At least GM has decided to cut its losses and make the best of a bad situation. Much different then the way the leak of the z06 pics was handled.

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........

One thing I wanna add, they better keep some sort of attitude in the hood, such as the current cowl design they have. I absolutely hate boring, flat hoods like the LS1 Z28 had as well as the new Mustang has.

I love this cowl design.

Well, I would definelty think it is, but I kind of felt the analogy still kind of worked here.

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........

The most important question is:

Is there a 10 bolt in that thing?

Yeah, but the IRS does have a differential you know, at it would be nice to think GM won't cheap out on us this time by giving us a crappy 10 bolt diff.

What kind of differential does the CTS-V use?

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........

Not sure what to think yet, I typically dont like concept cars, so I wont make a full judgement here anyways.

The rear of the car looks like a new c6 vette. Not a bad thing, just odd in my opinion. Also I think it needs smoother/rounder transitions from the fenders into the hatch.

The driver side front is the correct look IMO.

Needs a targa/t top/convertable

Think I am repeating what has been said, everything else looks great. Sorry it came out in such an unfortunate way.

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........

Here's my opinion and as usual like i nthe 5th gen forums I'm sure you'll all hate it.

I always thought the Camaro should be on the same program the the Corvette is. They have no intentions of a retro design... they plan to keep pushing the car even further into more exotic shapes and lines.

I always thought that the new Camaro would venture into more Streamlined shapes and exotic cues like the Corvette had. Like the ultimate Sports car for the guy on a budget. We were getting there with the Designs like the T/A's had.

It was my hopes that unlike what Dodge and Ford were doing, Gm's Muscle car hero ,would become more exotic than muscle, and offer consumers more than just the average "retro design" that the car lots have been filled with lately. Nothings wrong with reto, it's cool, and I like the other manufacturers designs, but I think the new Camaro should be a trend setter, not a Trend Follower. And an the interior blows! MORE RACY!!!!! less Ford Thunder BIRD!!! I was already takign my pencils out and drawing in autometer gauges when I saw that thing.

Those mirrors obviously won't make it to production, they're damn near unusable.


But I have been extremely excited to see the pictures, and even more floored that they were basically confirmed by the reaction (the instant deleting of threads and even mere comments mentioning nothing more than "the silver car").

I hope a lot of that car makes it to production the way it was seen. I saw that concept and instantly wanted to buy it. THAT is how retro is done, Chevrolet style. What Mustang? The stance of that car was just plain perfect too BTW.
