  • With the announcement of the 5th gen....

    Should we add a 5th gen forum now.. or really wait and see. Given we don't have many details of the new coming V6 (other than speculation).

    Opinions?

    I voted yes, because just like you added in another thread in the lounge, there really isnt too much new here.

    maybe adding a 5th gen forum would create a buzz, bring some more people in? Worth a shot...maybe.

          I voted to wait. It would just be another Lounge that BLLDOGG would need to moderate.

            well common sense tell's you they HAVE to make a v6 version, they'd never sell anough if they didnt. i think its safe to add it now. i see no harm it putting it up a little early. some other boards already have a 5th gen section.

                  It wouldn't be a bad idea to have it now. All of the posts that get posted in the lounge, over, and over, and over, and over again about the 5th gen can all get stuffed in one place. Just because it isn't in production yet doesn't mean their isnt a lot of buzz and stuff to talk about it.

                  The GTO message board has a specific forum about the new GTO, and the car is only speculation at best at this point and isn't anywhere near where the Camaro is yet. But, you still go there to see the latest buzz and updates.

                    well i dont really know but I want to say 2 to 3 months ago in a mag. i picked up read that they put the new camaro and mustang against eachother and the camaro came out on top duhhh. The real thing that i was looking for was the V6 stats because my mom has been watching for the camaro ever since they showed it in Denever and because i took her's the V6 and is a 3.9L with 240hp i really couldnt tell ya what mag. it was i wish i knew. But i think we should add it now.

                        This is all hear say... I have NO facts as of yet to back them up, but believe it to be as close to fact as possible!
                        ***END DISCLAIMER****


                        On the topic of V6 5th Gen Camaro.... don't quote me.. but if I heard correctly... GM knows the V6 is going to HAVE to keep the brand a float. I believe the ratio was to be more V6 models to V8 models. This might be to support the price tags going to be associated with said V8 models. I also believe it will sport the new world class V6 GM has been working on. Putting it in the close to 300HP range. I think with the new motor will come more tuning possiblities, better aftermarket support (than previously with 3rd and 4th gens), and only 2 bodies styles... hard top and topless. I can't see how the T-tops can be worked in this platform.

                        So.. continue with you throughs of a new forum for the 5th gen.

                        Oh.. and it may not be Bulldog moderating it :p

                          See what I mean? People and even yourself are already bringing up all this info on the car and its not even the right topic... You may as well dump all the clutter into one forum as speculations and hear say. I'd go there to see the latest and greatest "facts" without it getting lost behind all the bullcrap on page 2 in one day in the lounge.

                            I read the same article you are talking about, but I am not sure if it was based on real numbers, or specualtion. However, it did show the v6, v8 and a special model camaro, each beating there respective Ford competition. and for the special model camaro, they put it up against a Boss model Stang if I remember correctly.

                            See the facts/speculation people are shooting out in this thread, is evidence enough for a 5th gen. section.

                              Just... your right... I shall remove my foot from mouth now.

                              UDLose.. the numbers are not showing the want for it.... it's 27% to 68%... in favor of waiting... we'll see what happens later tonight when people get home and on the boards.
