Re: will you give up your 4th gen for the concept?
I think I'll always keep my 4th gen. Too much blood, sweat and heart went into all the mods, and taking such good care of it since I bought it new in '97.
If I did get the new Camaro, I'll have to find more space in the garage.

Re: will you give up your 4th gen for the concept?
I'd LIKE to have both (that's what I voted 
). Just on principle, I'd like to keep my '02 forever (since it's the last of a breed, and I've had it since new).
When the new Camaro comes out and I see it / drive it, then I'll decide what's REALLY going to happen. The problem I foresee is that the '02 won't be worth much by then anyways 
(trade-in or private sale).

I've got 2 offers for the SS already.

I just went out to the garage to start the SS...I can't sell her. I've done too much with her, and she hasn't given me one, single problem. I'll have to figure out a way o own 2 Camaro's.

I would love to have both, but it looks like I wont be able to afford both of them at the same time. If by some miracle I can pay off the 02 by then I will definatly keep it, but as it stands I wont be out from under it until Oct 2008...which puts it into reach depending on price. Hmmm, we will just have to wait and see.

Re: will you give up your 4th gen for the concept?
I plan to keep my Z28 and buy a new one. If it came down to keeping mine and not getting a new one, though, I'd have to keep mine and forsake the new one. T-tops are a big deal to me, and the car has a lot of sentimental value to me. I'll have had it 5 years next month, and plan to keep it indefinitely. That car and I have been through a lot, and its almost like family.
However, in 2 more years I hope to have the means to buy a new one...I'd love to, and I think I'll be able to.

Camaro it will be taking the other spot in the garage.

I have a Firebird.
The Camaro would have to be the greatest thing since sliced bread for me to jump ship. If I went Chevy it would probably be for the Corvette

Re: will you give up your 4th gen for the concept?
My 99 V6 should easily last another 8 years or so. I had an 84 V6 Firebird for 15 years, so my present car should also last that long. It's been trouble-free since new, except for the popup headlight motors.
By the time I am ready for a new car, this new concept Camaro will most likely be out of production.
I don't like the retro concept, the front end looks too much like a brick.

Re: will you give up your 4th gen for the concept?
Well, I havent had much luck with my 4th Gen. I really havent gotten that attached to it b/c of the luck I have had. That 5th Gen looks sweet. I would probably wait until the 2nd year of production, maybe the 3rd, but by then, I really would have to see if I could afford a Vette. If not, the camaro would be 2nd on the list.

FWIW, a "real" Z/28 will set you back 2-3 times that theoretical price of $27K for the 5th gen.
