I mean gm is stoping it\'s production on the camero and firebird. Man that sucks. Because the camero and firebird out performed the mustang in everyway. And the firebird was a beast.
They said they might bring them back for some kind of special thing after the economy pics up. But as of now they are both gone from production lines.
I guess will have to settle with less perforamaning mustangs:(
-
I\'d pick a Camry over both those cars anyday. lol. :nerd:
-
Those cars have piss poor sales.
They are coming out with a couple cars next year though that will make those guido cars obsolete.
I did see that they chopped a lot of jobs up there in the Quebec at the plant.

** WAVES BYE TO CRAPPY ASS CARS**
good bye..
Ohh and the comment about beating a WRX, maybe is straight line, maybe, but here comes that turn, ohh bye bye TRANS AM, twass nice knowing you...
Straight line is not the end all to be all... Control, speed, handling, quality are very important issue. Save speed, they left all of those out in those cars... Bye!:o
-
Hmmm, for that money i think it gives you a lot of HP, ;)
too bad, i like those cars.

What\'s a Trans Am push, HP??
Even if it could outrun me, that would only last for about 1 month until it broke down.
-
I don\'t care about the Firebird. But damn. The Camero? That has been out since the 60s. But the T-Bird has been out since 55 and they discontinued it and it came back. Maybe it will do the same with the Camero when people start to miss it.
Oh and Quddus. The Mustang isn\'t weaker than the FireBird and Camero. It way out performs the two. So lay off the Mustang.

Actually they are producing a 30th anniversary edition this year for the Camaro and then they are leading it over to the Guilateen.

What the hell is a Guilateen?

He spelt it wrong. I don\'t know how to spell it but it is the machine that drops a blade and cuts a person\'s head off into a basket. :shy:

and an NSX would dust those crap ass cars.. the new NSX that is coming out will have a aluminum engine... crazy light, and strong.
hahhahahahha NSX rule!

First of all the Camero and firebird are not crappy cars. The 320-hp V-8 firebird is a beast. As far as muscle cars go. If you can\'t afford a vette then a firebird is your next choice and if you can\'t get a bird get a camero. They out performe mustang in everyway. And unlike those jap cars you don\'t have soop it all up at first buy to get something out of it.
I love those too cars and the special edition firebird gets more than 320 hp. I am sad to see them go. But maybe i\'ll be able to get a deal on one now:D
-
My friend told me the last model Camaros are going out with a bang. Like 370+hp stock worth of bang. Haven\'t heard any official news so we\'ll see...
I\'d still rather have the new Maxima or WRX anyday. :)
btw- The Skyline is coming to the US. It\'s gonna be in the form of the new model Infiniti Q45 or G35. Friend also said this so who knows!

370 HP engine. That won\'t be rear wheel horsepower. Heck, we got 290 out of a stock camaro rear wheel just the other day. Then we did some stuff to it and got much more. Too bad it\'s still a camaro. Hate those cars.

Good call, well I would hope the NSX would dust them considering the fact that it cost just a TAD BIT MORE, well like a month ago I got to drive a 96 NSX, it was sweet, I had driven a Camaro Z28 the day before but let me tell you just because the NSX only has a V-6 doesnt mean to much, that NSX hauled ass and took corners like a dream, I feel in love instantly

I could not be more pleased. Those cars are everywhere.
Most annoying bought cars:
Mustang(modern)
Camero(modern)
Firebird(every single one)
I bet you $50 if we could watch the road by my house you would see 5 cars of the ones I listed in a minute.
:mad:

You live in an area with lots of small penises don\'t you.

my top three cars:
68 Camaro w 427, Icepack, huge ass everything, black on black, with 18.6 inch Mickey Thompson slicks.
300ZX Twin Turbo, give me Nos and I will tail you, and you, and...yep you too.
Import WRX, with the 280 hp stock instead of our crapped down American one. Real scoop,too. Fake scoops are gay.
Videoholic - why would they make a 30th anniversary car for a car that is 34 years old?

Actually a friend of mine recently went to Japan and he picked up a booklet for a car made by Nissan called the Skyline. However, this is not the smae Skyline that we know from the Gran Turismo series. It\'s a luxury sedan, which is sold in the US as the Q45. It has nothing in common with the R34 Skyline, except the name, and I can\'t for the life of me figure out why the two cars are named exactly the same (particularly when they are manufactured by the same company).

THE 02 MODEL OF THE MAXIMA IS SWEEEEET. My friend has an 01 Maxima.. It sucks, cuz the 02 has the new headlights and also the clear lens taillights!!!!!!!!! Damn, those are nice. :) I wish someone would make a clear lens for a 96 Lexus ES300 (my car).!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

U.S. WRX scoop is real.
Everyone I know who has owned a Pontiac has owned at least 2 b/c their first one breaks. Grand Am\'s lose $10,000 off resale value the minute they are driven off the lot.
BTW speaking of cars coming stateside, I saw a commercial for a Mitsubishi Lancer on TV last night.

the new ones have the coolest rear lights i have ever seen!!!!!
man how much are they?
edit: and oh yeah, bozco, they run just under 100 grand... its my dream car, dood.

