The Camaro is already a "new retro" body. Just putting a different retro body on the platform would be pretty superfluous. It would have to seriously differentiate itself somehow. I think they'd basically make it huge, like the Challenger, or go the Dart/Charger route and make it completely different but carrying the…

I agree that this could be a possible explanation. I've seen some pretty ridiculous names written on band cars.

That's a good point. That kind of power is going to get most people into trouble (including me), so maybe not anything crazy. An S2000 would probably be a good compromise of handling vs. power for the average driver.

While that's true, think back to when you first started driving or getting into cars. I don't know about you, but as a teenage male it was the 700HP muscle cars and the Z-cars and Supras and what not that got me interested. G0-fast cars. It wasn't until I got a bit older that I began to appreciate the finer aspects of…

Somehow, in a weird way, it works. NP! Although I would have preferred a more powerful engine, I can look past that.

Yes, I'm well aware of all of that, but it ignores my point that those characteristics aren't going to turn someone on to cars. Assuming my fiancee could drive a manual, if I had let her drive my Miata she wouldn't have suddenly begun to appreciate cars properly. She would have just said it was loud, old, and kind of…

I agree, but that's someone who is already an enthusiast. We're talking about converting people who don't care about cars, and who won't appreciate the subtle responsiveness of a Miata.

Pure power to weight isn't the only factor. 0-60 times don't lie. Either way, I was just making a point. I'm not just picking on the Miata, I used to own one and I think they're great. But anyone who says it couldn't do with more power is a dirty liar. I just don't see it as being "exciting" enough to turn regular…

True, which is why you need both power AND handling!

Pretty cool! However, it seems incredibly easy to duplicate, so it won't be long before you can buy them for $4 at Autozone or something. Sucks because it's a good idea, and I'm sure hers are very nice quality, but it's essentially a poster so it'll be hard to protect the idea.

I agree that power isn't everything, but it's sure not nothing. Too many people around here like to dismiss it as being pointless, but as far as I'm concerned they're deceiving themselves. Sure, how many horsies you've got isn't the most important thing in the world, and handling is more important. But that doesn't…

Agree 100%. I can't stand the Playstation controller. It's so uncomfortable to hold, and difficult to push all the various buttons without repositioning. The Xbox controllers have all been leaps and bounds ahead.

Absolutely!

Well, you can get the back end out pretty easily even with a completely stock Miata. I just think if the goal is to engage the masses, this doesn't have the power to do it.

Of course, but I couldn't care less when they smash their minivan into the back of a dump truck. I would cry if that happened to an E30 M3.

Sure I do. I know Jalopnik has a deep love affair with the Miata, but it's still a slow car. Nimble, yes. But still slow. How is it going to interest the masses when it's slower than their commuter econobox? Sure, if they're patient they might grow to appreciate the handling, but until then all they're going to think…

You would trust the unwashed masses with this?

I like this one. Going somewhere remote really makes you develop a relationship with the vehicle, and a trust in it's abilities.

Nah, too slow to be interesting to anyone but an enthusiast. My fiancee's Corolla is faster. It needs enough power to be engaging to the masses.

Personally, as a guy, I enjoy the stylish wheels.
