  1. Oh my god. That is devestating.
  2. This was supposed to be the FIRST affordable hardtop from GM since 1976. Actaully PERIOD. (unless you count the 2-dozen or so Japanese hardtops from the late '70s and early '80s) That's well over a 1/4 of a century. Long time to wait. What;s esp. annoying is that since a convertible is coming 75% of the parts required for a hardtop were already there. This is a cop out and I will never agree that it is the smart or right choice. Let me tell you a little story about how car companies pu$$y out every day and feed us marketing B.S. Back in the late '80s Honda was approached by McLaren to build a V-12 for their upcoming "super-exotic car", you now know it by the name "McLaren F1". Honda turned down the deal saying the horsepower & budget #s were unrealistic. BMW came in ahead of schedule (with said V12) UNDER BUDGET and even though horsepower #s were HIGHER than McLaren's goal weight was even less than requested. One a$$holes "imposible" is another man's "HOW HIGH!?" GM had a perfect opportunity to LEAD for once instaed of following.
  3. Sure it will still sell, plenty of crappy cars sell, the Camaro has a lot going for it. Still why not strive for near-perfection instead of the same old mediocrity?
  4. All the best bro. Happy B-day! Bench seats all around.
  5. How about most stairs climbed while chewing gum and saying the alphabet.... BACKWARDS!
  6. Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto....
  7. Chip & Dale are Buick fans.
  8. Wow... maybe it will meet up with Miss Belevedere someday. I love that car. What a rare, special piece of automotive history.
  9. This is why I have a love/hate ralationship with GM. Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!
  10. SpeedingPenguin is alright but the cleanest turbo dodge I've ever seen in my life is trashed like an Iraqi tank.
  11. Modern cars are heavy... air bags, computers and emissions B.S. are not made of helium.

    Dogs are fun, over the years I've become more of a cat person though.
  13. What the hell is a CHevy C2? Some Opel/Daewoo rebadge? I saw a dude that looked very ZZ-Top-ish in a flatblack & Von-Dutched '49 Ford today. Also saw a 1950? Chevy pickup. hunter green.
  14. That's a pretty stupid statement. If a pillarless hardtop with a full steel roof is unsafe than what the F&%$ do you call a ragtop? By your logic: = =
  15. Don't get me started.... Iniline sixes are a billion times better than V6s. I had a whole thread about this like three years ago. The 4.2 atlas should be the Camaro's base motor and a bi-turbo variant should be offered as a sort of poor-man's Nissan Skyline GT-R. (R34)
  16. See, there you go. I can understand increasing the size of the mirrors. That's a PRACTICAL safety concern, the concept's mirrors were like 2.5" x 4" in terms of glass surface area, not exactly realistic. But a B-pillar is way more of a lame cop out. At least in my opinion. Also the b-pillar will LIMIT visability. THUS DECREASING safety.
  17. I do not know what it is but if deleting the 451,631,780,362 page word association thread might help than DO IT. I get error 500 pages like 7 times in a row these days.
  18. The Camaro is WAY better looking, albeit also B-pillared. For $%^ shame. Agreed, but who cares about the first model year anyway... the only people to buy tyhem will be stupid yuppies with fat checkbooks who pay $12,000 over STICKER.
  19. Wow... it just keeps on coming. O'Shea (SpeedingPenguin) just wrecked his Daytona Shelby-Z this AM & a friend's relative was diagnosed with cancer. W T F ?
  20. The crossfire is just lame, the Aspen is a joke and the PT Cruiser would be relevant & probably a strong seller with all new & exciting skin. Drop the first two but do the PT Cruiser over in early-1930s retro skin.
  21. Cool.... I'd love to own that. I too was expecting a Chevelle sedan/Coupe.
  22. Cool.... I'd love to own that. I too was expecting a Chevelle sedan/Coupe.
  23. B-pillar of any sort = You want to SCCA race your 2010 Camaro Z/28? Put in a f@#kin' rollcage. You want a cheap assed 2dr post Musclecar? Buy a $hitty Mustang.
  24. Better than BULLSHIT But I agree.... the V should be only for V-series., Alphanumerics sucks plain & simple.
