Title: 2016 Camaro
Post by: lakeholme on May 15, 2015, 08:19:00 PM: CNBC has a video out with Dan Ammann doing a test drive of the new Camaro. Also, some pictures of an undisguised one. Petty cool. I believe the reveal is today... Whoops, make that tomorrow. ;D
Anyone going to Detroit for the unveiling?

Post by: z28z11 on May 15, 2015, 10:37:16 PM: I'll have to wait a bit to look at the 2016's - I can't get this 2015 out of my mind yet.

On the floor at a local dealer - note the front fender emblems. Whipple supercharged COPO, 350/3 speed auto, deadliest looking Camaro I have witnessed in a while. Drop dead gorgeous if I do say so -

I offered several first generations in trade, but they are holding firm at $150K cash and out the door. Tremendous drool factor involved here -

Regards,
Steve

Title: Re: 2016 Camaro
Post by: z28z11 on May 15, 2015, 11:02:22 PM: Correct - sold on a bill-of-sale, not capable of registration. Interesting letter in the window - I'll have to copy it off and post.

I looked at ZL-1's locally a while back. They make a lot of sense over the COPO, but for some reason this thing just gets to you on sight. I was not ready for how this thing just rivets your attention when you see it -

Regards,
Steve

Car is at Stan McNabb Chevrolet, Tullahoma, TN if someone wants to go buy it - take your cash -

Post by: lakeholme on May 17, 2015, 01:59:14 AM: Looks to me like GM is trying to move into the new buyer market with the 2016, COPOs not withstanding. There is even going to be another four banger.

Post by: cook_dw on May 17, 2015, 02:37:22 PM: Ill take my SS, ZL1, Z28, COPO in blue.. (http://e.vampirefreaks.com/emotes/drool.gif?1f)

Curious to see what options will be avaliable as well as if there are going to be any new paint choices. I really like it and the new Mustang. Both are great looking cars..

Post by: BULLITT65 on May 17, 2015, 04:17:04 PM: I'm glad they were able to cut some more weight out of it, but I will be looking forward to a retro face lift. The bottom grill with the SS emblem is a bit distracting for me. :-\
Title: Re: 2016 Camaro
Post by: cook_dw on May 17, 2015, 04:49:01 PM: If it were me the SS model would get the bowties dropped and the SS emblems in their places.. To me the bowties are the distracting focal point.. Also glad they refined the heat extractors from the 2015 model.. I was not a fan of it.. (http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/g/gross-631.gif)

Especially when the bowtie is reversed, like that one!
Title: Re: 2016 Camaro
Post by: lakeholme on May 23, 2015, 11:48:35 AM: Bowtie is front and rear... Chevy is pushing the brand and looking for the new buyer market....
Title: Re: 2016 Camaro
Post by: BillOhio on May 24, 2015, 12:53:28 AM: I thought the tail lights on the 14-15 looked like they were off an old acura integra. new ones do look better

The new grad marketing types hired by Chevy over the past 20 yrs know almost nothing about Chevrolet, Corvette, Camaro, or high performance history of the brand!
