YES! My personal car list is now complete with this beautiful Camaro SS! :mrgreen:

Thank you EA for the Carrera GT, Camaro SS, Nissan Skyline R-34, Shelby GT500 "Eleanor" and BMW M3 (hopefully with the GTR kit like in MW - the paintjob I will do with the paiting system, just like I did in ProStreet).

:D :D :D

I like that the Camaro is in Undercover simply because I couldn't drive it full-time in Most Wanted.

Hmm, the Car Lot isn't even updated it.

There's a Camaro SS in Undercover. That's all that needs to be said. :wink:

lol thats a very diverse list, but a good one

I love the Camaro a lot. great car. almost has the exact same paint job as the camaro I used to start NFS Carbon hahaha
which reminds me, they totally need to go back to hoods with blowers for the classic muscle cars. hahaha that was such a bomb addition to the customization features.
I doubt almost completely they will show up in undercover tho.... :cry:

Hehe yeah. One exotic, one tuner, two american muscle and one... hmm let's call it sports car :mrgreen:. I went "crazy" when I discovered that the Black Edition of Most Wanted had a Camaro SS on it! Really, escaping the cops with a car like that is just outstanding! I tried and tried and tried again to put that car on the carreer, and finally I was able to do so. Too bad you couldn't tune it (only rims and vinyls) but it was great nonetheless. In Carbon it was my first choice. It was funny: one of my friends choose the Brera "cause it is exotic". The other choose the RX-8 "cause it was a cool tuning car". I choose the Camaro SS "cause it was a hell of a powerful car"! :mrgreen:

The hoods on Carbon were amazing... I don't know why they cut them off of ProStreet <_<.

I'm assuming you mean the BMW when you say "sports car" thats a good one. I never really knew which catagory to put BMW and Audi in. Coz they aren't really tuner cars coz they're pretty good stock. but they deffinitly aren't exotics or muscle cars. lol I started a career in every class on carbon.
and yeah they deffinitly need those hoods back coz those totally made the game for me haha (not really but I liked them alot) I'm sure they'd look badass on a chevelle.

Yep, I called it sports car because it doesn't really fit in any other category... just like Audi :).

I also started every carrer on Carbon with a different car. But the Camaro SS was my very first choice for the first carrer :P. Just escaping with it on the start (when you have those 3 cop cars aftar all the intro movies) was amazing!

If someday I enter to the NFS development team, I'll put those hoods back. You have my promess :mrgreen:.

lol I started my first carreer on carbon with the camaro, which is real strange coz I'm much more of a fan of european cars (not necessarily exotics) haha

ah that would be so rad if we could even just persuede them to bring back the cool hoods for the next installment lol

yeah the hoods were sick
i think the s5 is cool but i wish audi had come out with the rs5 so we could have that instead
dont u guys wish there were more old-school exotics like ferrari dino and lambo miura?
it would be kinda fun to race a gt500 vs. a miura or a dino vs. a camaro
am i the only one who likes these cars???
TUNERS ROCK!!!

This car is utterly futile in the past few games. I doubt anything is ever gonna change. 121MPH is pathetic.

Well what do you expect? Back in the days when these were mainly around, they were some of the fastest cars around. Give them some credit, otherwise u'd never have your modern V8's in cars like the Koneinsegg (lol i can spell :lol: ) :D :D
hang on... how fast did you say i went again officer??

The presence of this car is less about its performance than its iconic nature, similar to any classic muscle car present in any racing game that also features newer, faster cars side by side.

Just like some people would like to see a classic Ferrari in NFS simply because of the fact that it's a classic Ferrari and not because of its performance.

He has a right to complain. This is an open forum with no rules against people complaining, as long as their complaining doesn't become whiny or defamatory, or starts flame wars.

Actually, that's the stock performance of one of the trim levels of the Camaro SS (5.7 L). You've got to realize that these classic American cars just didn't have the power to go super fast in their stock form.

Although EA did get the torque and horsepower wrong for the 5.7 L. Interesting...

Power figures look good, but the top speed is dodge coz of the gearing'

Postby TONTO89 on Fri 14 Nov, 2008 8:18 am

the top speed is low because classic muscle cars are built for low end power
muscle car engines produce the most power in the lower revs allowing for very quick acceleration. unfortunately because of this they sacrifice top speed.
some cars are more balanced so they have quick acceleration and pretty high top speed
while other cars are built for high rev power which means increased top speed but it takes longer to get there.
so thats why in its stock form the chevy SS camaro doesn't have an impressive top speed

and bluestreak I agree with you on the miura but not so much the dino lol