If I had the choice of cars to own I would choose one or the other Im about to list.. But they don\'t ship them to the US cause they don\'t meet certain emission requirements.. Which is kinda dumb considering that there are so many damn SUVs out there sucking up twice the ammount of gas and producing three times as much emissions, but its okay, cause its an SUV..
But either car would be a Mitsubishi EVO Lancer VII or an Audi RS4.. But we will never see either one over here any time soon :(
But the RS4 is a kick ass car, station wagon capable of 0-60mph in about 5.0 - 5.5 seconds.. Put to shame all these big ass muscle cars, and out perform and handle them as well.. Ahh the dreams...

you damn right :D and not an old camaro, a 3rd gen camaro :p
the only reason i cant take the bra off is because the bumper is really chiped up and looks ugly, and i am planing on painting the car blakc in the near future

It\'s not the lights that get me going about this car, it\'s the fact that it comes with a 255hp V6. And that it\'s a Nissan Maxima. :)
I currently drive a 1990 Maxima and love everything about the car. At 155k, I\'m still smoking those teenage fags in their "souped up" (read: loud) decal machines. I\'m fixing up the audio so I\'ll post pics of it soon.

holy sh!t!!! how does a maxima cost 155K? thats amazing.. what are its spec\'s dude?

I hate it when I see those ricer cars with enormous spoilers. I just laugh my ass off whenever I see one. Someone should tell these people to get a car with some balls. The SVT Cobra, and the T/A have alot of power. The NSX and the 300 ZX are the only Japaneese cars I like, but the NSX is too expensive. Vipers are nice, probably the only car Chrysler makes that\'s nice. The Intrepid not too bad.

true dat.. there is a high school student at my school who has a new, yellow s2000 convertible.. brand new. he was given it. but thats not uncommon, many famlies give their kids cars around here.. there must be like 10-15 bmw\'s in the parking lot. yet im not the one who gets a car for free... my parents are "smart" :(
-
They\'re not paying for their insurance either I can promise you that. Have any idea what a 6-month rate for a single male under 25 is? It\'s above $1000+
Not only that but they will wreck those $35k+ cars in 1 year probably b/c they don\'t even know how to drive.
-
yeah those kids are quite spoiled. one guy in the lot has a mustang with modified exaust and intake with a 100 hp NOS kit. definately the fastest on the lot.

i drive a chevy malibu. its green.

These 2 dudes in a early 90s Honda Civic asked me to race tonight :laughing:
And this was right after watching some other dude get pulled over.

yeah some kid in one of my classes has a camaro Z28 that has all that ****, modified exaust and some special hood, and he has NOS, it might be the fastest car in my school, I dont know, I also know a kid that has a late 80\'s firebird that has a 350 hp Corvette engine in it, but unlike most kids these guys payed for it themselves, but I do live in a rich area and a lot of kids get cars from their parents, all kids that have ever got a car from their parents piss me off:mad:

There are some plusses and minusses to giving your kid a car.
Really the only main plus is that you can TAKE IT AWAY!!!!
There are so many minusses.
Kid has no respect for the money it cost.
No idea about insurance.
Could care less about upkeep.
Just a total disrespect for what it really means to have a car.
To buy your own, your parents can\'t take it from you, you know what it costs. Obviously the parents are going to have to help you, but there is no reason for a kid to have an expensive car.
I have many rich friends and all of them turned out to be worthless and are still sponging off parents.
I left home at 17 for college and haven\'t been back since. I make a very good living, but I learned early in life that you have to work for what you get.
My first car was a 72 SAAB that I got out of a junk yard. It was awesome. It had no headliner so we use to put beer posters on the ceiling. Now that\'s a car. My wife won\'t let me do that to the car we have now. Can\'t figure that out.

I heard the Lancer Evo is coming to the US. As early as next year. It will be faster and sportier than the WRX.

I was just about to post that :). I would rather have the WRX though. I don\' t know what I want yet. I probably would get a mustang and supe that thing up :D
-
HAHAHA!
ALL WILL BOW BEFORE ME!
I now have a 66\' chevelle.
We are going to dump a 454 big block in there.
Im putting roller rockers in there, and eventually a roller cam with roller lifters.
I have a 750 holley carb.
We are putting an overstock turbo 400 trans with a 373 posi rear.
Oh yes.
Its going to rock.
YES!

i think im going to save up for a car like a wrx.. i see no point in buying a beater. just use public transportation till you can have a car you are proud of... then its fun.

The price on the WRX is not bad. It\'s the insurance that kills you. If you are single and under 25 you might as well get a money enema b/c that\'s what you\'ll feel like after the bill :eek::eek:

Anyone find it ironic that the Camero and Firebird, which are suppose to be true red blooded american sports cars are manufactured in Quebec?

I live in NZ and I rarely see any Pontiac and Camero. The last Firebird that I saw was 3 months ago. But I do see a lot of WRX, RX7, FTO, GTO, Skyline, Lancer Evo (there are 2 Evo VII around where I live), a couple of S2000. Quite often I see the red Lancer Evo VII in the morning and a blue RX7 with huge exhaust pipe. Sometime I also see one or two R34 GTR while on the bus in the morning.
I don\'t really like any of those Japanese cars though. Sure they look good and fast but I would pick anything European over those anyday.

They start at $23995 with no options for the 2002 models. But if you get one you have got to get the sound system upgrade cause it\'s #1 in da hood, G.
