1st Question. What was the talk about the rear bumper and why it was changed from the very smooth and clean design of the concpet? Why add the extra cut lines in when they really didn't need to be added. Why place the reverse lights there and not someplace else that doesn't chop a hole in the rear fascia? Any comments from GM on this?
2nd Question. Curb weight. I know you said they have dropped a few pounds from May but it's still high. What reasons did they give as to why this car is the heaviest Camaro ever? The car is full of airbags and I know those are heavy but did they discuss this topic?

2nd - Zeta is heavy. Airbags are heavy. They did what they could to remove as much weight as possible from the architecture they had to work with. Physics is physics.

If Chevy doesn't make a Camaro to compete with the GT500's I will NOT buy a Camaro. I currently own a new Z06 and two Shelby GT500s (purchased only because there was no Camaro), but I have owned 5 Camaros and would really like to own another, but not if I will to lose to every Snake I see.

Why not put them in the black part, or on either side of the plate, or up were we wanted them? All 3 of those options can't be outlawed?

Question 3 is more to do with the interior and the Ignition Video seen today.

Will the Camaro have a HUD option? And can you shed any light on the red LED lit interior accent. Will that be offered?

Seriously guys, of course the Z28 is NOT dead. Think about it. Do you really think they would bring back the Camaro and not have one badged as a Z? Things will settle down
for GM and it will eventually hit the streets. I'll bet my new SS on it.

Looks likes the suits at GM didnt want a SC Z28 Camaro to encroach on ZO6 and ZR1 sales. When you look at the big picture, a $50,000 500hp Camaro would hurt $75,000 ZO6 sales. A lot of us on here love the Camaro, but the Corvette is Chevy's halo car and the Camaro is the bang for the buck volume car for Chevrolet and GM.

I'm aware of FMVSS but I just don't get why they could have placed the reverse lights in the lower plastic valance of the C6 and not the Camaro. Tom Peters was on both.

cant talk about HUD since its not in any of literature I've seen so far.
LED accent lighting will be optional content.
