2014 camaro Z/28

b15 · 03-28-2013, 07:31 AM

Haha I wouldn't mind a GTR next to my Z.....and an LFA on the other side to complete the japanese trio

I never went for the Camaro's looks, and I wouldn't buy this one with the new platform right around the corner, just like I wouldn't buy a '14 mustang GT, either. I'd sit tight, wait it out a year, see what comes out, wait another year and see if it has some fatal flaws or not, and THEN make my decision. That's just me. We are in no-man's land right now for automobiles. Everyone is raiding parts-bins trying to slap together something to boost sales for the last 1-2 YM's of aging platforms.

Interesting. I have never experienced these reactions.

b1adesofcha0s · 03-28-2013, 08:50 AM

The people who think it's really expensive are the same people who think it's a Porsche....or people who can't afford one anyway. At least that's what I've experienced.

This car is a monster. Chevy is doing things right. They definitely deserve a round of applause for this.

The only thing I'm scratching my head on is the lack of Xenon lights. I'd take the extra few pounds to have those. Perhaps it will be an option though, we'll see.

m4a1mustang · 03-28-2013, 10:09 AM

My guess is they feel it's not necessary on a track-oriented car.

Could the new tail lights on the Camaro, be a hint of the next retro-generation Camaro? I think, if the camaro were to go retro again, The one bodystyle it would definitely work on is the 1982-1992 Chevy camaro. Reason being, it was a futuristic style. It's Pontiac twin had it's own show based on a futuristic car. From 1982-1985 only the mitsubishi conquest was as futuristic as the camaro and it really was the ONLY thing in GM aside from corvette that was groundbraking at the time.
The bodystyle of this generation camaro, would look futuristic again while having classic lines. Kind of how a 240z body lines make it easy for a retro-styled Z.

Not much exclusive owning a 370z in socal. You can see a 350 or 370z on the highway every couple minutes. Almost like thinking owning a truck in Texas is exclusive.

The take away from the Camaro refresh and Mustang updates is we get really screwed as 370z enthusiasts. Nissan makes tiny changes over a long lifecycle. Like someone else said, we have no direct competitor to push Nissan, but you would think the cheaper competitors would be pushing them. Such as the success of the BRZ/FRS and the evolution of the genesis. Hyundai updates at a very fast pace and they may just get it right next time.

I like this Hyundai HND-9 luxury sports coupe concept :-)
It looks kinda like a bigger 370z with Lambo doors.

I loved that concept when I saw it a few days back from every angle except the rear. If that was the new G-uh-Q coupe, it would be a hit.

They copied Nissan concepts down to the signature "Gun-Metallic" paint. First they were copying current cars to make the genesis coupes. Ok, didn't really bother me... Now they're copying concepts. Our concept was out 3 years ago. Copying concepts I think is a much bigger crime than copying the G35.

Hyundai is making enough money now to try to be more original.

If Nissan/Infiniti isn't smart/brave enough to build their own great looking concepts, I'm glad someone is.

Agree

I am super psyched about the new Z28!!!

I was afraid that the LS7 would die with the C6 Z06. I wonder if this means the NA 7-liter small black will live on!
