another thing i was just thinking about.........

i'm not really a big fan of the interior. what if we could get something more along the lines of the GTO interior(color match gauges, seat accents, and stitching). i know a few more people have suggested it and i really think it would set the car off in a huge way..............







.............or maybe we can make that a Z/28 only option

 

Ok, I missed a day. I've seen the pic's, but SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE H*LL HAPPENED YESTERDAY!

Please.

 

I've never wanted to go to detroit so bad.

 

Check the posts again.

 

I have been waiting years for this concept. I bought a GTO just to tide me over until the Camaro was back.

That said, I really like it, probably the only down fall is the taillights but as was pointed out somewhere else this obviously isn't the final. I really like the true dual exhaust. The IRS is a wash for me. I do like it in my current GTO. I can't wait to see it in person in Detroit. Now I want to know when I can buy one..

Is it possible to put money down now? I'm ready..

 

Boy, Scott asked for our two cents and got a hundred dollars....LOL!!!

 

We're pasionate! Plus the fact that everyone is trying to design their dream car. I personally had to throw in a remark about a 427.

 

That's what I think of you!

 

can i get an email of these things, please... I been trolling for five years for this and I miss one day.....

sinmale71@yahoo.com

thank you.

 

OK, my $.02....

Way too retro and an ugly rump was my first impression yesterday.

Now that I've has 24 hours to digest and reflect.....


What I like
1) The stance
2) The more sharply creased passenger side version
3) The glowering front fascia
4) The scowling rear fascia / light arrangement
5) The muscular rear fenders
6) The wheel design
7) Body color accented interior with aggressively bolstered seats
8) INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION!!!!!
9) Dual (for the most part) exhaust

What I can live with
1) Struts on all four corners
2) The crowd of people that will gather around everytime I park it
3) All the innocent bystanders that will get whiplash everytime one drives by

What I dislike
1) The retro, old school interior. Give me a modern cockpit please.
2) The exhaust tips. Flash is good but these are too over the top. Something a bit more tasteful please.

What I would add
1) A subtle ducktail spoiler on the trunk edge
2) The Camaro badge / ribbon / shield

What I'm hoping for
1) Front brake ducts
2) Rear brake ducts incorprated into the side "vents"
3) A light(er)weight, no nonsense, bad ***, ZO6-like Z28 model to wear said brake ducts


Verdict
A home run and I'm willing to bet the final show version is even better. The devil now is in the execution.

 

 

Scott,

I'm sorry, I told myself... don't look! but I caved to the pressure and I'm glad I did. This thing is gorgeous! I love it!

I only have a few suggestions...

1.) The tailights have to go and in there place should be dual round tailights ala early second gen.
2.) The interior scetches don't do it for me but I know they are scetches only so I'll wait to see what it comes out looking like but I think a true Cockpit feel is needed here. btw, you made a reference to a houndstooth optioned interior, I hope this is still true...
3.) Yes it does need a spoiler, 2nd genish style tall and prominant to make a statement!

Those are my only three things...


btw, I just scored a large commision on a large sale... how soon can I buy one


Oh, and Thank You!!!

 

I think it looks great, also that it looks similar to the rendition that johnnygmachine did.

 

Front lip, 1/4 window, body doglet above the rear fender, cowl all are there. I would also venture to say that the fender swooshes will be on the concept car. I hold firm to my belief that this clay is not a direct representation of the January car. I think this is older than 2003. I have my reasons, not insider related but gut feeling AND logistical.

 

i love the design in the pics. the only thing i would change would be the exhaust tips, they look like those kragen ricer tips. oh and use the circle foglights

oh and i have a feeling, provided there is good marketing and it isn't TOO expensive, this will play a big part in saving GM's ***. remember Chrysler and the 300C? perfect example of how one car (that isn't even incredibly practical) can really carry an entire company
