Default Camero vs Porsche - yea man

2009 C2S 177K miles

Manley!!! Check out this GM promo vid.... notice they keep positioning the Camero with a Porsche and Jaguar. BUTT!!! What I love from growing up in a dirty, macho steel town... is the manly-man... skip straight to 1:47... this is why I could never buy a corvette or camero... just can't... my brain has been damaged.

Peace
Bruce in Philly (now Atlanta)

I had a '71 SS396 (402) when I was 18, but it was not in the best shape when I had it. When I think about it, if I were offered the chance to travel back in time for a period, without being able to change the course of history or financial gain, etc the only real reason would be to drive cars like this when they were brand spanking new from the factory.

With crime and inflation approaching 1970's levels, maybe Chevrolet can re-release the '72 Camaro, just like Ford did with the Taurus in response to the 2008 financial collapse. Ford stepped up when our country needed them, why can't Chevrolet?

those were the best looking Camaros produced. I think that body style started in 1970. Still look great today. Honestly, prettier than the then contemporary 911. Obviously not in the same class from a performance or build quality, but they sure looked good.
