Which was a PITA with the 4th gens and their 68 degree windshield rake. When I drove them (never owned one), I learned to stop well behind the stop line at intersections just so I could see the light without cranking my neck or trying to peer through the t-top.

 

Damn, I am in love! Even with the autozone headlights it still looks great! I can't wait to see the finished model and the complete interior.

 

i think it looks similar to an 80's Monte Carlo SS

 

props looks kinda like the new chargers.

 

Personally, I dont care about any other chevy but Camaro and I much perfer the bowtie on the exterior over the Camaro emblem. It does look good clean though...

 

fastball,

Yep. I owned 1 2nd gen and 4 3rd gens and never bought a 4th gen because of the visibility issues. A real safety item for me.
Plus I would have had to take the rear view mirror off just to see in front of me.

I emailed Scott about a year ago and he said there would be some small improvements made here and there to accomodate taller drivers.

Looks like the higher windshield header is one of them and I also heard the seat might go lower.

Hi! And thanks for writing!

Yes, we're very much aware of that and will probably be making some subtle changes!

Man that is one SEXY beast! I love it!!! Mad props to you and your entire crew Fbod. Everyone.

Now my only question to you or anyone. Is there anyway I could get a custom paint job straight from the factory? Just a little curious. Fantastic job again.

 

Those windshields were huge with mamoth 22" wiper blades. From the outside you'd think "wow, you can see everything through there"...... then you get behind the wheel, and it all dissappeared

 

Comparatively, it was like looking out of the driver slot of a tank.

 

I love 4th gens!!! the only thing I dont like is you cannot see the front end of the car when you drive, you only see the windshield and the road which is kinda wierd....

 

You haven't driven that many cars if you find it wierd.

My 1995 Cavalier, 2002 Camaro, 2005 Aveo, my mom's 1990 Caravan, 2002 Concorde and other cars I've driven (late 90's and early 2000's Caravan) here and there don't have the hood visible from the drivers position. No, I'm not short.

 

looks nice, i am interested. I hope the interior changes a bit though,

I just got back into a 2000 camaro ss, when will this be on sale? Curious...begins production in a year, and maybe half to build a few looks like september 09' maybe ?

 

Wow this thing is going to be hot, its so exciting seeing this thing come together finally.

The front intake needs to be real, especially on V8 models.

I wonder if there will be different grills on different models.

 

I drive alot of cars in my proffesion, I pull in about 20-30 cars a day so I have noticed the few you mentioned as being the same as fourth-gens. but it is just different in the camaro, your so low, and that windshield is at such an angle its hard to explain, but yes I do still find it wierd, feels like there is nothing in front of me except a windshield. my third-gens are nothing like my 95.

 

Earlier Ford taurus is like that as well.


Once you get used to drving a 4th gen everything else sucks. IMO...IMO...IMO...
