Youre right, its a 67-69, He got it off of Mike Ashley, another Pro Mod Driver.

i thought it looked a little different from the knew one but i just naturally assumed it was the new one when u said new car :doh:

[Strtracer]

I did the same thing, until he brought it up.

So your previous statement will still be true and you think they are ugly. You liked that one a little bit b/c it WASN'T an 05'!! :D :burnout:

i was surprised that i like it as much as i did because i thought it was an 05..now that i know it wasnt an 05 that explains why i liked it more than i thought i would..get it?? lol

I like the new stang, it's got some old and new styling which go well together. Can't wait to see the funnycar version. I think in Promod you can run any body style(Old willys,chevys,etc.) I think there might even be a weight break for certain styles (i.e. 57 shoesbox Chevys) due to aerodynamics of certain bodystyles over other.That's so not everyone is running a 68 Vette, 2005 Camaro-oh wait they don't make those anymore. At least they still make the mustang!!! :D =(Couldn't resist 1bad406rs!) :bna: :bna:

there sopposdly coming back in 2007..im just scared to see what it looks like..:lol: all they said is its still going to be a v8 rwd car but its going to be based on a platform the Buick uses also..that makes me scared..lol

NO Camaro for 2007, nothing even on the drawing board. There are rumors of a possible return of the Chevelle(GM recently re copywrited the name) though.

[1Quick88]

my grandpa has told me different..retired from GM after workin for 38 years and he still knows a bunch of people and he claims its coming back..also if u look on the web and just search 2007 camaro ALOT of magazines claim its coming back like autoweek and gm insider and sources like that..not sayin im 100% correct but from what ive been told its coming back

[Strtracer]

If it shows up by 2007, it will be because GM changed the name on a different product. The was no specific Camaro plan in the pipeline. Development time is still around 3 years, so to make the 2007 model year, the car would already have to have been designed. It is possible that GM will kill the Chevelle name and use Camaro because of the stronger name recognition. We'll just have to wait and see, but there is no F body platform at GM anymore.

Alot of the same magizines talked about a new more powerful Lightning but it's not coming out anytime soon if ever. Hopefully they don't turn into some front wheel drive piece of crap! I'm a Ford guy, but I like to see some competition so the Mustang doesn't turn soft (Remember 1981 no v8 Ugh!)
I thought Gm was thinking of coming out with the nomad (the one at the autoshow a year or so ago)? Anyone know???

[1Quick88]

yeah i know there's no f-body anymore and there using the Zeta? platform..something like that..oh well just gonna have to wait and see :)
