if there ever is a 7th gen camaro it wont need a radiator opening and styling wont have to be penned around hoodlines,gas tank,etc.a bold designer could plop the passenger cabin much further forward with a short,sloping hood,2 doors and a larger backseat and more usable trunk area.imagination would be the only limiting factor.might be some young designer out there with sketches that would knock our socks off. think of the radical designs like the tucker or some of the modern supercars.base car could be 0-60 in 4 seconds,SS could do it in 2.5 but cost much more.it might not be called a camaro but it will eventually get here...IMO

As for Tesla, they announced and took reservations for three versions of the CyberTruck. - Single Motor with 250 mile range, 5.6 sec 0-60mph for $39.9k - Dual Motor with 300+ mile range, 4.5 sec 0-60mph for $49.9k - Tri-Motor with 500+ mile range, 2.9 sec 0-60mph for $69.9k About 3-4 months ago they took down the pricing and specs on the Cybertruck. Based on the latest Elon tweets and speculation on the forums they will have two trims to start now. A dual motor as planned with north of 300 mile range and a quad motor with a 500+ mile range and 4-wheel steering. They will be using the new 4680 Panasonic battery cells, which have 5 times the storage capacity and cost 50% less to produce. The big question is how much will these trims go up in price considering supply chain challenges, inflation, etc. Tesla currently has over 1.2M reservations for the Cybertruck so even if they increase the price $5-10k and the drop 50% of the reservations you are still looking at 2-3 years to get one assuming they can crank them about a 200,000 a year.

Don't forget, Chevy already made electric Camaros, so the platform is there...Just a matter of making them for standard production! I would imagine they will offer different power levels as well if they go that route.

At our last club meet a 5th gen guy was commenting how he liked the 6th gen exhaust sound so much better than his car. So maybe it's your car... or just you? |

I refuse to pay $40,000 for a Tesla. $20,000 to $30,000 sure. The issue with EV is there is no affordable option to switch even if we weren't a bunch Adrenaline junkies. No Thanks, I will switch to a charger/mustang before then. And buy a truck for a daily driver that I can mod tf out of. |

Really, the Bolt is an affordable option ~$32k, i remember seeing them new, heavily discounted in the low $20's before covid.... wish i bought one then. I was loaned one a couple days and really liked it despite how ugly it is.... Of course there's the battery issue, and BEV2 is on the way out. Last edited by Hops; 01-11-2022 at 11:47 AM. |

1) Noth Pole by elves 2) Space Aliens concerned for us The size of the human population on planet Earth is the ONLY easily manipulable and directly related variable in the pollution equation. Oh by the way when you have to go to the extreme of ZERO to prove your point you have lost the debate.

My experience with hybrids (was on the hypermile Honda HF, HX and TDI boards for decades) is there are batter pack issues at 100k miles there are extensive issues with the electronics and the entire batter pack is toast at 200k for sure. The aftermarket replace cell people do a MARGINAL job and the dealer with the OEM fix, you may as well consider a new EV since Biden will help you buy it.... and yes he will run out of money sooner or later. My experience with properly maintained IC cars with a properly maintenance auto trans is 250K to 300K before the trans fails and 300K to 400K before something so big breaks on the engine like the cam lobe just wore away. This is a far cry better than IC engines ever from the 80s. Literally Toyota for example with the same 1.8 L cam over bucket engine that came out in the late 90s are still on the road with over 300K miles. I just did a clutch job for free for a disabled Vet and compression checked has 300K corolla and got 12X on all bores, changed valve cover gasket and inspected chain and cam buckets and thought hum good for another 100 to 300 K cause I see almost NOTHING in terms of wear. IMO most old IC engines fail because the gaskets start leaking and the 3 to 5th owner has no understanding of the need to have and to change the oil. They literally leak themselves to death. For example if the rear main seal was changed on clutch jobs, the average life of the IC would go up 50 to 150 K.
