I still MUCH prefer the looks of the Challenger...but if I could get the Challengers looks with the Camaro's performance, you would have the perfect car.

Not bad looking, I wonder if the new suspension will actually make allow it to keep up with a mustang through a bend...which isnt saying much

Something is not adding up here....

 

"That's all well and good, but the biggest news is that 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 featured in the Camaro will now boast 323 horsepower – an 11 pony increase over last year. That nudge rather conveniently puts the V6 Camaro ahead of the V6-equipped Ford Mustang at 305 horsepower."

 

If it is 11 hp more than last year, that means last year was 312. Isn't 312 already a bigger number than 305? So how does it "conveniently puts the V6 Camaro ahead of the V6-equipped Ford Mustang at 305 horsepower" as apparently it was already higher?

Looks nice! I'm curious as to what the heads built in manifold will look like.

It may have more HP but is it actually faster? I thought (at least previously) Ford's 3.7 was quicker than the Camaro V6. Regardless, I'd still take a Camaro. Just with 2 more cylinders.

Well...Ford likes to win on paper...GM wins in the real world.

Looks good. But why would you waste your money wtih a V6? THe new Camaro's look pretty bad ass. As soon as we can get rid of our mini-van, the wife wants a new Camaro. I'm holding out for a Vette.
