Speaking of handling, I really hope they do the same with the Camaro as they did with the Cadillac. I absolutely love the look of the new one, hope they can make it handle. I suppose it being on the Nurburgring is a good sign they are serious about making it corner.

P.S. Corvette is one of the very few cars that can pull of yellow. I especially love the C06 in yellow images/smilies/smile.gif

Well Camaro did pull yellow off in Transformers
Mustangs pull of yellow
GTOs/Holden Monaros pull off yellow
Corvettes of course

And the humble Crown Vic pulls off yellow... images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It depends on the shade of yellow really. The more metallic the better IMO

Camaros ever since 82 have been designed to be good handling cars too.

They're meant to be good handling, mass produced cars that have big motors. Will tehy outhandle Miatas and Elises? No. But they hold their own fairly well. This misconception about them not being able to handle well is ludicrous. Come take a ride in mine one day and I'll show you. images/smilies/wink.gif

Granted, mine's not exactly stock anymore...

Hehe, well next time I'm visiting my friend down in NC I might take you up on that images/smilies/wink.gif

I have a friend who used to own a Camaro and he said all it did was oversteer on him. Though I can't say that's a bad thing images/smilies/biggrin.gif

No no no no and deffinately NO.

Maybe I just don't like cars to look like piss, but the only thing that comes close to pulling off yellow is like a Ferrari or something.

You said Mustang? Are you joking?

Lamborghini you mean. A non-red Ferrari is blasphemy! images/smilies/mad.gif

Well I like them in black as well (I like everything in black images/smilies/wink.gif

) but I agree on the yellow not working on a Ferrari. Lambo can pull of absolutely insane colors, like orange.

Deviate · April 11th, 2008, 8:21 PM

The new F-body just seems to get uglier and uglier the more times I see pictures released of it.

I wonder how badly the dealers are going to gouge prices on that hideous thing...

Anyone thinks the rear looks a bit funny on the Camaro?

Yaco · April 13th, 2008, 2:09 AM

Yeah, but the Z packages haven't lived up to their name that much either, Z24, nice joke. Hahaha. I don't know about anyone of you but the SS compared to the Z seems more prestigious, or just more loved. I could have sworn they did some half-decent suspension upgrades on the SS to but what do I know...

DTMracer · April 13th, 2008, 3:25 AM

I think I'm one of those people that aren't a big fan of yellow on a corvette. I reckon nothing looks more sinister than a black on black Z06...

And a Crown Vic does look good in yellow....if you're a idiot that is...

Taxi cab yellow is the closest color to piss as you can get...unless you bring in a sample for them to color match...*shivers with disgust*

SoxXpupPeT · April 13th, 2008, 6:35 AM

Bright colors grab their attention.

Fire Engine Red or a Screaming yellow stick out like sore thumbs...

However a Metallic Red or similar yellow color doesn't stand out...
