Wink Side View 5th Gen Camaro Concept

I have a side view pick for yall to see, I know most of you dont seem to like the retro design ive done or even the idea of a retro Camaro, but from this angle maybe most of you wont think its as retro as you did before, you can clearly see this isnt a '69 Camaro, and if you still dont like it thats ok, cant please everybody. None the less, let me know what you think. Click on my link here, Generation V Camaro, and go to page 4 side view, and for those who care I will be doing a roadster sometime soon. Ill post again when its ready.

I've added an animation to the page so everyone can see the 69 and my concept so you can see how different they really are, take a look.

I would HAVE to buy that. If the 5th gen came out looking like that. I would figure something out. Maybe even sell my current camaro if I had to. That is awesome! Great job

I actually like the fact that its "curvy".... you don't want it to be too retro.

Looks great man but I agree it needs to be a little more edgey as well. Side view from the top line along the top of the trunk looks alot like a viper. if you sharpen it up a little it will make it a little more unique to the old Camaro. Good work though man, I wish I could do half as well. I dont think I could cut and paste an actual pic that good.

Thanx guys, I did have some people say it looked kinda like a Viper and a Ferrari, the original pick I started with was th SS concept, so it was kinda curvy to begin with, and I tried it with a little more edge and it just didnt look right like I wanted, so the way I describe it is that the flares ar obviously '69 Camaro and the curvy fenders represent th '67 and '68 Camaro's since they were more curvy, I agree it needs work, just changed a little here and there, but I like Ferrari's and Viper's to, I wouldnt mind having a Camaro that looks like the first gen Camaro's and some of our modern super cars, but I am still messin around with the overall look of the car, everytime I do another picture of the car it gets a little closer to what I'd like for it to be. And hey LT1Runner, I just checked out the site, very nice, I havent had a chance to read thru it all yet but thats on my to do list. Thanx again guys.

I didnt even notice that but I whole heartedly agree-When it warm and the suns out and you are cruisin, T-tops are a must!
