yup.. ;(

That really is sad. There'S plant not far from where I live that made Camaro/TA.. And they're closing it down..

Several attempts were made to keep it alive, but I guess it just isnt in demand anymore.

abc 09-27-2002 08:54 PM

The camaro might come back but it's unlikely and if it does not for a few years.

abc 09-27-2002 09:18 PM

I tought that plant was gona be reused for like the SSR or something

GirlRacer 09-28-2002 12:52 PM

gimmick
 
I can't believe they actually went through with the discontinuation. I honestly figured they were just using it as some sort of gimmick to sell a huge amount in a small amount of time.
There was some other vehicle that did that...some kind of truck I think...can't remember which though.
Did you see how much the very last camaro ever made went for? I never saw the final selling price, but I bet it was UP THERE.

Racing Rice 09-29-2002 12:14 PM

Yeah, Im kinda surprised they actually did stop making them also. What do they have now besides the Corvette? Not everyone can afford one of those. :no: They sissyfied the Impala;( Theres nothing "sports car like" besides the rather expensive Corvette. That just doesnt make sense to me.

No camaro, trans am, Firebird.. hmm.. guess Ill just have to settle for a Cavalier.:crazy:

GirlRacer 09-29-2002 01:29 PM

Noooooo
 
:pukey Nooooo one should settle for a cavalier, good lord those cars SUCK! They are like BOTTOM of the line to say the least...:no:

Great.... so it starts right back up again. Pesonally i have seen numerous Z's get stomp by built up imports. Almost makes me be determined to by an import for the available speed and still the goo on gas.

No, the last FBody came off the production line at the end of August. GM says it wasn't selling, but the inside track that I've heard is that the new Federal crash requirements for 2003 would have required redesigning the windshield/upper cockpit area.

I think we will see a new one, all redesigned. :yes:

Niacin 09-30-2002 03:02 PM

I'm...not so positive. The Impala, Monte Carlo and Malibu were all full-size, haul-ass musclecars, and they all came back as neutered anemic 6cyl front drivers. GM may launch a new Camaro, with a new design and new powerplants, but I think the straight-line only approach of the FBody platform is dead, evolved out of existence by the 'do everything well, excel at nothing' approach of Mustang, S2000 and Eclipse.

Or, I'm desperately trying to persuade me to go buy an M3. :)

ChrisCantSkate 09-30-2002 04:47 PM

m3's are nice... wait a few years and get a 2003 when the price drops on them

GirlRacer 09-30-2002 05:28 PM

:yes: Those are nice! My dad has been trying to find me a Matrix from an insurance pool, or one that's been totalled. Then we can get it for cheap and rebuild it. ;)

GirlRacer 09-30-2002 07:21 PM

:no: Omg, that's not very nice...

Not enough sales. That makes me wonder what chevy will do. Maybe the Cavalier will be the new chevy flagship lol.

:D 383's? Where did that come from? :pfft:

FAST97WS6 11-02-2002 06:37 PM

i'm just saying not all camaros are slow.....you never know what your up agaisnt, yeah thos v6 3800's are slow as balls, but some f-bodies, will suprise you, my car looks pretty stock, auctally, unless you look inside, or under the hood, or at the 295 rear tires, you'd think its a normal car, but its alittle bit faster, nice kill tho!

DomesticImport 11-10-2002 01:43 PM

stock v6 Birds/camaros have 135HP.. not very much, in fact its exactly the same HP as my honda accord. the accord is slightly faster than my bird because of weight ratio. also thirdgen camaros are older cars so they also loose horsepower as they rack up the miles on the engine

GirlRacer 11-10-2002 02:45 PM

Awwww, c'mon man! Why you gotta ruin my moment like that? :paranoid:
My car has 108 stock horsepower and not much more w/the adjustments I've made. Gimme some credit eh??:pfft:

depends on what year mustang it is... like the firebird and camaro v6's with 135HP are thirdgens (80's)... like in my sig. And a 1989 Trans am has 170 stock HP wich is a V8 i got this car too but its not pretty

a newer mustang v6 has around 193HP

a thirdgen 1986 mustang v6 has 120, the 8 cyl has 200 . it varies from year to year

Why is everyone so surprised they stopped making the Camaro? It's actually a smart move on GM's part. They are gonna get everyone to miss it and come back out with it again in 04-05. Although, when it comes back out, it will be more of the older design. It will be more boxy like the old ones but not sure on power or engines for it yet. My cousin works for GM.

hehe, I actually own an import. It was just funny because I also own a Camaro. Who said it was a Z though? Trust me, it won't lose to an import. The mod list is by far, longer than FAST97WS6's although his car sounds pretty pimp.

GirlRacer 11-21-2002 07:08 AM

GROSS!
 
They're gonna come back out all boxy again? I HATED that body style. :pukey :no:

What are you talking about???? 60's were there best years...BY FAR!!

GirlRacer 11-22-2002 07:13 AM

Just my opinion...I just like the sleek aerodynamic look better. I think it's smarter anyway isn't it? For speed? :yes:
