Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
Based soley on the videos and pictures:...
I gave it a 9, as a concept...
Kinda retro to me, waiting to see it in person Saturday for final accessment.
Hang-ups...grille: too gray, gaping, '90'sish....,
Instrument panel, interior: too over the top, in your face obvious. Put everything where I can easily see it, "cues" not copy.

9. Only because of the egg crate grille that looks odd. I know this can be taken care of with aftermarket parts but it would be nice to have a billet or similar from the factory.

The car seems a little "Tonka" truck like that is why a rated it a 7. I would have wanted it to have a little more retro styling with flowing curves than straight lines with sharp angles. The rear end looks porky. Window area is narrow but profile is nice. The small window area makes the car look chunky. The Camaro is supposed to be a sporty car. Sporty cars are not supposed to look porky. That is where Dodge screwed up with the Charger.
Tail lights need to be round similar to 70 models or make them similar to 69. The current ones do not work for me.
Dodge hit the nail on the head with the Challenger.
Just my 2 cents.

In fact, if you were watching the webcast today, the car that was following the red ZL1 Camaro was a RS/Z28, Garnet Red with black vinyl top and cross ram DZ302. Hideaway headlights and RS trim. That's an original car, not rebadged.

The Concept car needs those recessed lights. A pair 69 wide Racing Stripes will go a long way. Id take one Lemans blue with black strips. When I saw Vette had the Le Mans Blue The origional Camaro had, I thought the Camaro was not far behind it. Hoping anyway
Functional brake coolers front and back. Thats functional shark gills!

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
I gave it an 8 on the exterior, and an 8 for the interior. I think the roof needs to be 1-2 inches higher, and maybe do a modern version of the 1st gen tailights. I think a higher roof would ease entry, and would IMPROVE the look. I recall one the main reasons the Camaro sales dropped off, is because (once you got used to the excitement, 2-3 years down the road of how car looks), graceful entry/exit could be challeging, and in tight parking spaces. That was one of several reasons that the Mustang kept the strong sales with males AND females. Like it or not, my '69 had the best layout for day to day use of all the Camaros I owned. It had a real trunk, was easier to enter (dont have to hold the door with one hand, while getting out) and the back seat "seemed" to be more friendly to passengers, cause they had a window to look out, not the interior sail panels. So whether you like retro or not, IMHO, GM is spot on in trying to mimic the 1st gen proportions, because that is a way to ensure longevity.
The current Mustang is a huge hit because the proprtions are right on; and the Challenger will be a HUGE hit for the same reason, and also because Mopar guys have been hurtin' for a 2 door V8 ponycar for the last 30 years. I would love to see all three of these cars (Camaro, Mustang, Challenger) in a modern road race setting like the Grand Am series; it would be like the old Trans Am days of legend.
I gave the interior an 8 simply because it looked like a concept/car non-production interior, just a little flashy. However, the layout of the instruments is dead on for using the heritage of the 1st gen interior.
Overall, I think the car is very good looking, and if it went on sale tomorrow, I'd go stand in line at the local dealer to purchase it.

I give the exterior a 9. I think everything turned out great. True, the front end is a little different than one would expect, but I definitely think it could grow on all of us. Like most have already said, the side profile is EXCELLENT!
As for the interior, I GREATLY dislike it. I don't like how it went retro at all. It seems like there's WAY too much space. Another thing that bugs the hell outta me is how there's so many shiny materials. I think it needs to be less 'busy', with more comfort and modernization (like C6 or GTO)
So yes, overall, GREAT place to start

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
exterior i gave it a perfect 10. The egg crate grille does look better in person, but there are other more attractive grilles that have been ps'd. Other than that ill take the exterior just how it is!
interior... id say start over. Im not a huge fan of retro interiors and split guage clusters and recessed guages.also the auxiliary dials and displays and what not have to be moved if nother else for practicallity

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
i gave it a 10. the exterior is exactly right to me.
i'm not a fan of the interior that much, but i know things will get changed from the concept to the production model.
this is the first concept car i have ever seen that completely blew me away!

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
I gave it an 8.
Of course this is just a concept, but that car in that form can not have t-tops and that is the biggest gripe I have.
Other than that, I love it.
