found pics of Production Camaro next to Challenger
Very cool! Some guy posted these on Flickr! Hope these aren't a repost, because I don't keep up with this 5th gen stuff much. This appears to be the Camaro with a V6 based on engine shots we saw a few days ago.

Funny thing is, I remember seeing the Camoro next to some Mustangs, and it looked way smaller... The Mustang is 55".....
I don't know, maybe it's possible the earlier prototypes were smaller ????
Still not going to stop me from getting my new 5th gen.......

And here's another picture from the same photographer that shows the Camaro and Challenger.
If nothing else, the Camaro and Challenger look good parked next to each other.

Great find!
The Camaro does look a bit shorter than the Challenger. But not as much as I would have thought. That model seems to have the smaller dia wheels and larger profile tires so maybe it's a V6 and maybe they sit up a bit higher. I would think the Camaro seen at the Nurburgring with the 20" in wheels and low profile tires would sit lower.
Can anyone confirm what this event was. Seems like several of Chrysler and GM vehicles at what looks like the infield at MIS. It just seems like an odd place to bring a Camaro test car.

Just like they told me when they said the Camaro and the Mustang look just alike!
