I was really excited when the new Camaro was introduced.....when was the first time I saw it again? Oh yeah, 3 or 4 YEARS ago! Hell, it stared in a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE a year ago! It is almost getting stale already.

I am VERY sorry to say that if the new Camaro was introduced in the next few months and I had $40,000 laying around.....I would MOST LIKELY buy a Challenger SRT8. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

The Challenger looks much cleaner, the interior, although Dodge boring, seems much nicer in photos, and the SRT8 engine I drive quite often in the wife's car.....Chevy has a way to go to beat it IMHO.....


We will see......

I think the Challenger is great, however IMHO apples and oranges here. A Z28 will likely be 25-30k and will likely accelerate, handle and brake better, not to mention get better gas milage. If I had 40k to spend it would be difficult not to get an LS3 C6 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah the price is steeper, but maybe not too much more than the future "upgraded" Camaro models. Dodge is coming out with the top of the line BEFORE the regular car, unlike Chevy....I would wait and see how they compare performance wise though.....IF the Camaro was as big a performer as you say, it would blunt some of the "pain"...

I wrote a letter to the SCCA about a "rebirth" of the Trans-Am series using the new crop of ponycars with rules similar to the speed GT series. Slot it right in between the GT and Touring cars. I'd watch it! Of course you know how it goes with writing letters to the SCCA!

Won't happen anytime soon. SCCA wants rediculous amounts of money (and manufacture commitments) to make Trans Am happen again (as a in the 60's and 70s...not tube frame). If people would start building them for American Sedan or Iron you might see some more interest. Unfortunatley the knuckle draggers in Asedan feel that allowing new technology ie 350 engines and independant suspensions is wrong. They are/were lettting the T2 cars run this year at 3600 lbs and a stock motor just to see how well they burn up brakes.

Look what trans am could be...GTO, CTSV, G8, Challenger, Camaro, 350Z, Mustang who has interest in that...

GTO, Challenger, and Caddy are to porky and just to big without weight breaks. I light car might weight in at 3400 lbs starting from BIW.

Grand AM (Koni Challenge) already has the formula and someone else has the name (Not SCCA) and the two shall never meet.
