2010 Camaro flyer in mail today

[RLJ676]

The Challenger is definitely bigger than the Camaro, I don't see it but it's all good! :driving:

Anyone able to confirm if the new Camaro is in fact a Cadillac XLR?

I also heard a rumor Ford might release a Turbo V-6 for the Mustang? http://www.mustangblog.com/blog/1017584_ford-considering-new-twin-turbo-ecoboost-v6-for-2010-mustang

The Camaro and XLR have nothing to do with each other. The XLR is off a Vette platform. The Camaro is off the Zeta platform, which is used in Holden (Australia) for the G8, etc.

hell i would trade my boat for a couple of those

It did not dawn on me until I started seeing the new challenger around town just how short the hood is and how huge the bustle is. Even though I loved the prototype show car, I am starting to see a charger (which I don't like) every time I see a challenger.

Your comparo photos really bring it to the surface for me.

That Charger, Challenger and 300 all share the same architecture

Hey bro, missed this post somehow.. I consider that comment an honor from a man who not only has good taste but obviously not scared to push the envelope..

Thanks for clearing that up a bit..

??? For you since you mentioned Australia.. I keep hearing that the're built over there... However the car has made in Canada stamped all over it.. At the risk of sounding ignorant Where does Australia come into play ?? Was the design work done there ?? , Are they assembled over there ?? , Are they assembled in Canada ?? ect..ect.. Like I said maybe a dumb question & common knowledge but I am just courious..

Thanks, Scott

Since this is a Camaro thread & at the risk of jacking it some more (which are in no way my intentions) I am putting the finishing touches on a 95 for my nephew who turns 16 in january.. Its a pretty cool car for 1st car in my opinion.. Its only a V6 for the time being but it looks business to a teenager.. We done it in straight black & I put a charcoal pearl I mixed up for it on the hood & decklid as well.. The're pretty cool b/c they are pretty much ghosted in the shade & come out when its under light.. It also got a set of later model vette wheels on it as well

I think they are all sort of cool looking for modern day cars. IMO what makes the older muscle cars cool is the squeeks, rattles, rough ride and the badass exhaust note which new cars just don't have.

Your upgrades are classic. No bones about it.

Thanks BTW, Too bad we live 2500 miles apart, would have to go on a muscle car cruise. :driving:

I am installing 4 corner coil overs (Lowering it) and a Watts link now.

Most of the design work was done in Australia.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Sigma platform was a Holden deal right? So basically similar archetecture to the Holden Commadore/Monaro. Right?

Like Matt said most of the design (chassis, et) work was done in Australia, with quite a bit here and some suspension tuning I believe even in Europe. The styling I believe mostly came out of Detroit. It's built in Oshawa. The work done in Australia is because that's where the platform is based.

Ah sorry missed that part of your last post. Zeta not sigma... What can I say, I don't know much greek... :sifone:

Of the 3 new domestic hot rods I think the Chevy missed the mark. Maybe when they bring out the Z28 version it will change my mind. The Mustang/GT 500 cars look the best, followed by the SRT Challenger.

I would rather buy a used 06/07 Vette for the same money as a new Camaro if I wanted to stay with GM.

Me too....but make it an 08 vette with the LS3!

I don't need a back seat usually, so why drag one around all the time.:sifone:

he said Oshawa haha......

theres all kinds of them around here (imagine that)......I didnt like the styling when they first came out, thought they were a little too out there but they're def growing on me, Im liking them more and more all the time......

Is the rumor of them painting the doors off the car true? Local dealership is displaying w/ the doors open due to the paint difference.......

Saw the Camaro factory on ultimate factories on NTGEO channel tonight. Doors are painted on the car.
The car is built from sheet metal to drive out in 18 hours.
An interesting fact is the dash with all the assemblies in it weighs 450lbs and installs in about 30 seconds.

I'll have to watch it again lots of interesting info

I have a complete Camaro instrument panel sitting on my desk right now. 450lbs is a little on the high side.

I wouldn't be surprised, they spent most of the show talking about the red V6 car that was being built but kept showing a V8 engine, the installer was the one that mentioned the weight, it did have all the steering column and other assemblies that go through the firewall, pedals and so on.

Whats up with that?
