Muscle: That's the first word that comes to mind upon seeing Chevy's concept Camaro. Big-time muscle. Enough to possibly make Arnold think about switching allegiances within the GM family. Build it and they will come; drop the 500-plus-bhp Corvette Z06 engine into a Z28 version and name your price.

Andrew Bornhop, Editor, R&T Specials, provides the insightful commentary to the accompanying video. Among the numerous bits of info, Bornhop reports that the new Camaro could launch as a 2009 model. AARRGGHH! We can't wait that long! Mr. Lutz: Commit to a 2008 model launch and watch the buyers line up.

Look for a full report from Detroit Editor Matt DeLorenzo in the March 2006 issue of Road & Track.







What's everyone think?

 

 

Nice to see the ponycar wars heating up again. Wondered how long Chevy and Dodge would let the new Mustang soak up sales

 

The front end looks a lot like one on my old man's '70 Cadillac Edorado.

 

sign me up for a black one with deep window tint

 

I know its not..but it looks huge..lol...looks fast...if they build it....i hope they keep it the way it is there..

 

Wow, that is sex on wheels. If GM promises to build it, I'll stop thinking about trading the truck on a new Challenger.

 

 

You know if GM ever decieds to starting making the Camaro again, it will never look like the concept version. I never understood why they show off the concept and never build it to look like it.

 

U stole my Line lol, but I think it is too expensive looking...

It kind of looks like a combination of the Cadillac uh.... XLR I think thats the one.. And a new mustang ...

Edit.... (Hopefully I dont get introuble for these links)
