EXCELLENT JOB GM. Now we basically see what the car is going to look like, what is next to look forward to untill the release of this bad boy on the street. Maybe the interior? Also, the front grill looks SO AWESOME, but doesn't the grill kinda look like the grill from the "SALEEN SPECULATION PHOTOSHOP" thread.

This picture just brought back all the excitement that I had been missing as of late!! As others have mentioned (and I may have missed the previous discussions) is there any word on whether the "gills" and front intake will be functional? I hope, for the love of God, that GM doesn't take the Mustang route on us.
I guess I'll just continue to "keep the faith" in Scott and the team!

Woohoo!! That is sex on wheels! I am impressed at how close they are staying to the concept with this car. I love everything about it! A special thank you to Scott and the rest of the Camaro design team!!!!

Only big difference I see is the brake cooling ducts are gone but if this is the V6 model there may be a slightly different V8 bodywork. Absolutely amazing job on the part of the whole GM team keeping this car true to the concept. In fact i think this car is more true to it's concept than the Solstice was to it's. Again, fantastic job guys. Big pat on the back. Scott ain't lying when he says keep the faith.

Questions
1) What is the actual story with regard to the air inlet indentation? Will the lesser models have these indentations? Is the opening just for show even when it has a grill covering?
2) If that air inlet is for real, why put it there? This has bothered me from the concept. If you want high pressure air, that's not the place for it. In fact that is going to be a low pressure area. A better place would be at the cowl (not feasible I know) or above but inside the radiator opening. In other words have the air inlet open down and inside to the above / front of the radiator. Plenty of cold high pressure air there.
3) Why is the fuel filler apparently on the passenger side?
I've been wondering about these things and would appreciate any real insight (*cough*Scott*cough*). Not looking for speculation or a war of opinions with this one.
