Steal the seats and see if they can be bolted into a 4th gen 
.
For me the seats are ranked clearly
4th gen < C5 < GTO < C6 (though I only sat in the C6 once)
I'd hope the Concept seats are as comfortable as they look, cause itd be a shame to have them look great but feel terrible. Is there anything more you could find about them and what they are based off of and dimensions? I'm curious to see what the base was off of (I'd guess a GTO frame) and go from there... Cause to me good seats are the #1 ergonomics problem in the new Camaro, even aside from sitting position.

Re: Now it is our turn to drive the Camaro Concept!
Guys, a lot of things that you are asking about will most definitely be noted and covered, but I have to remind everyone that many of those same things will probably not be the same on a production version.
What the hell, since we will be doing this as the concept that it is let's explore anyway.
I have a 1gig memory stick, so I will take TONS of pictures as well as video.

I'd like to be able to see the hood from the drivers seat like you can in older cars. Take note of that.

Re: Now it is our turn to drive the Camaro Concept!
I also would like to hear what it feels like behind the wheel. The concept has alot of bulk and a substantial cowl. Does it feel sporty or does it feel like a bulky sedan?

Re: Now it is our turn to drive the Camaro Concept!
Granted they may be changed on the production model, but are the mirros funcitonal? They just seem really small in the pictures I have seen.
Hump in the floorboard?
Can you see all of the guages with the wheel tilted down? I have to go a click or two up on my 4th gen.
I am assuming it will be an auto, but if its a stick tell us about everything. Clutch, stick, etc.
How heavy are the doors?
