2028 Camaro 7th Gen is Coming

[Jarstang]

GM has just approved the 7th gen Camaro, so it looks like the pony car war is back on.

Hopefully GM has learned by now that yet another modern iteration of the '69 isn't necessary.

Pick '70-'73 this time for inspiration.

Hmm. Will believe it when I see it. GM Authority has had a few misses over the years. CT5-BW is slated to be discontinued after 2027 as well. The articles referenced is the first I’ve seen of any talk of a BW continuation. Would be great if true, but not holding my breath on that one.

IF the Camaro makes a return, that should be good for all of us, assuming the V8 is included in the offerings. If it’s turbo 4’s only, I don’t think it’s a true Mustang competitor.

Agree with Strokerswild, a different design would benefit GM as well. The styling of the last generation lasted way too long, even though it was tweaked a few times (kinda like the S650 is just a tweak of S550). It got old. I had an F body (aka catfish), I wouldn’t mind a new Camaro that took cues from that. Or the 80’s Iroc’s.

I would hope that a full offering of Camaro would push Ford to look at the 8th gen Mustang as a possible ground up development, much like S550 was compared to S197. Maybe a hybrid powertrain and/or an AWD option. Maybe pull some bits from the GTD for a higher level trim/model.

A lot of good can come to us the consumers if Chevy actually does it. I remain skeptical though, just because the performance car market overall has and is changing.

Finally. Mustang gets boring without Camaro. Hope it destroys everything so we get a mustang that destroys it.

And, since Ford priced the Dorkhorse SC at 170k, GM can basically go bananas and offer the last gen ZL1 with 7 more horsepower and some new lights and charge the same for it

Great news. Competition is always good.

Had a 2019 1SS 1LE. Loved it. Phenomenal track car and I beat the shit out of it. Never skipped a beat. It was like being in a tank but you got used to it quick. As long as mirrors set correctly it’s a non issue.

Happy to have more choices.

absolutely. had a 2020 1ss and that engine/tranny was a beast but the visibility was absolutely the worst car I have ever owned... my mustang is heads and tails better in every aspect of ergonomics and overall interior.

Pffffffffffttt…

If it makes a come back, it will also be outsold, out performed, and die off again…. I mean this is now how many times the brand name has been brought back from the abyss?

i do wish i could sit a bit lower in the stang. sometimes feels like im driving a taurus

I personally love the "chopped" look of the Camaro 6 gen. But the driving experience in terms of visibility needs work. Hopefully they can figure how to get that look without feeling like you're looking out of a bunker.

Everyone I know that tracks them is on at least their second motor. The motor isn't as robust as one might think.

Not throwing shade at it, the chassis and suspension set up, and support for it, is amazing. But the motors are as robust as the Voodoo.
