I seen many CAD type drawings of these cars many years ago and were associated with many questions - it had no badge on it and one of the questions was "what does it look like?" I have liked these cars since the CAD drawings it just looks .. well good as does the 'stang, Must admit tho that purply color is a mistake. If I had the money I would definitely be driving around in one of these. Might be able to score one secondhand at a reasonable price in a few years.

I noticed today that the Camaro has been added to the SEVS list (Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicles Scheme).
http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/561-00.htm Someone out there obviously wants to bring them in and convert them over to RHD like some companies did with the current Mustang. It's unusual to see a new LHD car legally driving around with actual rego & plates on it. Is it my imagination or does the front of that Mustang in those pics 'look similar' the GM Camaro?? It's probably just me seeing things!! :P

Personally I think it's funny with the person in the car, looking back at the camera man going "WTF is he doing!"

Those brakes will lock up the tires, the only advantage like i said if you read my post, is big brakes fade less as they dissipate heat better. Fade is not an issue in any modern brakes for day to day driving (unless your driving up and down mountains at high speed or in an illegal manner of course). New commodores and falcons are also nearly two tonnes, compare the stock brake sizes and you'll find they're about the same! My xy has drum brakes, and i have NEVER had an issue stopping the thing, in fact it stops better than many other cars with discs usually (probably less weight) but i will guarantee that the brakes will fade easier than vented discs, but like i said i haven't had a problem yet. How many people would be buying these to drive them at the track? maybe 5% max. Those people can upgrade their brakes, it'd be one of the first things you would do on any track car. Those brakes WILL work fine, so get over it. if your that one eyed about ford, and cant stand any other car, at least find a reason that makes sense to pay it out. "the brakes look too small" just doesnt cut the mustard for an insult to a car i'm afraid. |

Honda jazz? those things are crap for country driving, what the hell makes you think they are any good for anything outside of shopping in the city? its nice you can afford at least 3 cars, but normal people like me only have one car, and drive that everywhere. Maybe the guy (girl?) was an idiot and was used to overdone power assist brakes, have you driven it? Geez you territory owners get on my nerves, just admit it - the brakes are probably fine, is it that hard? Last edited by xy500; 22-03-2009 at 10:00 PM. |

I like the camaro's side profile better but the stang has the much nicer front end. Also not a huge fan of the windsheild /sunroof intergration but i think it would be cool to sit inside it. Is it strange not to have a ford badge on it . Do current mustangs have no ford badge?

That musang is a Giugiaro creation and not a ford one, but it served as a template for the crurrent (2010) mustang.

I still prefer that Camaro over the new Mustang, I like the front on it.

I use to have an XY myself, wish I never sold it. Mine was white, had a six (with a retrofitted 2V head) and a top loader. Great car that was. Mate of mine also had a white XY, his was winsor powered with a four speed manual. That car was pure gold. As for the Comaro and the Brake thing. Those Brakes just look lame sitting inside those big hoops. Especially considering the rest of the car looks like is doing the Ton standing still. I'm guessing its brakes are no better or worse that the run of the mill Falcon or Commondore. No good for any repeated stopping, but suffice for most road applications. In addition to that, being a "Yank" car, I suspect only the top of the range models will actually go, handle, and stop anywhere near as good as they look. Even then the handling is probably so so compared to our sedans on our roads. |

Yeah heaps of people see the stripes, and ask if i'm going to finish them, when i ask what they mean they reckon they need to be painted across the roof and boot... I say yeah well you could do that to your own car, these stripes are finished. Quote:
