    Re: how many cylinders?

    You should get a V8, then you dont have to explain to people that your car is fast. Constantly explaining that your v6 Camaro runs a mid 14 is sometimes annoying! but who gets the respect in the end?

        Earlier F-bodies had a serious image problem among the target demographic, especially the Z-28s and T/As. We love 'em, but I can't tell you how many of my Acura/Lexus/BMW/Toyota/VW driving colleagues have made snide comments about not knowing I was from Jersey or lived in a trailer park after seeing my ride. (No offense to those of you in Jersey or who live in trailer parks.)

        Last gen mustangs outsold camaros and firebirds combined. Chevy is trying to appeal to those guys as well as anyone interested in the upmarket competition from Nissan, Infinity, etc. For the Camaro to be a success, it has to go well beyond the old demographic (meaning us). That means the Z-28 name had to stay in the closet for now.
