Is there any way to watch this in the UK without a Sky or something? (ie, the internets) Love the shows, from what I've seen in other countries and snippets on these pages. #chevycamaro

@Mobius: I tried to find seeded torrents for some of the other factory tours, but no game. Looks like TPB and eztv are having issues right now.
C'mon discovery channel, embrace digital distribution. I'll even pay per show, just let me buy it on the interwebs. #chevycamaro

To all those guys whining about the boring video, would you rather watch someone assemble these? #chevycamaro

@FTGDWolverineEdition'09: I read that the Hethel assembly line can do some crazy stuff.

Like put together a base Elise, then an Exige S, then a Tesla, then another Elise, all without stopping. No idea if it's true or not, but dayum that's a crazy assembly line. #chevycamaro

Why is it that some after market company, with an adorable name, can produce a product a whole year before the car manufacturer gets around to it?

Its going to have just as many leaks as the factory model..

I'd rather spend the money on a Trans Am version with t-tops, in black though.

I'd be interested in a convertible, but only a hardtop.

Come to think of it, at Camaro + 18k I think I'd rather have a Z4.

Logic defies this. You are paying $18K to have the top removed and weight added at the same time.

I can't really find anyway to justify spending the money on an aftermarket conversion like this. If this were the Challenger, which will have no convertible version, I can kind of see it. But why pay close to $55k for a custom convertible conversion when you can wait a year and get one straight from the factory with better thought-out engineering?

@500wishes: I guess; at least until the real Camaro convertible comes out, at which point you just realize that you paid $55k for a sawzall job with inferior dynamics, huge amounts of cowl shake, and absolutely, positively no resale value.

and without a legend, the graph shows that the one in the middle sold less than the one on the right, but WAY more than the one on the left... whichever those are.

I would like to think that once Ford upgrades their engines (to ones that don't completely suck), their sales will improve.

Well, I said this before, but it needs to be repeated. These numbers have very little to do with demand and everything to do with production. Peak manufacturing for the Challenger is about 2,500 units per month, so they will never sell 6,000, 7,000, or 8,000 units per month like the Mustang and Camaro.

@GreenN_Gold: I still like that Challenger best- always have, despite what it lacks. Someone once mentioned it was meant to be bigger and more comfy to drive. I dunno. The styling is there, but it is a bit heavy.

I kinda thought Daimler took a shortcut by downsizing the 300/Charger platform to build this, even though the lines are beautiful. Makes it more of a Stallion than a Pony car. Camaro, right now, has the edge after so many years offline. And its grille needs to be tweaked a bit. Still, all three are wonderful, updated renditions of their forefathers.

I know that Ray's wetting his pants in excitement over this, but seriously, this is only a blip on the radar. Once the Mustang gets its new engine, and once the Government Motors backlash becomes stronger, it's all over.

You can win the battle, but still not win the war. Personally, I can't stand the Camaro's styling. It comes across as an anime caricature of the original, and not in a good way. Then again, the original Camaro was never really a cutting edge design in the first place. I still can't believe that GM chose to do a remake of the Camaro, and let the GTO wither as a re-badged Holden which looked plainer a Grand Am.

The Mustang V6 front end looks more like a Mustang than the GT front end does. the difference between the two is the strips of plastic that separate the grille and headlights, which are body-colored on the V6, and unpainted black plastic on the GT. I can only assume that someone at Ford wanted the GT to look more like a Camaro.

The Challenger may be bigger, but is only 295 lbs. than the Camaro, which isn't a huge difference. Oddly enough, the Camaro is 287 lbs heavier than the Mustang. Therefore, the Camaro is to the Mustang as the Challenger is to the Camaro (as far as weight is concerned).

There, I finally got that off my chest!
