Scrapped camaro found?

Re: Scrapped camaro found?
I've been staring at it for a while.... REALLY looks like a 4 and a 7, the middle number is hard to make out, but it's blocky like a 2 would be, and really, only a 2 would make sense there....
But, you have a perfectly legitimate point in that it could just be the guys messing around with the styling a bit... and thought it'd be fun to put a 427 badge on there.

This would be particularly interesting...... with the LS7/no LS7 talk.... since it is basically 427 cubic inches.... (I know you can round it's displacement up to 428, but I prefer to truncate. )

The LS7 really should be mute because Lutz himself
"And for those of you who might say, “Well, the Challenger has 35 hp more,” I would just reply that we have a certified 1OO more on tap from the ZO6 engine, should the need arise."

Looking closely at the pic- and from what was said about the first concept- taking its cues (retro) from the new mustang and such- I think that is the original scrapped design- I love 69's and the retro theme (loved Kris H's first PHR retro Camaro pics)- But now I feel even better about the concept they did- they are sooo on the right track!!
Can anyone get someone from the design team or Red P to verify?
I think seeing that pic makes the actual NAIAS car even stronger!!

Here are all of the different concepts I have pics of. I think they chose the right one as far as these go (except I hate the hood scoop).
Funny how 2 of the clay concepts have photoshopped wheels.
I'd REALLY be interested to see ALL of GM's scale models (2 foot long ones) for their Camaro design proposals. I've only seen one of them, and it wasn't vastly different from what they made.
