but you cant just get a different engine
you get a diffent "package"
just like a mustang comes with a v6 now and a mustang gt comes with a v8
you can't order a mustang with a v8 would it being a gt
remember when gt and rt and ss were just sticker packages?
and drive trains were just that?

Re: Spotted new Camaro..
U can order a new camaro as a "Body in White" a stripped out car with no capret , sound insulation, or much of anything in it. The 2% of consumers who want a stripped out car, or who can't afford the V8 version aren't worth the tooling up for another version.
the base car is 304Hp and has a 6 spd.

With the current state of the economy, fuel regulations, and issues with the big 3 -- don't count on it.

The Body in white programs are nostalgia as it gets, thats how the factories used to sell production race cars to the racers. All 3 of the companies are doing something of the sort, Ford has the new Cobra Jet racecar, Dodge has a race version of the challenger and I guess the camaro is being offered up as well to the racers. None are street legal to my knowledge.
They're nearly impossible to get, the ford stickers for $69,000 and is just about ready to race, but you've gotta be somebody to get one, not just anybody walking off the streets. All the challengers I believe have been spoken for they were less coin $30 something i believe but needed more "work" to be on the track. You had to apply to Chrysler and be accepted in order to get one them as well, I read the application, they wanted listings of various big events/championships you have won racing and the like. These cars are going to real racers who will win, not Joe schmo.
I would rock the ---- out of a new challenger, the 6 speed 5.7's have been in the high 12's @108ish 100% stock. A tune and some decent tires and its a low 12 second daily driver for significantly less than the SRT versions.

Re: Spotted new Camaro..
obongoooo signed a EO today reversing bush's EO.
so now the states can have stricter emissions/mileage/etc requirements than the feds. of course kalifonia and other large states will jack theirs through the roof, and force companies to build to them, since they are the largest markets. not to mention making cars more expensive, costing car sales, cutting profits, costing jobs...
ooobongo and other socialists are purposely destroying the personal car under the guise of global warming to attempt to force everyone to use government run transportation, they can socially engineer the population.
more public transportation = more money, more money = more taxes, more taxes = more control, more control = more tyranny... more reliance on government... more job security for govt losers
