Hey guys, I was thinking, did any one here think they would live to see the "horsepower wars" between the "BIG 3" start up again? I can't believe the power some of these new vehicles are making, and its not just GM, these engineers are really laying down some serious numbers. Hmmmm, might be time to go shopping, Jeff

The 2006 z06 and the new Cobra are out of control.

Adman, Don't forget the Viper. Ain't it great.

Personally, I think a Magnum Wagon would be a blast. Would love to see GM do something similiar with the 6.0 Vortec in a grocery hauler. Heck, I even think a 6.0 Vortech would be a great addition to an older Chevelle as a daily driver.

Bring back the Charger and Challenger, but I really love the concept, even the foor door looks really appealing to me for some reason. just give me a Hemi t56 and a nice diff and i'd get one.

Next year Dodge is coming out with a newer 6.0 liter 425hp HEMI. Thats the main reason I am waiting a year for my new truck. Saw a hemi magnum last night. Man that thing is amazingly cool. The salsesman said you just cant get your hands on them.

The 200(7)? camaro that is supposed to be back has a ton of ponies to it as well. I thought I read that they were going to put the LS2 into it and the new GTOs. The GTOs for 05 I believe are going to be 400 hp. Its a good day to be a car fanatic, I'm to young to fully appreciate the glory days but I will be fully aware of this hp war. GAME ON!!!!!!!!!! Jeff

2007, huh. Well, I might just have to save my nickles and dimes, and then have my no2 genius mechanic rig a system. Be fun to have a high 10 sec car with a Bose and A/C.

Gene,

There was a girl on the other side of me Sunday with a '00 -'01 red TramsAm ( it was Pontiac day at the Grove). Had a cam change, port work done on the heads and N20. Hoosier slicks and fronts, Full interior with rollcage. Full Exhaust. Car was not real radical.

Her dial in for first round - 10.99! Went 11.13 win against a red light. I left after the 1st round so don't know what she did later in the day. When she first pulled in, in the morning, I thought - what the heck is this all about. When I saw her first prelim run was 11.01, I felt inclined to ask for her advice!

I was recently reading in one of the monthly multitude of magazines that mysteriously finds its way to my mailbox that the camaro is on its way back ad I believe it said 07. Could be PHR, I think thats where I read it, 400 hp LS2 engine from the 05 vette going into it. It is very reminiscent of the 67-9 camaros, I think it'll be a nice ride. Have to start saving, my kids didn't want to go to college anyway, Heck my oldest doesn't even go to preschool yet, plenty of time to ruin there lives with cars, I mean save for them to go to college, right. Jeff

I have heard the same thing about the '07. That's when the contract is up with the Ontario Plant that was was under sole contract to buiold the F-body. Perfect timing, my kids will just have finished college. What will I ever do with all that disposable income????

Been there done that...see sig. Doesn't have the same feeling/sound a BBC has! Every time I get gas someone is talking to me for 5 mins!

The plant that build the last Camaro was in ST Therese Quebec Canada that plant was close down
BY GM ..( over 6000 local TWA lost there job..

It,s all about Money.. they will be looking at
opening the plant back for re tooling in mid 2005
and see if they can save the billion dollars paint shop the local Goverment of Quebec paid for..

It will be the only plant building the new Camaro
If they open there is posibility that it will go
to California ? they d'ont have the new paint platform and its a very old plant..

MY Dad gave GM 25 years of his life to this heart less Corporation thats all about money
and he still love the GM products..

I love it too

But they will never duplicate a 454LS6 Chevelle
or a 375 396 67 chevelle it's just history now !

accontrol, Almost all of the large American companies any more are run by greedy pocket stuffing A**hole thieves who get paid 100 times what they are worth while trying to steal every dime they can from the people who work for them and their stockholders. Thats why i don't feel the least bad when i buy a Toyota Pickup that is built in California, lasts for 10 years, trouble free and some of the money gets to someone with some integrity. I don't guess that there is any shortage of space in "hell", to which they will go as their final reward for their lifetime of lying and stealing. I'll just keep my old '67 Chevelle SS396-375 till i die.

Dear Mr Harold Sutton

yep and you got it.. Hell is real
