It still looks very good, and has been growing on me since my first post. Out of all the cars pictured I would say it looks the best, with the dark blue one coming in a close second.
So would you guys have been disappointed if this car had turned out to be the Z/28 as is, TT V6 and all. I think if it were lighter than the SS and had the power to keep up with GT500, plus outhandle and out brake it I would be pretty happy, but part of me would definitely miss the 8.

I think folks are trying to stretch any "special" concept into the next Z/28 now. It kind of reminds me of a few years ago when folks tried to stretch the Torana TT concept into the 5th gen Camaro. Come to think of it... wasn't that Charlie as well?

This one had a legitimate shot at being the Z/28. The design cues, minus the hood, follow almost everything that has already been leaked or mentioned, so it isn't as much of a shot in the dark as the Torana example. Add in that it was made by GM and shown in their teaser video and I can completely understand why people were jumping to that conclusion.

PRESS RELEASE
The Jay Leno Camaro
Powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V-6 that is standard in Camaro LS and LT models, Leno's Camaro blends high performance with surprising efficiency in a racing-ready package. A pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers blows through a custom air-to-air intercooler, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425. That's about 40 percent greater than stock and in normal driving (when the turbochargers aren't making boost), there's virtually no penalty in fuel economy over the non-turbocharged 3.6L engine.
"Jay's Camaro offers style, performance and efficiency in a big way," said Dewar. "It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6."
Supporting upgrades for the turbo system include a larger-capacity Be-Kool radiator and a custom exhaust system, as well as a Centerforce-supplied clutch and pressure plate for the six-speed manual transmission. The tubing for the turbo system is powder-coated blue. The powertrain was designed to deliver consistent, controllable power for both the street and race track. In fact, road racing was a primary mission for the car during its development.
Additional vehicle also support its racing intent:
* Brembo six-piston brake package
* Pedders coil-over lowering kit
* New front fascia with custom fog lamps and integral brake cooling vents
* Air extractor-style hood
The exterior styling of Leno's car is the most radical of all the Camaro concepts at SEMA. The front fascia and hood are one-off creations, as are the unique upper and lower grilles and the ground effects package (including a rear diffuser). The heritage-inspired vent styling in front of the rear wheels has been replaced with functional brake cooling ducts.
