Retro sells. They'll have lots of older guys buying stuff that looked like the cars they used to have and you'll have a lot of young pretenders that like to think they lived in the good 'ole days as well. And another reason is that retro(when done right) looks good. I'd much rather see retro stuff coming out for pony cars other than some European designer's idea of what the new Camaro should look like. It's going to be much more expensive than the 4th gen Camaros were also. But I still don't expect it to have 400hp from the factory. Chevy is really weird about what they'll let compare to their Vette. They cancelled the Grand National because it got too fast, and the Syclone/Typhoon trucks came pretty close too so GM took those out to pasture. I'm guessing in the neighborhood of 345/350 as the Camaro over the past few decades has assumed the Corvette's old power figures when a new model was introduced.

I dont like the way that looks very much but I do love ls powered f-bodies and vettes. SOOOO much fun to drive and I cant wait until my insurance goes down in a few years so I can own a vette myself.
And ya'll are right about gm being weird about anything comparing to the vette. They always rated the f-bodies lower in hp even tho on the dyno they made the same amount of power. Funny it wasn't until the goat and the CTS-V came out that gm allowed the "hp rating" to be the same as the vette.Last edited by koolkoreanked; 04-24-2006, 11:28 PM.Oil leak?What oil leak?
