No more Catfish to fry?
Looks like the Camaro is on life support with no future...
https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/auto...rt/ar-AADpAEC#! I don't know if this is better than the rumored electric Mach 1/Mustang future we've been rumored to be looking at. But the new Blazer sure looks like Camaro offspring.

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
Modern Camaro is not only funny looking but overweight.
For those of us that actually race,...weight is a legitimate concern. My buddy has one with roughly 750 rwhp which can’t catch my Mustang on the roadcourse. Mustang has 400 rwhp

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
Never been a fan of the newer Camaro. You can’t see out of them at all and the fit and finish is trash.

I like the LSA ZL1, and that’s about it. The first phase alpha body was pretty decent looking. That’s the extent of my interest in the Camaro’s that are newer than F bodies.
Edit: forgot about the Z/28, but the car was priced too high to begin with. Pick your poison. |

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
I had not taken notice of the Mustang sales lately. Wow, they are all really low considering they used to sell a 1/4 million units at least a year...

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
Having owned a 1969 Camaro and seeing what Chevy was trying to push on people as a throw back, it wasn't even close in my opinion. But have to say I don't want to see these cars go away, the HP wars are awesome to see...

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
i was pondering if this is an attempted ploy to get Camaro sales up.
when the new Honda Accord coupe looks better than the new Camaro, GM has an issue. GM's/Chevy's new trucks are fugly also. _ |

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
I agree, saw a new Chevy truck the other day its a 4x4 with a Camaro front end.. Why do these company's want to have vehicles that all look the same? When your puddle jumper el cheapo model looks very similar to your high end model we got a problem.. Its like buying a Hyundai Sonata and trying to convince everyone you are driving a Jaguar S type... I continue to see no reason for me to buy a new vehicle. They all look kinda the same.. I'm looking for old cars of 25 years and more which no longer require Motor Vehicle inspections in my state.

Re: No more Catfish to fry?
I've always liked Mustangs better, but I like the Camaro's (and Firebird/TA's) from 67 to 92. 93 to 02 were just plain UGLY! At least the new ones look better than those LOL.
