The previous camaros/firebirds were made in canada, and it didn't help them.

The one in transformers wasn't even a real Camaro. It was a GTO converted to look like a Camaro. Saleen did the work. GM wouldn't give them a real Camaro (since they were all prototypes at the time) to do the movie.
This pace car is going to be worth a LOT because it will be the only run of the Camaros! :D LOL |
I don't really like the Camaro. Saw it at the DC Auto Show a few weeks ago and don't think it looks very good up close and in person.
It's almost... tacky? I think the new Mustang looks better... Challenger, too (even though the Challenger looks like a fat pig). |

Traded in my 06 GTO for my 370Z. The best thing about the car was the awesome LS2 engine. Worst thing about the car was the boat like suspension. All that power and torque and the thing cornered like a greyhound bus. Even the magazines loved the muscle under the hood, but all said it seriously was lacking in the handling department. Also for some reason they sold the car with 235's all around. And there wasn't much room to go bigger. 400hp/400tqft + 235 tires = horrible traction problem. Now I have to hand it to GM's Australian Holden devision because my GTO was solid as a rock. 3.5 years of light abuse and it never squeaked, never knocked, nothing. I might of just got lucky though.

Camaro sucks.
Mustang will continue to be my choice of American muscle. I love my car, and I cannot wait until the 5.0 makes a return in 2011. The 5.0 is going to be the nail in the coffin for GM. Its going to perform better, handle better, and brake better. GM will not be able to respond in their current financial situation which shows no signs of getting better anytime soon. |

Where do you get these grand schemes that the Mustang will suddenly be any better than it is now, other than power? And thats IF the 5.0 comes out! Get out of here lol. Good thing the current 4.6 still isn't putting down as much horsepower as 1997's LS1... The best thing they had going was the Terminators - should have never stopped that concept. |
The GTOs were made well. I'll give them that. I have a few friends with GTOs. But you're right, they suck for handling, they're heavy, and the small tires are pretty lame. One of my friends has 275's on the back and Nitto NT-01s all around. Of course, they still break loose like crazy, especially since he's running twin turbos. But aside from that, it wasn't a bad car.
(Although it was stupid to have 2 3rd eye brake lights. LOL) |
