Love the wheels. They're very "early thirdgen-esque".

Now all we need are the optional wheels to go with them.

I like it, and can't wait to see the translation into production. I really, really hope they deal with a lot of the practical issues .... we don't want another generation of "cat hump" whining.

Anyone else notice the LS2 on the cover where the intake manifold is? Don't know if the engine has been confirmed but this might put an end to the LS3 or 6.2L debate

I don't think it is a redline tire as it seems to be more of a orange accent on the lip of the rim..

I doubt that. There wont be an LS2 when Camaro begins production. GM uses the LS2 now because, well we have the LS2 now. Powertrain is still up for much debate.

I like the digital readout in the IP cluster...but still hate the interior. Maybe next year they'll add the production interior?

Just imagine how much better it will look in daylight with a p&s camera!!

I hope this is a sign that the seats, seatbelts, and door handles might be a go. That would be a real cool step ahead!

Gotta disagree with you guys, I like the interior. (Although the gauges could use some work and the LED display is way too small for that much info)

Any idea what the "radiation symbol" is on the dashboard? Is that supposed to be a fan symbol? (Inside the steering wheel on the lower right)

Nice looking colors, similar to the C6 Atomic Orange. My concerns are the dinky door mirrors and the critical engine gauges down by the driver's right knee.

If you look at the close-up of the dash there's a compass in the display, so at least they're thinking in that direction. I don't mind either way, since the aftermarket portable units are cheaper and you can keep up with the technology as it comes out if you want to.

theyre using the ls2 in it becaust thats the current performance v8 GM uses. If the LS3 was in production they probably would have put that in.
