I am really lost as to the discussion here... Its been confirmed that the car WILL BE much lighter. And, technology moves on;regardless. So it sounds like a "have your cake and eat too" scenario. I want the HUD, MRC, Memory Seating, ambient lighting, etc... GM is going to do all that PLUS shed 200lbs. Im failing to see the issue, I guess??? Sounds like a dream come true, to me?

Although GM is making the car lighter, do you think the LT1 will also have more power than the Corvette's version? Ford is making over 520 on their 5.2, if GM can produce 500hp with their 6.2 NA and lighter car, you don't need F/I.

I wish there was a "LIKE" button (kinda like Facebook). I love reading the comments and I learn a lot from all the information. Looking forward to the gen6 Camaro. Now...

I want the 6 th gen with the LT1 engine, an 8L90 and the shocks off the fifth gen z28.
Power windows and locks, blue tooth and some type of BMW like fake leather seating material with excellent lateral bolstering .....maybe heated seats and a d shaped steering wheel... Price that car right with the LT1 v8 and we're good to go.. Sounds like a BMW M4 killer for 3/5ths the price.

.................................soon!............ .............................. (.......sorry couldn't resist......................) Enjoy this time for what it is - a time for people to discuss their wants and needs -- (but please keep it respectable....) There will - there WILL ....be great rejoicing and excitement on the 16th of May. Nearly all will love what they see in person. That said, there will be a few that see pics and won't like: >The backup lights (5th gen) >The B pillar (5th gen) >The difference in fascias (5th gen) >The steering wheel (5th gen) >The wheels (5th gen) ............or some other part or component -- .........................and that's not a bad thing if it's driven by passion. And 99% of the people on this site are driven by passion for the product. (....there IS that 1% who are terminally grumpy and grouchy, but we love you anyway!..........) By the way - that list above? HUGE controversy on those items on the 5th gen when it first came out....that's why I have '5th gen' after each item -- it was controversial beyond belief......and yet people embraced the car once they saw it in person (and most embraced it when they saw it in pictures) Rest assured that Team Camaro never sleeps and always sweats the details. Every decision is agonized over and decisions are made based on customer feedback. (you may not like something, but a bunch more might like it....) Al, Cheryl, Jim, Todd, and hundreds upon hundreds of others put their all into these muscular automobiles - and I think you'll see that we've addressed what 99% of you have asked us to.......... Now - enjoy the conversation - keep it polite - and enjoy the time in which we find ourselves!!!! IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A CAMARO ENTHUSIAST!!!!

Let me have a bare bones no excuse pushrod v8 muscle car with manual seats windows mirrors and no ac.. Buying a camaro and ordering heating/cooled power seats with memory seems odd to me. Keep those things in the cadillac please..
But who the hell cares at this moment.. We've just been confirmed a 200 pounds or more reduction in CURB WEIGHT.. Thats just cool! |

They could offer 550HP for $35K, but if it looked bad you wouldn't see me in it.

There are plenty of better looking interiors in cars much cheaper than the 5th gen. That said, all of the new GM interiors I have seen are worlds better than in the past. Better looking interiors do not mean bloat and higher cost, inflation equals higher cost I'm struggling with what you mean by "world car" clutter. The Mustang got fat because they joined the 21st century by switching to a IRS. It is still lighter than the 5th gen, so where is all this "clutter" making a difference? It seems to me you think the 1SS will have a lot of upgrades we have been discussing. I seriously doubt it, both the base Mustang and Camaro are pretty well stripped for those who want that. Now you are going to get stripped and 200lbs lighter. If you want more, buy the 1SS and strip out the interior. Enough said, no need of acting like everyone wants that and Chevy is saying losing their direction. Also keep in mind, muscle cars in the 60s ranged from bench seat barebones to AC, power windows, cruise control, premium dashes and materials cars. Having a loaded muscle car is nothing new.

Like they have said in the past it all comes down to cost and wants. If the bulk of buyers want it they will make it happen (as they have in the past) but if they can't make it happen for a price that people are willing to pay then it's a matter of what do we give up to get it. That's where these things get harder to justify as this car is very different then an Impala or Cruze and their customers wants.

My mind is a little fuzzy on this but maybe someone else remembers that before the 5th gen was released didn't they say that the V6 would be at least 300HP and the SS would be at least 400HP?
