Looks like the one that Nelson Racing Engines has been working on. It also looks like the F-Bomb car that they worked on is in a picture behind the 3rd Gen.

I don't think so. I have pics of the "regular" 21" wheels and there is no word of that finish. good for inspiration, though!

None. In fact, I was talking with Fitx today and my die-cast almost got him in trouble. They saw my renderings and asked him why I had leaked it, and he had to explain that a) I was never informed of the Camaro GS car and b) if I was informed, I wouldn;t have leaked it.

I had been working on my design for 6 months. It is pure coincidence.

Lots of pics of the GS please!!!!

I'll be getting quite a few, it may be a while before I can post the "good" ones.

SEMA 2008 end of day update 11-4-08

I am tired as hell, probably walked 50 miles today.

Saw all the Camaros at the display first thing this morning. They all look great, we got planety of nice pics but the iphone pics will have to do for now.

We talked to a lot of old friends at GM and made some new ones. You may want to listen to future Podcasts.

Seems that many cars had flat paint surfaces. Looked neat, but a fingernail scratch will make it look bad and I don't know how they can polish it out.

Lots of Challengers, and they all look pretty good. Some of the custom jobs are killer. Chris and I were talking and we both agreed that next year they will be replaced by Camaros. Everyone we talked to wanted to get one so they can start working on them. It is going to be a great year.

Did I mention that my previous Camaro is in the current issue of GMHTP? Yeah, it is. My point in mentioning that is that my next Camaro is already going to be visible. It will be at SEMA next year.

More on this in my blog as things develop, but this isn't just a plan, this is actually going to happen. Do I ever have a lot of work to do.

Going back tomorrow, we'll see if we can fire a few more quick pics this way.
