GM is walking away and they have no way of fixing the issues with the Camaro, unless they have a change of heart and do something soon. They gambled that they would sell more than they have, they invested a ton of money into the Camaro to sell 20k that wasn't in their business plan.
With the Brampton Plant just down the road from me they are making 250000 cars a year with the 300, Charger and Challenger they are keeping the Charger and Challenger in the public eye and making enough changes to keep buyers happy.
Now with the Direct Connection you can buy a Challenger, Charger and upgrade the HP right from the dealer and have a Warranty with Dodge covering any issues.
"the thought is, we know how to modify these cars, we’ve engineered them from the beginning,” said Kuniskis. “Let’s modify them for performance, certify them for emissions, and cover them under the warranty. The customer is going to do it anyway. They’re going to be okay with the warranty, and we don’t need any conflict with them if they have a problem, and lastly, they are safe from an emissions standpoint.”
"The fun begins with the Direct Connection Tuner, an OBD II engine tuner that lets customers download a variety of 50-state legal tunes straight from Dodge. These ECU tunes can be combined with a variety of the automaker’s new Stage Kits, which are pre-configured for Hellcat or Redeye models. The Pre-Stage Kit adds five horsepower to Hellcats and Redeyes by way of a recalibration, and gives Redeyes a new thermostat and air cleaner. The Stage 1 Kit for the Challenger Hellcat brings the 3.17-inch supercharger pulley from the Hellephant crate engine, which combines with a tune to raise output to 757 horsepower and 696 lb-ft of torque. The Redeye Stage 1 Kit brings new software as well, bumping output to 840 horsepower and 770 lb-ft in High Octane Mode."
Talking about going out with a bang! Maybe Ford will do something similar I can't see GM doing anything.
