Saying that though, I still think that infamous photoshop of what someone thought the new Camaro would look like was really stonking. Struggling to google it. I'd like to see where Dodge go next with the Challenger. Could turn out to be quite interesting.

I'm a '67 shape all the way. The new ones nice, but i think its too busy. Could do with some less of those agressive lines. Saying that, it does represent the 1st gens damn well, much like the Mustang.

Well, I doo like a late 3rd gen, but thats the only exception, even then its a Firebird over a Camaro

More evidence of cost savings

It seems that over on the Camaro 5 Forum owners are complaining about cracking nose cones if driven at speed

Throw the lead brake weight issue into the equation and I'd be rather p!ssed off

Andy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 03, 2009, 07:06:48 pm »

Whats the Lead brake weight for?

GM aren't saying but the best guess is to stop brake squeal

You get teething troubles with every new car, manufacturing defects in moulds etc.

The police in Florida (I think) still use the 4th gen SS as high speed pursuit vehicles.

There is an orange Bodge that cruises around here, I must say the car looks lovely in the flesh. But the Camaro for me. If I wanted something that looked and performed like an old Challenger I'd just buy an old Challenger...

I want me a Camaro SS2 in black with the RS package and with a Lingenfelter blower on it. Best way to spend 45k US

new camaro does look good, Americans start the new model year very early, usually about july or august.

i hired a 2004 chrysler concorde LXi in june 2003!

That is really shoddy

Naughty GM

those weights on the calipers are disgraceful !

HardRockCamaro · « **Reply #42 on:** May 08, 2009, 02:16:35 pm »

Putting extra weights on the calliper to solve a problem like that is proper pikey. This is what you get when you buy some Yank junk instead of a finely engineered European car like a BMW for example.

Oh, wait a minte...

EDGE · « **Reply #43 on:** May 08, 2009, 02:24:27 pm »

yeah, but at least they're not just stuck on tire weights

Roadkill · « **Reply #44 on:** May 08, 2009, 03:19:03 pm »

"Spokesman John Fitzpatrick said the weights were added as a damper to reduce noise and only early build cars would need them."

And that's EXACTLY why I'd never buy a new, new car . . . always wait a year or two for all the problems to be shaken-down, first.

HardRockCamaro · « **Reply #45 on:** May 08, 2009, 04:02:15 pm »

Looks wise the tyre weights type thing looks pikey, beight is weight and no matter what it looks like it simply says "we made it wrong".

But as opposed to getting Brembo to custom make a weight to fit the BMW, why didn't BMW just get them to modify the flippin calliper properly like GM are having them do?

As a temporary fix the BMW one looks better, but as it's only temporary anyway I don't think it's a big deal.
In fact it makes me wonder if BMW intend their fix as temporary of permanent...
