Too bad it's not one of the production intent Camaros. The front end looks much lighter and better defined with the production headlights and grille.

We need the "Not the production headlights" smiley back!?!?!?!

I noticed that too. I'm not sure why they didn't show one of the production cars. Maybe one wasn't available or they were doing some sort of testing. Either way it's still really cool to see all three in the same picture.

This must have been some kind of press outing in the cars, because MotorTrend has photos just like this on their site as well.

that's a V6 Camaro, right? With the mail-slot?

Good point. Must have been one of the earlier IVERs.

Could this have been a GM shake down test? I have read many articles where they said they ran mustangs, challengers, g35's and 350z's along side the camaro as benchmarks.

on Camaro5's website, it said MT was taking that Camaro out for a spin and Jalopnik came and crashed the PR party with the Mustang and Challenger.

i really think those front lights look better, makes it look more aggressive. i can't believe everybody was complaining about them.

This just further proves that non "car people" get their hands on the new cars 1st. You know damn well would have lined those three up and find out what we have all been wondering about all along..."Just how badly will the Camaro kick the Challenger and Mustang's ass?":D

Don't be bitter that the new Camaro RS V6 is more powerful, better looking, and better handling that the Mustang GT with a V8. The Camaro has always been a better car, it just so happens that the entire Camaro line is now better than the Mustang!:lol:

Since when did the Camaro LT/LS get over 320 ftlbs of torque and weigh less than 3500lbs?

Maybe if the V6 had a tailwind and heading downhill towards a magnet factory.
