Way to go GM...
people -- I'm begging you -- please trust me -- the picture you see of the back of the black car is not s good picture-- there is a picture that someone took of a 4th gen to prove this in this very thread.......
Someone got close to the car - - stooped real low -- and took a picture -- but the car looks narrow and high. Believe me -- if you liked the concept -- you'll love the production car.

If folks like the concept, they should love the production car. Personally, I think the production is a better execution of a "Camaro" than the concept... and the concept is damn good.

what really kills the picture is the use of real wide lenses.. which makes the butt appear huge and tall. I think I will take some pictures of my corvette tonight showing the differences between wide angel and narrow lenses. It make a WORLD of difference. But yeah.. that picture of the butt doesn't worry me at all.
The pic of the rear end is wierd. A lot of it can be attributed to the angle and the lens.
However, I don't think any F5 should roll out of the factory without the rear spoiler. It makes the rear-end look so much better.
The placement of the reverse lights is questionable. I would have liked to see them in the center of one of the taillights (one on each side).
These are by no means deal breakers for me. I will still buy a convertible when the demand dies down and the raping ends.

I going to go out on a limb and state that the base Camaro will be sans spoiler, and at least the top dog will get something added. (Perhaps the SS as well.)
I actually like the clean look without the spoiler. Reminds me of the Corvette.
(And the rear tailights with the chrome accent reminds me of the tailights on a 68 RS.)

This is what the front of the Mustang has always reminded me of-

Only not half as cute...
Bingo!
I will post the pictures tonight just to show everyone what a difference it makes with the same exact car. It might be a dirty Corvette.. no time to clean it up for the picture.

People, listen to the man! Has he ever led us astray? I think not. I think the car looks great! I even like the rear shot, even though it's a bad angle. I'm ready to see them hit the streets! GTO Jack, if you've blown up six 10-bolts already, why don't you replace it with a 12-bolt? If you break something because you modded the car, common sense says that the part you broke wasn't strong enough, so you need to replace it with something stronger. Just a thought.
100% Agreed. Thanks for posting.
And this stuff about the 10-bolts. Pure baloney to claim they're weak. I'm brutally hard on my cars... and my 99 Formula stood up to three years and 40k miles of my merciless lead foot without a whimper. Gee, a 150 shot and DR's caused problems for GTOJack? Who'da thunk it? (

)Exactly! I've seen people brutalize a few 10-bolts with stock or better than stock tires and have no problems. I worked at a race shop for 6+ years, so I've seen it all. I never saw anyone bring in pieces of a 10-bolt because they grenaded it due to mild mods and stock tires. Just my 2 cents.
anyone who thinks a 7.5 10 bolt is adequate is living fantasy land. why couldnt they use the 8.5 10 bolt? its twice as strong and barely weighs any more. the 7.5 looks like a toy beside other rearends. theres no doubt its weak. small ring gears and pinions, huge case/pinion deflection. poor bearing sizes and posi carrier beefiness. ford can afford to put an 8.8 into a mustang for how many years? thats a good all around rearend. so is the 8.5 10 bolt. 7.5 is meant for 6cyls and toys.

That thing looks like it's frowning and has droopy eyes when you look at the front.
