I don't care at all for the looks of that Mustang, looks too rice for me. Now that Camaro or that Challenger...Well I like, especially the 6.1 Hemi with a pistol grip 6 speed. Now we are talking!

I'd buy the Challenger in a heart beat.
The Camaro shown in the drawing looks nothing like the true concept car that will be released to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in january.

Jesus, I wish I had a warehouse garage and Oprah's money. That challenger looks sweet.
A1990, You are right, its from that damn ricer game NFSU2. It has a ricer oriented theme.
Jeff, You are right, I mentioned its accuracy in an earlier post.

Is not saying anything a admission of guilt? ;)

Whoa whoa whoa hold on,... I was just agreeing to the fact that the artists rendition has a overwhelming possibility of being WAY off from GM's actual product. You actually HAVE a picture? or a based on fact rendition??
Jeff, At this point, not showing us would just be so utterly wrong, explaining it to St. Peter is going to take a couple months at least!! Do us and yourself a favor by coughing up the goods!!

I'm sorry guys, I can't. All I can say is at the Detroit Auto show, there will be a rear wheel drive 2 coupe that will be the succesor to the Camaro throne.

So its not really going to be a "Camaro"? Built on a different platform maybe?
Tell us this...Think we'll be disappointed?

Speaking of Mopars. I rented a Charger a few weeks ago. What a dissapointment that was! The car was nice, had the 3.5 HO engine. Ran great and strong. BUT.... the handling was the worst I've driven in many years. It felt like I was in a big boat when going around a corner, if there was a slight bump in the middle of the corner I would end up in the next lane. Hitting slight bumps on a straight road it felt like I was in a roller coaster bouncing me from seat to hitting the roof. I have rented many different cars in the same area and driven the same roads/highways with them with no problems like this.
OTOH, the new Challenger looks very nice. Can't wait to try it out :mrgreen:

Jeeze SU ..... I hope it rides better than the charger!!! i think the charger is ugly and a disgrace to its herritage!!! reminds me of the 4 door Grand Prix only worse....The gto is not so great but at least it looks sporty a bit!!! If ur goona bring a muscle car name back out than it should at least be like the new stang...a tribute to its proud herritage...not a joke...it will be interesting to see how the camero and challenger fair!!! so far im not impressed with the camero pic's...the challenger does look like a grand slam...maybe!!!

looks good so far Jeffery, will be interesting to see how the public reacts to it...i hope for gm's sake it goes as well as the stang did for ford...lord knows the General could use another grand slam like the c6 and c6z06 after a lackluster result from the gto (they should have not tried to use the Holden body but developed a fresh new look like the vette and this camero. i still am in a quandry as to why all the sharp lines these days...after 20 years of the soft euro look with taurus intro by the blue oval gang 20 yrs ago i guess soft curves are out for now..good thing we still like em on our women...lol)

I agree with you about the Charger, I was just expecting more that it was. I think they are all trying to do what the Mustang did, nobody has been successful yet! The Challenger might just do it, if the car turns out like the prototype. The GTO is a joke, not sure what brain dead sob thought that car is a GTO.
