I would NEVER buy the new Camaro. I'll just settle for a 6.0 GTO. I'd rather have that then that Camaro.


Trans Ams FTW!!!!!!!

I've always loved the ponchos, i would think that even with minor tweaks like the 4th gens were...i bet they'd do awesome.

I'd take a TA over a Camaro anyday, however I really hope GM doesn't spend the money to compete with itself. That'd be yet another bonehead move on their part if they did.

As it stands, its gona be a hard choice - Camaro or stay Pontiac and get the G8.

I saw that a couple weeks ago. It looks too Corvette-ish IMHO.

its to widen its range of consumers.... not compete with its self, but the smart way to do that is build 1 T/A for every 5 camaros but T/A only no fb or formulas but that would make T/A prices much higher

bubba428 12-11-2007 07:52 PM

I think the intention of GM is to bring back the bird after they see how the camaro is received. Who knows? Maybe these photoshops could be strait from GM? may its a way to test the waters to see how a firebird would sell

Firebird67dude 12-11-2007 08:13 PM

I'd take a beat up smashed third gen over that new Camaro. I guess I'm a pontiac guy huh? Even if the made a new T/A. wouldn't be able to drive it. IDT that it would take nicely to the sand.

bubba428 12-11-2007 08:29 PM

my V6 got though 18in of mud lol

No, it wouldnt widen anything. One eats off the others budget. Example
Lets say Camaro is by itself. It needs to get a refresh to stay ahead. Well, they have 1 million to do that. They spend that 1 million to make it better, w00t!!
Now, Camaro and Firebird. Take that same million, cut it in half, get two warmed up versions of last years, both enhancements not meeting what the public wanted, and failure.
The market is only so many units strong. Its not like people are jumping out of Camrys, Accords, Tahoes and Explorers to get a coupe, be it Mustang, Camaro, Challenger or anything...
Higher price Firebird? People were bitching and moaning about a 32k FOUR HUNDRED HORSE POWER LUXURY GTO....

No, its not.
If there is ever a 2 door RWD coupe, it will be much smaller, and probably not cary a V8. GM will not make the Firebird for a handful of reason.
Pontiac's image will not include a Trans Am Firebird type car. GTO? Maybe. RWD G6? Yeah. Solstice coupe? Possible...

BigAl, you crushed my dreams. ::sniffle sniffle:: Damn you!!! Damn you to hell!!!!!

LOL

He's absolutely right, though.

BigAls87Z28 12-15-2007 09:29 AM

Sorry Tim, but maybe a turbo Solstice targa will quench your thirst? RWD G6 coupe with a 3.6 DI might do it too...either one will probably have 300hp.

bubba428 12-15-2007 12:28 PM

maybe some aftermarket place will come out with a 5th gen T/A body kit :lol:

you've got a much better chance of this happening than GM making one.

p.s. the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. how many times is this post going to resurface, only to have the same exact answer? half of you are drooling over the cartoon, the other half are telling you why it will never happen. listen to reason. no matter how much you beg, plead and bargain, it will not be built. move on, already. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't bother with a kit though. If I was going to buy a new camaro it would be cause I wanted a camaro.
