Ya, good idea. I guess when we know the weight of it we can make some good guesses about the performance at least. Of the top of my head, I think that engine has about 260hp (on the SKY)... so that could be respectable.

Correction, it's an announcement of an unveiling and I think they've only been talking about it for 3 years, which is pretty much how long it takes to make a car happen at most car companies... most of them just don't talk about it in the early stages.

Yup, bad timing indeed. What do you think about the small Camaro idea? I know it's not the traditional idea of a Camaro, but cars are not going to stay traditional for long.

So they show us pictures, then what....another 8-10 months before they actually sell them?

Toyota did the SAME thing with their oversized Toyota Tundra....its not like GM was the only one focused on trucks.

the reason they don't talk about it as much is because nothing has garnered this much attention, or is as popular.

Production starts later this year, on sale early 09.

Closer to 7 months. I'd guess you'll be able to place orders by late fall, though - so you'll have to know what you're ordering. And they are only doing this because there is the interest for it. The enthusiast community (and the Camaro community in particular) has been begging and demanding to know this stuff. If there weren't any interest, they wouldn't do it. Chevy does us a favor by doing a public webcast of the reveal of the production details of the car for those of us who are interested and all people can do is gripe about the car not being here yet.

If GM weren't putting out any info, everyone would be griping about how "there's no info on Camaro. Oh Noes! It was probably teh cancelled!"

They've taken so long to get this thing ready that the chassis will be out dated before it debuts.

5 years? This car hasn't been talked about for 5 years. January 2006 to January 2009 is 3 years. You may not care about this car, but quite a few others do. And, considering it isn't a 70's body thrown onto a full-size sedan chassis which was largely an outdated, previous generation design by Mercedes with a full-size truck motor thrown in it like the (not so much of a) Challenger, I think just under 3 years for a completely new car is pretty good.

How much were Mustang Sales DOWN in June? How much MORE will Camaro cost than Mustang? What will be the EPA MPG rating for Camaro? Yes the timing sucks! Too little to late again GM!

You can't blame GM for this one. The fuel prices have taken everyone by surprise. Toyota got screwed with their new pickup too. Maybe the Camaro V6 will be more popular than estimated.

The negativity on this board is getting ridiculus---it's no wonder that alot of faithfull posters are no longer here.

Enough of this too little too late BS--give GM credit for bringing back the Camaro under the current economic conditons. Be glad that GM is still making some cars with a soul along with their bread and butter appliances.

How many years old is the current design? How much will sales go up when the new 2010 debuts with more fuel efficient engines?

A handful of dollars a month.

Best in class.

What were the best sales years ever for the Camaro? The mid to late 70s and early 80s which if you'll remember were a horrible recession and gas crunch. And that was a 10 year old design at the time. Let's wait and see what happens before we kill the car...there's a lot of pent up demand out there!

Huh? Wha? I though the Camaro came out years ago. Oh wait, it just FEELS that way.

Yup, it came out two years ago along with The Dark Knight and the iPhone 3G.
