Opps. I ment LS7

 

I was there and i got to touch it


If I could have ordered one then I would have,, BUILD IT

 

I think It's a Curse...I love my 98 SS, I've looked at 350Z' and other imports and BMW etc...even brought myself to check out the new mustang, but I know if i buy anything like that it wont be the same as My Camaro. Theres just something about a Camaro that i cannot get over. Anyways, I was so excited to see a new concept i showed every person i know. I Love it and will be pre-ordering as soon as possible.

This baby better be able to kick some A$$ like they used to otherwise....challengers will look like a real good alternative to people...Waiting till 2009 will be to late especially if the challenger will be out late 07 early 08.

 

The grill is terrible: Make it either less egg crate with smaller inlets or do the RS thing w/hideaways.

Rear lights are terrible - Make them either slits like the 69 RS ones or 67's rectangles w/ lower reverse lamps.

Price it reasonable. Oh, and no converter lump on the pass. side floor for heaven's sake.

 

i gave it a 9.. i love it the way it is, but there are a few details i think could be improved, but i don't hate them

1.. the grill has been mentioned a million times.. it's grown on me, i don't mind it, but it could look a lot better.. an idea.. that i've posted a few times maybe hear and on other boards.. have a lot of different dealer installed grill options like Chrysler did with the 300.. customizable to the buyers taste.. anyone else think this is a great idea?

2.. the mirrors.. obviously conceptisized.. i like the basic shape.. but they need to be taller and thicker a bit..

3.. the taillights.. they are starting to grow on me, but i think it'd look better with just two rectangular taillights ala the 69 camaros.. like below.. not the greatest chop in the world, but you get the idea


4.. the interior.. the main guage cluster? no way.. definately way to conceptisized.. i don't think it'll ever make production that way.. i'd rather have a thoroughly modern interior, that seems to wrap around you like you are in the cockpit of a fighterjet.. the interior needs to appear to belong in a more expensive car than it's in.. like GM did with the Aveo.. that is one nice interior for a sub compact.. if they can make it look that nice in such a cheap car, they can make it look that much nicer in a car that costs more

 

I am very impressed with the concept with most the same complaints as the rest of you (i.e. exhaust tail lights) but am I the only one insulted by the fact that the firebird is left behind dont get me wrong Ill take what I can get and have always liked the camaro more but its like peanut butter no jelly.

ps
I know Im not the only one who thinks a girl in a trans am is F!@#$ hot

 

Thanks GM for bring back the Camaro got real sick and tired of looking at Mudstangs all day.

I have read all the posts that all Camaro lovers (like myself i own a 91 Z28)
has posted and I agree with alot of them.

#1. The price is going to be the most important thing. That will determine wether or not the car will sell....of course. GM has to compete price wise with Ford That was the reason they stopped selling them in the first place!
The Mudstang is one of the #1 selling cars right now and it's not because it a good car, well all know it's a POS it's the price. A GT fully loaded for under 37G's....you can't beat that. You have power,the drive and the look for a decent price, although 35,000 a good price? Times have changd haven't they

If the next Camaro comes out and it's priced like the 4th Gen then don't bother making the car cause it won't sell again. I did not and will not spend that kind of money on a sports car. The 4th Gen Camaro was at almost 50G's!(CDN) Who can afford that nowadays? I sure couldn't afford that,alot of ppl couldn't afford that even with payments. How's the SSR truck selling? Ya, it's not....80G's for a frikin truck, what the frik are you thinking GM?

#2. I like the look of the car but I really had my heart set on Kris Hortons' concept. If you haven't seen what i'm talking about, go to google and type in "2007 camaro". That front end of GM's concept needs to be totally changed. Yes it does look like the BMW/MERC's type of car also. But they do have the right idea but I think Kris hit it on the nose. All the guys love that car and said they would buy one if it comes out and they all drive Honda's

#3. The interior needs to be moderen. Sure the retro is nice but it need to be better than the rest. GM will not make the F-Bird or TA but just think what the interiors look like compared to the Camaro. Thats the interior that car should have with CUPHOLDERS PLEASE!
Also one post said that the back seat should be more friendly to back passengers like the 1st Gen which I totally agree with, that is such a good point!

That's my 2 cents. I rated the car a 7 because of Kris Hortins design I like so much more

 

I PhotoShoped a picture of the concept, giving it a billet grille. It looks good, but I cannot post attachments. Can someone help with this?

I have seen a lot of posts regarding the grille, taillights, and other little details. The way I see it, whatever Chevrolet does not "fix" for the people that could do without certain things on the concept, can always be changed with the abundant aftermarket world we have today. I was not blown away by the grille at first, or the taillights, or even the exhaust pipes....but I must say once I saw it in person today at the LA Auto Show, It looks for lack of a better word, PERFECT. Let's face it, car can be modified via aftermarket accessories.

 

i, for one, am viewing it every time someone posts a new post.... at least every post since i first posted
