Thumbs down

Oh man, here we go again. Who did that. I sure hope no one at GM did. The hood and fenders look rediculas.

guion: No, I'm not kidding at all. Which part you think I'm kidding about? I see nothing wrong from the firewall back, or should I say.. thermal event separator. It's pure 1st gen. As far as the front of it, I don't like the silver bar or the convoluted hood/fender lines any more than the next person. A lot of people may have gotten a bad first impression by those gigantic SSR-type wheels, but it's more instructive to judge the car itself and not the wheels, since they are so easily swappable. As far as it being a photo, not a computer model, I've used those programs someone mentioned in the previous page and I'm still not convinced. There's a zillion different light sources going on here, not just 4 or 5, and the reflections are just too "analog" for it to be fake, mostly on the driver's side hood, roof, etc. That ambient glow in the interior just doesn't happen by itself in a computer model with a few handy mouse clicks. Same with the way the front windshield ever so slightly fades everything on the other side of it. Those are natural effects very hard to duplicate convincingly. The seats and wheels are near identical to a possible SSR prototype's, among other things, so I'll concede it *may* be a highly photoshopped SSR photo from an indoors car show, probably the 00/01 NAIAS, but there's no way it's a computer model. One way or another, there's a photographic element to this pic. Till I'm proven wrong of course Why drag this out so long? Because on the off chance that it *is* a real car, then I want to see more of it ASAMFP. If anyone knows this Radovan Varicak guy, he should be able to settle it. he's credited as having made that image.

Photshop?

I don't know but I do remember seeing it. I agree the *** end is right off the 67-68 Camaros(I'm all for that). The front is but ugly, lets hope if thats it they do some thing about that!

That car is not only terrible looking, it was said that it would not be a Camaro once already a while back.
