New F-Body

[Damn True]

The company I work for does a lot of business with GM & Toyota and at an open-house today at my office I had the chance to speak with a production eng. from GM.

I said to him: When you get back to Detroit, I'd appreciate it if you could tell every exec you meet that they NEED to re-introduce the Camaro.

His response was: "Don't worry, it's already happening, and it is gonna freakin rock!"

The fire in this guys eyes when we started talking about the car was amazing. I really got the sense that this project has a very high priority at GM. He apparently wasn't too thrilled with the GTO and was amazed that I disagreed (I think they nailed it) and he said that the new F-body is going to make the GTO seem like a Cavelier by comparison.

If that's the case, I might as well rack up the miles on my '02 SS!

I've heard some other GM insiders say that we should be pleasantly surprised in another 2 years or so.

I'll start rolling my pennies until then.... :bsjerk: hopefully they arent just jerkin us around like before....

[PonchoJohn]

Let's hope it is true, and that it will be an F-Body PLATFORM, not just a Camaro. I would really like to own another generation of Trans Am.

[Damn True]

I dunno. The word "Firebird" has such a mullet stigma attached to it with many people, it would have to be quite a departure from what we are used to in order to overcome that. They may do a T/A though, who knows at this point.

if they bring back the Camaro or Firebird they so need to spoof the mopar "hemi guys" with some mullet guy in a 1980 z28 with some slapper bars and glasspacks

Hope it is not as awful as the 70 1/2-02 camaros oh and the 67-68's I never did really like those "off" years.

I emailed a friend that works in GMSPO to see if he can share any info...

If they make one I will buy on for sure.

if its rear wheel drive, v8, 350 or more horsepower, available with a manual, and good lookin, i'll buy one.

if not, i'll probably just lease...

They better do something good... Ford's Kicking some serious musclecar *SS with their awesome 05 Mustang GT. After the let-down a few months ago I'm not going to hold my breath.

I have no knowledge of any car called 'Camaro' being designed at GM.

However....if you've never paid much attention to the North American International Auto Show that's held in Detroit in January, I would pay attention this year. Should be a great show.

You never know what surprises may surface there.

I know I'm partial to Trans ams but MULLET!? I think that's the Camaro's stigma (not the 1st gen though) but I'll admit the disco stigma of the T/A

The new GTO already looks like a Cavelier.:icon_razz

Dammit, Trapin knows all about it... someone get him drunk and make him give up the goods!!
