I like the new ones, because they have a lot of style, and are pretty tricked out from the factory. I like the retro look, but it's kind've played out already with every manufacturer doing the exact same thing. The downside of the new camaro's interior in my view is the radio knobs and that sort of thing that will take a lot to modify and still make the modified parts look like they belong. But it is a neat car. Im still glad I have my 4th gen though!

The c scoop on the side of the 2010 looks like it was copied from a mustang. I think my 2000 SS looks sleeker and sexier. it was not really copied from anything and did not have the word retro anywhere. If they wanted to make it retro why didn't the make it look like a 1st gen with roll up windows, no power seats, cheap AM/FM radio, M6 trans, 400hp, 12 bolt, A/C optional and price it at $25,000. How many of those could they sell?

4th Generation, Absolutely horrible interior,exterior styling was good but not quite timeless. On the plus side they are easy to mod and easy to make track performers and autocrossers. I have owned over 10 4th gens and I'd trade my Formula or any 4th gen I ever had for a 5th gen anyday.

I believe GM went in the wrong direction in letting the car gain any weight!
Performance is driven by improvements. The sensors and stabilty control could have come with no weight gain. The power also could have come with no weight gain. So why is the car almost 500 pounds heavier?
Too many trips to Mcdonalds I guess (like I should talk).

I agree with this 100%. They gave the fbody(camaro)so much more power but add weight to it so it slows it down??? Nobody is perfect, but GM should have known better. The 2010 SS comes with an LS3, Brembo brakes, and a great driveline even though its IRS. But they should have put a 12 bolt in it IMO which is a great idea. Anyone can say the IRS handles great but not in a heavy ass car like the new 5th Gens... The do look sharp though, saw a yellow one on the road last weekend. That and sat in a RS 2 weeks ago at a dealer. It seemed like even taller guys would be able to fit in there pretty easily which is a huge plus I think. Even though I am 5' 8" at a whopping 145lbs

I personaly think a WS6 can use a nice clean set of 19's and when lowered it looks like it belongs on the car. ANYWAYS, back on the topic.

I really like the new camaros, but i would not get rid of my 4th gen for one. Wait a few years, the new camaro will be played out because of all the hype its received and a 4th gen trans am will still look as bad ass as it did on the showroom floor....
Also to the guy who said the 20s are too big and it should have 16s or 17s.... you obviously havent seen one in person because the wheels do not look at all out of place, and if you threw a set of 16'' on there it would look like complete shit. I think these cars could pull off a 21/22 combo no problem.

Wow, just wow. They should make them gold too.

I like all of them, each one has it's own unique styling and I can appreciate what went into each car. I wish I had all three in my garage.
I agree. I had a chance to drive the 2010 camaro today and was very impressed. Acceleration was very good and the braking is stellar. The interior was great in my opinion. No complaints here. I think the camaro will eventually win alot of people over with it's potential. Don't get me wrong, i love my Formula. With under 12 g's total (car and mods) i was able to reach the 10's. The car has also been extremely reliable in the 4 years i have owned it. Not one problem. I haven't even changed the wiperblades.
I wish i had the money to own both but i have other hobbies.
I would easily take a 4th gen fbody over a new Camaro. Very easy decision.

I think the 2010 is a better all around car, stock for stock its faster, handles better, and is more comfortable. Also think it looks better, and will attract way more v6 buyers like the mustang has always enjoyed. I thought that might keep it around longer but with the new CAFE rules I think it will need to be downsized to a much lighter platform to survive to gen6.
I think for raw performance potential, especially straight line the 4th gen wins out.
