Getting my butt chewed out by locals...

We all know that the LS1 Camaros are sometimes mistaken for Sebrings ...and in a wierd way I think so too...it really sucks. I'm not one for stickers and stripes as some people mentioned to me I should do...I like it plain and simple. I just need some reassurance that our cars DON'T look like Sebring's or any Mopar for that matter...I may have a complex now. I need some fighting words to fight back....also I got the Catfish thing

What do you think?



For those of you that think so...what would you change about your LS1?

The two cars DO look alike!! It's all in the headlights. I've been parked side by side with one, and I spent a moment and compared.............damn! WAY too similar! I'm afraid you're just gonna have to deal with it .

Sorry, Sebring look like Camaro's and 98 and newer camaro's look like carfish. That's why I got a 97, more of a shark than a catfish!!!! LOL.

Yeah. I think they look like catfish. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the car before it came out. No offense, but when I saw what the '98 camaros were going to look like, I made sure to buy a '97. I was only about 3 months from being able to order a '98 too. Even though I don't have the LS1, I wouldn't like to drive around in a '98 or newer. Just my opinion. I'm sure there are many people who are just the opposite. They like the newer front end better than the '93-'97.

By the way, I don't notice the catfish thing as much in a darker paint color. It's the light paint color that makes the black mouth show up so much on the '98 and up camaros. I'm more used to it now though.

I don't think they look all that similar to sebrings.

I just don't like the Z-28's they look like a bigmouth bass coming at you on the road
But, the SS's can pull off the look I guess it's the hood

Just get a SS hood or some kinda hood other than stock and It'll look hella better I think

I think you're just going to have to deal with the fact that you need to get your eyes checked.

I never saw the likeness with a Sebring. Ever. And Im always surprised nobody said it looks more like a Concorde, the hood lines and everything are percisely the same. I wouldnt be surprised that you sould fit a Concorde hood on a LS1 without a problem.
