Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
I gave it a 10 
I'm not some nitpicking nancy boy, but I've got a few requests:
Tailpipes - I prefer a far more subtle look. Ditch the 4" chrome stuff and gimme a couple of clean, VERY slight slash cut steel tips(10-20º)
Interior:
1. cupholders please
2. put all of the gauges under a common hood, DIRECTLY in front of the driver.
3. Make the HVAC and radio controls more logically stacked. Side by side looks neat, but probably wouldn't work well in the real world.
4. Adequate illumination - my boss'....errm...wife's '99 Tahoe lights up like a football stadium (<----veeeeery important for us with rugrats)
Obviously, some stuff that would never make production needs to be, errrrm, revised for the 'real deal':
Wheel size - anyone care to know the cost of a 305/30/22 ? (358 smackeroos from Tire Rack)
Interior glitz and glam - unless they'll include a set of custom fit polarized specs and a lifetime supply of excedrine, sitting inside the thing probably wouldn't be too inviting.
That's it. I know, I know, I'm easy.......
.....Just gimme some option boxes to check and one of those little purdy dotted lines so I can sign away the rest of my soul...........

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
An outstanding concept. Only real problem is the uncertainty about getting it built.
As far as critiques go, just go with 17"f/18" r wheels (or 17s all around) and ditch the "bling" rotors.
I'm neutral on the interior. Somehow modern "retro" (gauges in the center console?) just comes off looking cheesy to me. But, the memories (my dad had a '69) are sweet.
My biggest surprise (not having been here in a while), is IRS. Kinda miss seeing that tradition go away, but only a little.
I just wish they'd get this baby out for MY '07.5 or '08 (don't know if they could make it for '07).
Thanks for the forum, and y'all have a good one,
Mike

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
10. I want.
I have never wanted a Camaro before(other than a resto-mod 1970 SS).
As long as it meets some basic requirements for me, I will buy one.
1. Usable back seat.
2. Entry level V8 version, with (at least) 300 hp.
3. It NEEDS to be affordable. I never considered the 4th gen as an option because the V8 versions were always more expensive than the V8 Mustang.

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
Hate it. Gave it a two. Looks like a Mustang/Charger hybrid. I won't be buying one of those.
Looks like I'm driving my 2001 SS for a while.
My next car will have to be a Corvette now.

OTOH, I did give it an 8
because for a 1st gen, upright, retro inspired car, it looks GREAT! And those hips, and the area where the doors meet the rocker panels and the rear fenders, sexy! Makes the Challenger look dull, plain and slab sided.
BTW, GM, build this or something like it, and I'd give it a 10 and buy at least one:

Re: OFFICIAL CamaroZ28.Com "Camaro Concept" Feedback Poll
I gave it a 10. I would buy it today with no changes and be 100% satisfied. I really like everything about the car. I think they definitely made a huge impact. It is truly worthy of the name Camaro.
However, if they do make changes before it hits production (and we all know there will be changes) I would like the outside of the front fenders toned down a touch. I beg GM not to do anything to make the look of the headlights change. To me that whole area is a masterpiece. They can make the egg crate smaller, but don't change the headlights. They give the whole front of the car an agressive look. The whole car looks like it is ready for battle!
