I dislike black rims as a whole... but some don't.

If the Camaro comes with stock such as these 19" filling up the wheel well:



It wouldn't be so bad. These are one of the best stock 5 spoke rims I have seen comparable to those Mercedes sporty stock rims of past days.

I hope the Camaro will have close to the following true dual pipe setup:



Since I just purchased this vehicle this past weekend, I won't be going for aftermarket exhaust system any time soon for it will kill the manu. 100,000 powertrain warranty. If this is the case of what I can't do, I hope Chevy manu. the Camaro properly so that we are happy upon ownership without the necessity of voiding the warranty.
I agree. Id just like a decent set of 5 spoke, and ducktail spoiler. Maybe Z28 strips. Probably wouldnt be able to afford new so take that as you will. Did you just pick up a G8? Just saw one in a parking lot. They are nice!

Thumbs up

The G8 has a nice Ducktail hahahaha. It is packaged down there in Australia very properly. I heard that the G8 manufactured in Australia are not tamed at all compared to shipment over here.

I traded one of my Silver TAs in that I bought last year for the G8. I needed to rid it before it dies on the street and lose all value. It has 121,000 miles on it. I was tired of the repairs and maintenance..... Freakin aye, I was fed up with buying a used vehicle for gaining someone else's problems. I don't care what anyone saids, Being the only owner is the best!

The G8 is a super family sporty/luxury vehicle. I hate to debate Quarter miles specs and 0 to 60 time on it, but many single people purchase this vehicle just for that. The G8 GXP will more than likely be at dealership before the Camaro..... the GXP will be honing in 440 horses with a LS7 engine I believe.

Depending on where you live, many dealership are marking up this vehicle... if you are interested, don't go for those markups!

The CTS-V has a good ducktail. This is about the length I want on the new Camaro.




I don't want GM to get the wrong idea that I want something 4 inches long.

I don't know where that pic came from, but that's probably the best looking picture I've seen of the new Camaro yet. I especially like that the worthless breather slot or whatever it's called is missing from the front end. It actually looks like a Camaro and not some cartoon caricature of a bastardized Cadillac.

It certainly provides good reason to buy the coupe :

Agreed on both counts.

I suppose if it helps sell more cars that's a good thing. But me personally?

Thing looks like it's off a transformers tho. I'd like something less dramatic than that.

I like most of it. It's tough to get a true feel with it as it is, incomplete and a collage of ideas.

Yes on both stripe packages... I like the hockey stick going below turn signal more
Yes on the ground effects and exhaust tips
Yes on the lip spoiler
Maybe on the wing... seems a bit high, similar to Dodge Charger wing
No on the 7-spoke wheels

definatly love it/hate it. Which is good probably. I like the GFX and the front slot delete, maybe the wing, I would want to see the duck tail and the high rise in person first though. If either one positively affected aero (ie lowered drag and/or crerated downforce) like the first gen G35 aero kit did, I'd go for it. Probably would not go for the hockey stripes, but dual center stripes (like convertable concept) for sure.

Personally, the more options to make a Camaro 'mine' the better.
