There will be one in my driveway. 2017 maybe because there will be something they add that might be worth waiting for.

Way better then the last one.. The last gem camaro interior was awful and the whole car just looked dated when it came out.. Wish the would make them smaller too

It says 200 lbs less then the 5th gen. So roughly 3600-3700 lbs depending on model I believe.

Not bad, still wish it were lighter. I used to have a heavily modified 4th gen that was an autocross/HPDE car. I lightened it by 200# and that made a huge difference.

 

 

 

Actually being just above mid 3,000 lbs is real close to what the 1st gen weighed. That's not bad considering all of the extra stuff that new cars have.

3,500# first gens? Yeah, maybe with a few fat guys in it!

I agree on the rear blind spot, hope a back up cmaera is an option?

 

What happened to the twin turbocharged 3.6? it was rumoured to compete with the Ecoboost from Ford.

Well from my understanding I thought they were around the 3,400 range. Looks like Gen 2 is when you get around the same as the new gen 6 which is in the same boat because gen 2s were before computers and had steal bodies like the gen 1s. I could be wrong about the computer thing, but I don't think GM started to use computers until the mid 80s.

As with all the late model cars & trucks, this camaro is BLOATED!

Need to call in Jenny Craig & Weight watchers for some fat cutting.

 

That being said, 1st gen was the best for body style.

If you call the camaro bloated what do you call the challenger?

I call the Challenger BLOATED also.

Although the Challenger more closely resembles the original car than does the Camaro or the Mustang.

All a matter of personal preference. :thumbs:

I just want it to be able to match real world corner weight scale numbers of the '15 Mustang-not the #'s you read online. It'll be interesting once they get out into the wild.

Not a bad looking corvette.

Actually its now made back in the US at a "Cadillac" Plant. That will tell you the smaller platform it shares.

Ya should be the same platform as the Cadi ATS Coupe. Same as the Impala I believe is the same platform as the Cadi CTS and I'm sure the Malibu is the same platform as the Cadi XTS. I could be wrong though.

I would like to thank the OP and others posting info/videos. I am a 1st Gen ( 68) lover, and the 5th gen really didnt do it for me, but this looks Hot. Any of you who own a brand new GM truck with a V-6 will know its been ( Ls'ed) and the 4.3 has as much power as a older 5.3 V8 LS engine.. That said; The camaro smaller V6 Im sure has been "Ls'ed" . I bet it flies, and gets 20+ mpg. The 4 cyl Turbo,, Well GM is Finally making use of the Pontiac Solstice GPX engine. Born for RWD use it seems like a natural fit. I am betting on 26 MPG on that ( without turbo running a lot).

I bought a '69 when they were new and only sold it after I got married and my new bride begged me to get a car with air conditioning and automatic transmission. I put 120,000 miles on that car and I loved it more than any car I have ever owned.

My current Camaro is a 2013 1LE and it makes me smile like a kid every time I drive it. If you drive the Camaro and the Mustang side by side, which I have done, the handling is far better is the modern Gen5 than the Mustang. Also, the quality of the materials on the interior of my Camaro make the Mustang seem cheap. My son is a dedicated Ford fan and I bought him a Mustang for his first car, so I am not just a Ford hater, I simply like my Camaro & Sierra better than his Mustang and F150.

I like the pics and videos of the Gen6, but I will be in no rush to trade my 1LE with less than 9K miles.

I might change my mind after I see one in person, I know than the interior is an improvement for sure.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
