I tried to upload a picture of mine with my post but it didn’t work, I am not very good at this computer stuff

As for the engine it will be back from the engine builders next week, all 650 BHP of it

I think the US has found their design forte:
Modern "Retro" versions of old musclecars.

Like it.

Re: Camaro

Isnt that Bumblebee? If it transforms I would want one, if it doesnt then I dont. Wouldnt own an American muscle car if my life depended on it. Well, a '65 Shelby Mustang maybe, but nothing else...except maybe the new Ford GT which i dont class as being truly American anyway as it goes round corners.

Oh, that's lovely (but I'd prefer something late 60s in blue with white stripes....)

A guy who lives near me has a boss musang like this, he seems to do okay on the narrow and windy roads.

I really like that Camaro although there seems to be a theme of humanising cars lately.

What he said. The new Challenger also looks brilliant, as does the 2005+ Mustang.

Do we know how much these will be going for when they reach UK shores?

Which is as old hat as saying all Alfa's fall to bits and rust.

The current gen corvette Z06, in stock form, lapped the Nurburgring in 7mins 40. Considerably faster than stock european rivals from Ferrari and Porsche

Re: Camaro

Thanks for that HST. Usually I'm the one who ends up pointing out the tired old anti-American cliche-itis.

Besides if you can't get the car to go around the corner, then you the driver are likely doing something very wrong.

My favourite has to be the Giugiaro Mustang though it's only a concept car.

Nothing like American muscle wraped in Italian flair! Much like my Fave 70's supercar, the De Tomaso Pantera

Re: Camaro

Ned that's a gorgeous car, I looked at a few Camaros before I bought my Trans Am back in 1990, sold it in 2002 unfortunately, still miss that big block V8 burble. Photo below.
