Bring back the z28

then overall we would win, as we now are.
I am confident our team can beat their team esp. if our guys get to see their's first. Yes, an IRS Mustang will be heavier than the current SRA car. However, I doubt Ford's next car will be flexy. They have tons of power avail in the 500 now, and whatever they build will harness that. They have been beat up too much regarding this as we have for weight. Our base V8's and track package cars should be lighter, even if just by a small amount. Let the customer add a bunch of weight in options if they want. If this is done then I feel our light and simpler kick butt, DI V8's will tip the balance to Camaro. again. |
:thumbsup:
Just a hypothetical I wanted to raise. :) The 5th gen is one of, if not the most structurally rigid chassis GM has ever produced. The Mustang doesn't even come close to this. And you can tell by the weight difference. If history repeated itself...with a smaller difference...I'd still be pretty happy. Especially if we end up on the ATS version of the Alpha platform...that formula can/will produce a 3300-3500 lb car. I4 => V8 |
paint quailty(currently BAD)
Digital gauges and spedo cluster folding mirrors with leds led taillights customizeable HUD optional factory performance options magnectic ride option on all v8&v6 models v6 twin turbo |
Wow some of you guys are quite unrealistic with your wish list.
I'd like to see a 6th gen SS with: - Less than 3600 lbs - LT1 - 7-speed manual w/rev matching - Brembo brakes - At least a 275 width tire - 1SS Base price of less than 35k The rest is just details. Hopefully that's not too much to ask. |
Don't let the legal department build the car!!!!
If its fast its bad ass, bad ass sells The only thing that irritates me unreasonably so is the cup holder. If you have a m6 they are useless. They need to be deeper so you can actually shift the car with a cup of coffee. |
make a camaro version of the "z07," package
more carbon fiber and/or stripper version make the car visually as/or more menacing than the '13 and newer gt500 racing seats better looking exhaust tips corvette exterior door handles launch control that will out launch any driver |

I seriously doubt that the 6th Gen Camaro will be significantly lighter than the 5th Gen Mustang. The V6 ATS is within 100lb's of the current Mustang so possibly 50-100 LBS's less for the Camaro (just guessing)... It's more than anything with the next gen's going to come down to a few things: 1. Fanboyism/Brand Loyalty 2. Which Car is Personally Better Looking/Fits the Buyer Better (Subjective Obviously) 3. Which is Cheaper |
Where do I start... Weight is obviously first, less than 3500lbs would be great. A functional sun visor would be nice. Factory paint with out nearly as much orange peel as on the 5th gens would be a really nice upgrade too.

I would alter your list, though...just a little: 1. Brand Loyalty 2. Design/Emotional connection 3. Value 4. 5. 6. 7. Cost. I do that only because sales seem indicate that people who have no brand loyalty (and even some who do) would rather buy the more expensive vehicle (Camaro), even without incentives, for one reason or another...I believe that reason to be entirely related to the design and feel of the car when driving. If Chevy does a good job again, like they did with this car...cost will have less to do with it than we all would tend to think it does. |
Higher roofline would be nice.

1. LCD gauge cluster
2. ~3500 lb target weight 3. Steering wheel - smaller, race inspired, natural hand position at 9 and 3. 4. More headroom! 5. Exhaust sound. I should make people drool. |
Put the Z06 in the base SS
More durable paint I have a sun roof - I wish I had more head room for my helmet. When making laps at the track I have to put my seat into a really strange position. I am certain that makes my laps inconsistent. If I had known, I would not have gotten a sunroof. Lose about 350lbs? I like the looks, don't mind the rear view, gun slit side windows work for me, the lighting is great, and I only have to deal with my passengers complaints about the visors - I own sunglasses! |
