It went away before & came back, no big deal
without the Government Motors Bail Outs,
from globalist's Bush & Owebowelmovement
propping up the, built in Canada/Canadian & UAW/Trade "Detroit",
they'd been gone a long time ago too
Just like MoPar & Fiat, some govt. bailout too, 100% paid off
kept them alive, viable & Chrysler Corp. would be gone too...
IMHFO other than the COPO's
I couldn't care any less about the new Camaro's
I personally dislike the new Camaro, haven't really liked them
past the gen 3's, just my preferences
IMHFO the new Camaro's are way too bulky looking, just not my taste
big *** hips like a Kardashian daughter, some people love them,
I'm not one of them...
too each their own, that doesn't mean I hate all Camaro's
of the new "muscle cars", factory hotrods,
I like the Newer Challenger's better,
even if it's a lot heavier, than the Camaro or Mustangs
--------------------------------------------------
I've had Buick's, Pontiac's & Old's too
OK; don't get me wrong I love MoPar's 1st & foremost
But;
I've also had a bunch of Camaro's, in my past,
all mostly for racecars
cheap, light & parts readily available, almost everywhere,
(were cheap, not anymore)
I went 7's barely (1/4 mile) on an org. $10k budget back in the 80's
in my 68, back half car, it went 8's in street trim too, with 468cid/N2O
IMO you could never do that with a MoPar of any kind, on that budget
ever, not back then, believe me I tried,
even in an Altered almost a 1000#'s lighter
Yeah maybe with twice the budget, or if you already had all the parts
then maybe, GM (period) still cheaper, more affordable to build
than any other brand/make, as far as economics
when on a limited budget, you need to do what you need to do
my race dollar, was hard to come by, I wanted the most out of it
you have to do what you have to do, if you want to compete,
& play with people that are checkbook builders
& have 2-10 times the budgets, or just stay in the grandstands,
talk trash...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I've had many different 67-68's gen 1's
a couple 71's S/G & S/C cars (a 76 RS & a 78 Z28 Daily drivers) gen 2's,
89 IROC T/S or N2O door-slammers gen 3's, went 7.0's at 180+
for the f-bodies I like the Trans Am's & Firehawks
had a few of them too, Pontiac going away was a real hit
I had liked them (Firebirds, Formula's, Trans Am's & Firehawks)
much better car than the Camaro's IMO,
had them as racecars too, way better aero, with a little more rear wing
went 6.69 @ 217 in a 92 540cid N2O T/A pro/tube chassis
with pretty much the same combo as the 89 T/S Camaro
my last 'competitive' car was a 92 Trans Am, tube chassis
re-bodied as a 97
I've had others too, but not as competitive or fast...
I like cars, it doesn't have to be exclusively a
Dodge or Plymouth, MoPar, Ram etc.
I'm an equal opportunity gearhead,
I just love MoPar's the most...
