Nice to hear that Mark does care about this brand.

I don't know. This is discouraging to me. It sounds like he wants to turn it into a MachE clone.

I read the Next Gen Camaro will be ICE

This concept was recently showed at a GM design event there is no name attached to it.

It looks like another tank turret greenhouse(must be for Nascar aero

I find it both interesting and retarded that GM dropped a 17,000 dollar carbon fiber ZLE aero package for the 6th Gen last week. I know they did it so they could update the cup cars in nascar but it’s still something to think about I guess. Maybe they haven’t given up on us Camaro guys completely but I can’t help but thing how stupid it truly is to release a package on a platform like this that is now 2 years defunct.i know why they did it. They needed the nascar update but still. If they had promoted the 6th gen better it probably could have stood a chance at still being in production, instead of intentionally letting sales slide so they could justify killing it, in the name of electric.

They didn't do it for NASCAR. NASCAR announced a long time ago that GM made the decision that the Chevy body update will not be called a Camaro.

NASCAR requires the bodies to be called after a model is currently in production or is scheduled to go into production. For GM to willingly drop the Camaro name from the NASCAR body shows that they do not currently have any plans for a next gen Camaro.

This is an old concept art from back before the change to the 6th gen.

LSX mag is as bad as Motortrend for printing bs articles.

They still use the Camaro nameplate in Aussie V8 Supercars

They absolutely did it for nascar because they have no way of updating the body with out the current car in/scheduled for production or in this case updated body parts being available to the public. The rules say they can’t update the ‘24 car unless a new model is released or apparently new parts are released for the old model to update it. Been deeply into nascar for 30+ years, this has been the case for decades even back to the 50’s and 60’s.
NASCAR has been allowing them to run the ‘24 car but unchanged. Ford and Toyota have both got new body updates since Chevrolet has. They announced the cup chevys were getting updates earlier this year, and low and behold 3 days before they dropped the new cup car, GM drops the CF aero kit the 6th Gen ZL1 which includes a new hood… which of course the cup car got. Definitely for nascar. Study the facts next time…

How about you study the facts next dude!

It has already been announced the update is NOT being called the Camaro. Again repeat after me, IT HAS BEEN PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED THAT THE BODY CHANGES IS NOT TAKING AFTER THE CAMARO ANYMORE! Regardless of what you may think you know, public announcements by those in charge and in the know, have stated you are wrong!

It doesn't matter jack what they release for the Camaro because the body isn't reflecting it anymore. GM is going to announce a new V8 sedan sometime soon and money has it that the NASCAR change is reflecting that. The Camaro getting new aero is just a side effect.

They actually had all the teams remove "Camaro" and replaced it with Chevrolet only the ZL1 badges remained.

In Canadian Nascar every team ran the Camaro name but one the Quasi factory team of Paille Chevrolet used Chevrolet and ZL1 like the States

Lol you are doing a good job with your research I see… it doesn’t matter that they pulled the Camaro name from the car. It’s still based off the Camaro. And the updates absolutely went to the cup car… as mentioned above… by not only me…but I guess you are right and you seem to know everything…

In case you don’t know how to research, I’ll do some more work for you on top of what’s posted above… Funny… it’s the same article… from a different site… oh wait, I see… that’s because it’s the press release from Chevrolet…

And…. Here’s one straight from nascar I accidentally stumbled upon while reading another story about the ongoing lawsuit. This was after my post above.

This is not correct with the current next gen rules. They are built specifically for racing and do not need to be current, publicly available production models.
