Scared to see what the price will be. I definitely want one. I am emailing my wife the article and see what she says :dunno:

Did you end up going to the Chicago show or are you going? I doubt I will be able to go but I have my brother taking pics of this for me.

Finally a new camaro I some what like...I still wouldn't take one instead of the mustang gt500 though.

 

Can't wait to see a comparison test of the two.

Investments? Tell her you only live once! :dunno: If you have kids, hope they end up extremely gifted and smart so they can afford to put you in a nice nursing home.

 

 

On second thought, financial advice from the single guy with no kids isn't the best advice to take. :P

This one in the right color with the right options could be a major collector car in 40 years though...You would get a better return from a mutual fund so she kinda has you on this one and a 550hp camaro is likely hard to keep hidden from your wife haha

freaking awesome. will be my next car.

 

considering a fully loaded ss tops out at about 44, i would say 47-50k. which would also put it right in line with the gt500- and considering this is basically a chevy cts-v thats a steal.

The world is going to end Dec 21, 2012 so I could enjoy it for a few months :dunno:

Let the ass kicking begin. Makes the limp-wristed GT500 look like a Toyota!

 

This car is more than a year out so you will have to wait a while. At least Gm got the name right for a change.

The Ford "freaks" are already shooting darts. I love it. :lol:

 

I will say though, one place where the Camaro really needs help is in the weight department. It is quite the portly

car, when compared to the Rustang, and a nice diet would help A TON. (no pun intended) :lol:

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
