Re: Should Chevy bring the Camaro back? a little competition mustangs suck and they are bringin them back both the camaro and the firebird everyone knows that
Re: Should Chevy bring the Camaro back? Chevrolet definately needs to bring the Camaro back. It would give them an extra boost in sales. Plus they are really fun to drive. Many people look at you in envy too. So, YES, Chevrolet needs to bring the Camaro back.
Re: How many seats does this car have? True that. No fatties are allowed to come within an arm's length of my SS.

Re: What (in your opinion) is the best muscle car ever built? My favorite muscle car is the 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350.
Re: its not nearly a shadow of its former self I do not agree with you on this. This car could beat any form of its old self.
Re: SLP Camaro SS If he would rev it up to 6000, he would have kicked your ass. The guy did not know how to drive it.
Re: I Have this Car but its a 69 I have a 2002 35th Anniversary Edition SS. It hauls ass and I've kicked many mustangs asses in it.
Re: What (in your opinion) is the best muscle car ever built? Dodge Charger, all the way. It might not be the fastest, but its a damn cool car.
Re: What (in your opinion) is the best muscle car ever built? The best Musclecar... hmm it's a very opinionated and loaded question, what is your requirement of "Best"??? Best looking would be a 1970 Pontiac GTO/455 Atol blue, and a white top... hmmm ya think I'm patial? your right I owned one, the best performing car would be 1968 Corvette L88, I consider that a sports car though, the most powerful (best) would undoubtedly be the 1967 Ford Cobra. Best handling would be a 1968 Camaro DZ, Z-28 It won so many many titles it's pathetic! And the most unique (Best) would be the 1969 and 1970 Dodge Superbird. Those damn Hemi's were tough. It was so fast, others cried FOUL in the circle track circuit. It was disqualified and discontinued only after those 2 years of being built. So in conclusion best is not just one thing. I love them all, but I am a Pontiac person, and GM. but don;t kid yourself there was no "bad" car in the late 60's ealy 70's The killer
