel it in my bones.

Are you fu[/red]cking kidding me? The new Mustang is the ugliest once since the years of the Mustang II. Their sales numbers? Please...they can't be all that fu[/red]cking impressive if they're getting ready to axe over 8000 jobs.

Are you ******* kidding me? The new Mustang is the ugliest once since the years of the Mustang II. Their sales numbers? Please...they can't be all that ******* impressive if they're getting ready to axe over 8000 jobs.

----------------------------------------------------

yea, i bet you thought the pacer was the wave of the future too. hehehe

its a matter of taste. Ford has been selling the crap out of their reinvented pony car though.

as for axing 8000 jobs, your getting that confused with Kraft foods. they are axeing 8000 jobs. ford is axeing 25,000 jobs here in the U.S., just like GM axeing 30,000 jobs here.

but it is not because they are going bellie up, it is because they are shifting ALL of their production, eventually, over seas where they can pay an asembly line worker 50 cents an hour(average wage in china) with NO medical care, NO retirement, or any other kind of benifit as opposed to dealing with unions here in the U.S.

they are following the wave of american manufacturing plants out of this country. but that is another issue for another thread. funny how you dont see Bill Ford mentioning their expansions plans in China and Mexico and other places in their new commercials. selling snake oil to the sheep. welcome to asmerica.

There's still part of me tempted to save a few thousand and go for this petit demoiselle.

My ex had the previous model (soft-top) and despite never liking froggy motors before, it was immense fun to drive.
