This time I hand drew one and "tried" to color it with paint shop pro. I realize it isn't very good, but what do you think of the design? I didn't really base it on another car other than a 93-97 Camaro, but I get a Ferrari 360 Modena feeling from it.

It strays a bit away from the usual long hood look because lately I've been realizing that a Camaro is really bothersome in a big city. We've been looking for a cheaper apartment, but our turning radiuses on the cars are too large to make the turn in on the garages of cheap apartments. So for this design, I tried to make a Camaro that might be less of a hassle to drive and get into a garage. Instead of just babbling on, I'll let ya'll share opinions.

well, imo, it looks too much like a 93-97 camaro
although i do love the style (i have one:D ), i think it's time to move forward a little bit
also, the long hood is a classic trademark of the camaro and by shortening it, you're only making the doors even bigger:D :p
and trust me, people think the doors on the 4th gen are already long enough
good work though, keep trying:)

Hmm, yes you are right about the doors. The doors are already too huge. But I don't know how well an RX-8/Chevy SS suicide half door would go over with most fans. I certainly don't like the idea of them on a Camaro... Maybe I will try another design based on the C6 and the GTO...even though I don't like the way the GTO looks :o.

Alright, here we go, a 2005 Cormaro, I like it, but I couldn't do much with it... plus the front end isn't exactly the same angle, it is a few degrees off.

That further reinforces my thought that the C6 front end would have worked on a Camaro.

The rest of the car needs sharper angles and the rear end needs to be redesigned but I can't just whip that out with a smudge here and there. I think it looks great though. If Cadillac can make every dang car in their lineup look exactly alike I don't know why Chevy can't do something similar. I really really really don't want a retro Camaro. And I really really really don't want a Camaro that looks like the GTO, there's already enough competition in the cars that look like BMWs. (I was going to put the GTO rear end on that design I just posted but couldn't stomach it.)

neither of them would be welcome in my driveway. Move away (a lot) from the 4th gen in design.
I never thought the 4th gens had a very large hood. It looked equal in size to the rear. First, 2nd and Third all had visualy long hoods, yet the 4th didnt give me the same impression.
