Mustang Shumstang.... Check out the concept for the next camaro. (http://www.thecarconnection.com/scrapbook.asp?q=2006+chevrolet+camaro+concept) It looks like they are going for as retro of a look as the `05 Mustang went for. I don`t know if I like it or not, but it is a camaro, so I`m sure it is smooooooooth. :naughty :rockon

I read in Car & Driver that there might be an SRT8 version with 500 horsies under the hood :rockon

Someone did a post about it on another forum.
Sweet looking car, I just don`t care for the pointed nose. Love the rest of it.

I`m pretty sure that is at least an 07` design because the 06`s are already out. ;)

Actually that concept is billed as an `09 in all the literature I`ve seen on it; they`re saying a new camaro is expected in production for 2009. Not a bad choice if you ask me; the 40th anniversary of the `69, the best looking camaro ever made!
Oh, and I`ll let you know how smooth it is after I hit up NAIAS and see it in person :cool:

that wont happen because the FORD gt which is currently Fords Company pace car has 550 HP. Which means that if the SHELBY GT500 had 500Hp it would not have been wise for ford to do that. Sucks the GT is discontinued. :detective GM will not put the Camaro in the same level as the C6 :detective

I read an article in Automobile magazine this weekend where the Z06, Ford GT, and Viper were compared. The Z06 beat them all in every area that counts. The GT may hit a higher top speed, but the Z06 is a more practical car that won`t get as much attention. They are all in the 500+ HP range. It would be great if they could get a Camaro to match those numbers, but probably not in the first production year. Then again... by `09 we may have 500 HP Hondas out there, so I guess anything is possible.

a z06 and gallardo, although both characterizing as "super cars" are not the same breeds.
the gallardo, although very fast, was made and inspired to be a super handling speed machine, abled to take corners and turns so fast, some cars wouldnt be able to take that speed on a straight-away.
the gallardo kills the z06 on the track or slalom. on a drag strip, u gotta give props to american muscle. how fun is driving in a straight line anyway!

Not impressed. It looks like a basterdized Camaro/Caddy/Vette. At least with the New Mustang you can tell that every element of that car was part of the mustang heritage and refind to mesh with the new body style!
As for the ZO6 being "Better" than a GT I find it really difficult to beleive you also have to remember what you are buying! Z06 is a sports car that is worthy of the race track. The GT is a Race car worthy of driving on the streets! ... Big difference there is a lot of refinment that is in the Z06 where the GT was designed as a race car.
