When is GM going to show the Concept at SEMA
Or if not the concept, something 5th gen. I have seen some clippings of the Boss Mustang(and other Mustangs) and saw videos of both Challengers there. Nothing on the Camaro yet?

I may be mistaken, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere that GM had no intentions of having the 5th gen on display at all at SEMA. They are waiting until the NAIAS to show the vert.

5th Gen is at SEMA
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/30/s...-then-and-now/
American Muscle is the theme of this year's SEMA show. Usually a single automaker is honored as manufacturer of the show and enjoys a little extra exposure during the week. With this theme, however, all three Detroit auto companies are celebrated. Muscle cars, their impact on American culture and the current resurgence of American iron dominated the discussion at the keynote luncheon on Monday. With a current Mustang and the Camaro and Challenger concept vehicles parked just off the dais, a panel of six industry experts talked about the renaissance of high-powered vehicles and the legacy of speed that was born in the '60s. Motor Trend editor Angus MacKenzie (far left in photo) was the moderator

Interesting. Ford and Dodge have these nice running examples and GM sends the toy. Is the Silver being used in a TV show or movie right now?? I need to go look that up again.
Nope just looked it up and that was a reality show between October 3-10. Here are the most recent dates posted for appearences from the sticky above.
Long Island -- Oct 19-23
San Francisco -- Nov 16-26
So where is the Silver one this week???

It just seems like there should be something big there involving the 5th gen.
The Boss 302 mustang is cool
The Challenger SS with a 392 Hemi is really cool
and
The no drivetrain Red Camaro is not that cool (the Silver is awesome).
Maybe we are all in for a surprise still, where is the Silver concept this week???

well it may be that im camaro biased, but the 5thgen doesnt look as "old" or "dated" as the other 2.. it looks more.... cutting edge if you will.. more, forward thought of.. Its hard to put in words, but it definately sparks more than the other two for me...
The stang, well its a stang....They're everywhere, and honestly, unless its a roush, a saleen, a GT500 with all that extra crap everyone puts on them, i really dont like it.
The Challenger, is a beautiful car, but lets face facts, its using the same chassis the 300c has.. which means its nothing more than mercedes, plus the overall design, well honestly, as much as I love chip foose, if I wanted a foosed 70s challenger, I'd buy a 70's challenger and ship it to foose.
The problem I have also with the other two is, whre do they go from there? I mean heck, there's no where for the design to go, except back to the 70's... the new 5th gen, while retaining its heretige, i think has many directions it can go if need be.
