Anyone afraid they'll be disappointed in the production version?

Not at all worried about being disappointed in the production version.
The car will be better in every way. As for the car growing in size over the concept, that's a little far fetched. The concept car if anything was too wide, and it's length was within a few inches of the VE Commodore. I doubt anyone seriously thinks it's going to grow bigger than that.
Being an owner of the 4th gen, anything & everything about the 5th gen is going to be a jump forwards.
About the only thing that would dissappoint me is having those weak*ssed power window motors again.

My only fear is I might not be able to fit in it. Im 6'6" with a large frame.
Ive told Scott in person more than once, make sure I can fit in it and it comes in a SOM-like color and they have sold a car.

No, it won't be the size of a VE Commodore, but it'll grow compared to the concept. And that bugs me, since I personally considered the Concept at the upper acceptable range for overall length. Now, it's looking like it'll be beyond that.

As far as the car itself, the only dissapointment I might have would be if it has an LS2 instead of LS3.
Other than that, the only thing that would be dissapointing would them not being built fast enough and having a LONG waiting list (along with the dealer gouging that would probably accompany the wait).

an inch in height or length I dont think will be too bad.. The width is WAY to wide in my opinion. I dont think thats what you were looking for though...

It is hard for me to think I will be disappointed in the production car unless it is radically different than the concept. Part of that may be that I am a Firebird guy and wasn't really expecting to purchase a 5th Gen Camaro.

Just having it back is enough to not be disappointed. While I'm sure it will have certain characteristics I don't like, compared to being Camaroless, it will be hard for ME to be dissapointed unless it's just a total failure, and that's just not going to happen.
