Re: 5th gen size poll.

I dunno. What dimension are you referring to in size? I don't really want to see the height of the car increase any more than it has to.

Re: 5th gen size poll.

Re: 5th gen size poll.

I haven't had the fortune of seeing it in person, so I can't really say objectively. I expect the roofline to be raised based on what I've been hearing, but other than that, I like how it looks as is.

would prefer em to stay the way they are. dont need the overhang. besides look at any camaro after 74 till 02. everyone of those things had overhang. i thinks its ugly. prefer em sitting flush.

I think the concept is a little wide, if thats what you mean but increase in other areas. Overal I think it will be the same size when everything is added up.

Re: 5th gen size poll.

I'd really like to see the width come doesn to 3rd gen/4th gen size. From talking to a few people who race, if the car gets too wide it can feel sluggish or "un-nimble" dispite the numbers it'll post. Maybe this is why John Heinricy (sp?) was/is arguing for a narrower car? Plus, I'd like it to fit on my trailer eventually.

The length seems OK, the cowl seems a little high tho. I dunno, in person and in pics from too many angles it looks more like a 2-door sedan than a proper sports car/coupe.

I can't understand anyone wanting it taller. It's already 53 inches tall, taller than a 3rd or 4th gen, as tall as a 1st gen. If you need it taller, why not buy a sport truck?

Although...you can build this one as-is and make all the 'get it right' changes on the 6th gen.

One last thing....it's gotta be light!

Re: 5th gen size poll.

If anything smaller = lighter = less frontal area, etc. so if it has to go either way smaller is the best IMO.

Re: 5th gen size poll.

You forgot one optional answer...

"Stay exactly as it is now."

I think it's perfect as is, so I can't answer in this poll.

Re: 5th gen size poll.

If it gets taller and narrower, that's going to suck bigtime. If that is the way it is going to be, I wish they hadn't teased us with that beautiful, brutal, rolling sex that is the concept.

Re: 5th gen size poll.

They have to fix something to make sure that people larger than 5'-9" can fit in it without touching the headliner, like a Hot Rod author did.
