4th Gen Camaro's
I just saw that traction control was standerd equipment on the fourth gen camaros, it was not. My 1992 does not have it as do others I know this was an option although most dealers orderd it, so the vast majority of z28 owners just assume it was standerd. I will leave it off for a few days then do the edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supercopone (talk • contribs) 06:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC) 92 was not a fourth gen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.27.9.20 (talk) 20:45, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Camaro< Mustang<Challenger<Charger all remakes of older models
just a question, but what do you call these vehicles. when you take the design of an older car like the ones listed above. and remake them years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.122.0.112 (talk) 21:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Trivia
I removed the "Notable Appearances" section because there is nothing notable about anything in the section, it is just a list of popular culture references, waiting to grow and get worse. How many movies had a star drive a Camaro? How many popular songs mention a Camaro? If this section stays, they will eventually all be listed. And will add absolutely nothing of value to the article. As WP:Handling Trivia notes: At heart, much trivia is an attempt to connect partially-related topics through a given context. This section contains the name of one actor, and three films. The section does nothing but connect those popular culture references to the Camaro. It adds no useful facts or context to the story of the Camaro; it is just trivia. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trivia sections) says that Trivia sections should be avoided, therefore, I deleted the section, and I continue to believe it should be deleted.--Paul (talk) 00:58, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- In the case of a mass market models such as the Camaro, there are too many instances of so-called "Notable appearances" that most often attract non-notable mentions (but are considered significant by their editors) of films, songs, television, etc. that have not "influenced the sales, design or other tangible aspect of the vehicle." This quote comes from WP:WPACT. It goes on to explain "such facts belong in the article about the owner, movie or TV show."
- This article about the Camaro is an overall review of several generations of this model spanning many decades. The focus should be on the history of the vehicle. It should not be expanded with all sorts of cultural references. Those can be explained in detail within their own respective articles -- if deemed noteworthy there.
- In summary, the Camaro's "Notable appearances" section should be removed, per WP:WPACT guidelines. CZmarlin (talk) 02:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
