Bye-Bye G8...HELLO Caprice!!

[z06boy]

I like the G8...not sure about the Caprice but ...maybe.

*edit* Just looked at the Lumina and it does look decent...for a four door as did the G8.

That looks miles better that the proposed caprice.

i can't believe they wont' be doing a Z28 Camaro. WTF is a Camaro without a V8?

the same thing it is now, an over priced over weight false memory aimed at old people. Just like the other two

I would have to assume only to those who don't know how to drive.

Make mine rear drive please. It's not that I haven't learned to make a front drive car hustle around corners...but it's not pretty, and it's no fun.

The Camaro SS still has the V8, the Z28 package was a higher performance version of the v8.

Either way, the new camaro is ugly as feck.

The new Camaro ugly? Are UUUUUUUU smokin crack?

Thing is tight as hell.

Better looking than the Challenger, for sure.

The Challenger looks like a bananna, with the way its rear end kicks up, and how the part closest to the ground is recessed into the body.

It looks like GM gave a room full of five year olds sugar, and crystal meth, then made them watch Power Rangers for 24 hours straight. Then they showed them a pic of a nice 69 camaro, and asked how they could make it look better. they took a meth break first of course.

Camaro SS + 6spd manual = busted output shaft.

Hmm. I’d like to know if the Camaro uses the same 27-spline output shaft version of the trans that was used in 4th-gen F-bodies, or the 32-spline version that was utilized in the SSR. If it’s the former, then yeah, they’re going to break like twigs (I have personal experience with this in a 4000+ lb car with 400+ HP). If it’s the 32-spline version, then I would perhaps think that this is an issue with the quality of the output shaft and not a design flaw, as that should hold up to a lot more power than a stock SS can put down.

EDIT: Just saw a pic of a snapped output shaft. Looks like a 28-spline configuration (if I counted correctly while looking at an out-of-focus photo on a 10.1″ screen). That seems a bit inadequate for a car that weighs nearly 4000 lbs and puts nearly 400 HP to the rear wheels. But the surface of the broken part looked glassy-smooth, and didn’t seem at all like a properly-manufactured part that was overloaded. If I had to guess, this is the result of a material or manufacturing problem.

Output shafts are/were a weak link in the C5 Z06. I'm not sure about the C6 Z06.

When I had the 3:90's installed I had hardened outbut shafts installed as well.

I never broke one but did it "just in case".
