I'm a GM man, so I like the Camaro.
I've been in the Challenger, and the interior is straight out of the Charger. Lots of plastic. The Mustnag to me looks too much like the previous year model, but I do like the interior on the Mustang, and the fact it's a little lighter than the Camaro.
The Camaro SS has the same engine as my car, the 6.2L LS3, just slightly detuned. If it pulls as hard as my car does, I would lean heavily toward the Camaro.

Everytime I see a caddy XLR I think its a Camaro and I turn my head real fast :lol: (http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn214/LBCboi/XLR.jpg)

The XLR is too underpowered. It's on the Corvette platform, just detuned. Very nice interiors.
They depreciate SUPER fast.

I meant the one with the vette motor like they do in the CTS
-
They offer two engines: 4.6 L Northstar V8 and the 4.4 L Northstar SC V8.
The production on this car ends this spring. They don't sell well at all. They only sold 1280 in 2008.

good info :thumbs:

Now I know what you're talking about. It just hit me. They DO make a supercharged version called the XLR-V. It's a 4.4L Northstar Supercharged, and it's well over $100K.
It's a different engine than the ZR1. The ZR1's power plant is a 6.2L Supercharged V8. For $100K, I'd rather have the ZR1 with the Brembo brakes and carbon fiber body!

yea thats what i was talkin bout

I'm a mustang guy. They don't start as much from the showroom, but they have so much aftermarket potential with every model since 1979.
My '86 5.0 GT had 225 HP from the factory, and with with my 331 stroker it was easily 450hp. It's surely not the prettiest, nor the highest potential if you had unlimited $$$, but for the average Joe with some greenbacks to burn on their car, it's a great option.
IMO, muscle cars started from guys tinkering with mid-level cars and making them quick, the factories paid attention and started outputting greater potential cars. The Mustang (even though technically not a muscle car) carries on that tradition well.

so lets take a 420 hp car thats not even a production model
and compare it to cars with around 300 hp
great comparison :rolleyes:
-
They're probably trying to be the first to do a comparo. A more fair comparison will have to wait until one of the mags get all of them in one place. It would be cool if the Camaro is offered with something similar to the drag pack, whatever it's called, like the Dodge is offering, or some kind of stripper model for the go-fast crowd. huh-huh, stripper model. Too bad those cars weigh so stinking much.
-
saw a new Camaro in Detroit Saturday (Casino Parking Garage)
-
I've yet to see one up close.
It was probably a pre production model (GM Exec). I haven't heard of any dealer getting one yet.

I have been lurking on the www.camaro5.com website and they have tons of information there.
including all the first vin numbers and the locations on where they are going.
i guess a couple of the enginers and developers are members and leak out a lot of information.
and bryan there is a couple of dealers with production camaros available for sales training.
-
their is even some videos on how to use the stereo and other features
-
Nice find man!
