Looks cool, even if the intro looks like it was based on the concept instead of the production car.

they have the concept in the video in the beginning. also on the page it shows the lt and ss camaro but the ss doesnt have the hood scoop but has the vents on the bottom of the front bumper and the rear of the fenders. its like they combined the concept and the production model. nice site other than that.
if you rotate the ss, it has the 19" wheels on it instead of the 20" wheels. i dont kow but they should get the page strait.

wow. there is alot wrong with that site if you go to the configurator. the black leather comes with orange stitching? i do like the idea of the different color interior dash panels but i thought that was on hold and they werent doing red because it looked like the orange?

Good thing you aren't ordering the car in Arabia, then.

Different countries put emphasis on different things. No need to dump all over it, you'll enjoy it much more if you try not to put accuracy constraints on it and just enjoy it for what it is. Kinda like the Fast and the Furious movies.

Maybe it has nothing to with the car, but was that a HUD they showed in the beginning of the vid?

I just noticed, if you hover over the engine selections, the manual has 462hp @6400RPM (426 hp net) and the L99auto has 441hp @ 6000rpm (400hp net). Is that flywheel vs. rwhp? The chevrolet stats have the hp measured @5900rpm for both.

I'm not nitpicking, I'm just curious. I originally thought typo as well but looks deliberate.

im not trashing it. you just figure that by now things would be pretty accurate. just a few minor flaws that most people probably wont notice.

Still doesn't really answer my question, maybe I'm wording it wrong but I'm not concerned anymore as I was pulling this thread off topic.

I like seeing the pictures of the different options though.

Yes it does... HP in the Middle east is measured differently than HP in the US, hence, the numbers are different.
