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.

 

Ford doesn't offer their 3.5L in the Mustang, only the Ecoboost 4 banger, so GM has competing options for all of Ford's engine choices.

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:

 

The current Challenger looks like a classic challenger got stung by a bee and had an allergic reaction. My biggest problem with the challenger is the horrible side profile. Due to being built on the modern charger platform, they had to put the windshield very far forward and it throws off the proportions once you really notice it. They tried to do ALOT of design work to mask it, but once you realize how short the hood is compared to the rest of the car, you can't see it any other way.

 

This is coming from a former Mopar guy that would have killed to get a 70/71 Cuda.

Agreed.

If Ol' Henry Ford was still around, we would all be driving black cars.

 

Damn near bought a 71 Challenger, guy had ragged it out bad & it blew smoke like an old

GE loco.

It's funny that with a lot of things I'm picky and also stubborn most of the time, but when it comes down to muscle cars I couldn't have just 1. Seems like as time goes on there's more and more I would want. Maybe I need to stop watching Barrett-Jackson or just watch the Scottsdale one. When it comes to Vettes I prefer the new stuff while the others I prefer classic muscle from the mid 60s to early 70s.

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.

The XTS/Lacrosse/Impala may share the super zeta, but not the others. They are huge sedans. CTS and Camaro could. The ATS is much much smaller. I am just saying that this camaro has a lot of cues from the Vette.

Looks good to me. If I had the loot I'd pick it up and alternate with my sierra.

Love it! Everything about it... :cheers:

 

But I'm guilty of liking anything that's new... new styling, facelift, full redesign, whatever. I'm also guilty of being all about the latest and greatest. :lol:

 

When the 2014 C7 Corvette was first announced, the haters came out of the woodwork! Not me... loved it from day one! :thumbs: (Same for the '14 Silvy and Sierra... LOTTA Hate out there!) :rolleyes:

I think GM knocked it out of the park with the last one - was a much needed redesign over those gawd awful looking ones from the 90's. I wasn't surprised the Camaro name died after that. I still hate those even today.

 

I hate how manufacurers always feel the need to mess with what works as far as styling goes, but I guess people like that sort of thing. Don't look bad from here, aside from the gaping lower grill that looks odd on that car. I'd have to see the new one in person. With the prices on these things, if I can't tow with it or make money with it, I ain't buyin it, so it's all a moot point I suppose.

When the '10 Camaro came out, I wasn't moved by the pics at all. Thought it looked good, but wasn't anything earth shattering for me. After I saw my buddy's, I said HOLY S*** ! Thing is just friggin beautiful in every way. WAY more impressive in person. I was expecting a car about the size of a '83 Ford Escort, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a somewhat normal sized car with not just a V8 under the hood ... but a decent sized one at that!

 

I'm not a big fan of all this computer crap on everything these days, but that car makes me actually like it a little bit ... especially after all the money he's sunk into the engine, driveline, and tuning. :)

The reason automakers don't keep the same body styles and so on as long as they used to is because people now a days have a lot shorter attention span and get bored easy so that's why automakers have to update stylings so often.

From the front bumper down, ugly.

From the rear taillights down, ugly.

 

The 2014 was awesome, coming and going. This new offering, not so much.

What are you referring to as "dual quads"?

 

Two part carry-over, now that's new. The rear end looks higher which won't help the already non-existent visibility out the back. I like the body styling, although I prefer a touring car. If the vents on the hood are functional, headwinds will be a fun drive with the turbo version. Just going on looks alone, I'll give it a 10, although I wouldn't buy one.

 

My son has a 5th Gen and he always loved the dual quads in the rear of my touring car. Now the 6th Gen has dual quads, going to be a hit with the 30 something crowd.

 

The Transformer look: During the production of the first Transformer movie, I was consulted by the producer if filming at my location was a possibility. My location was too important to national security to make it happen, but it was fun to hear the details. True story.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
