now this was put out a few years ago..but from what is being said it sounds like this might be the car that it mostly resembles..with a few added touches to go with the new info..


thinking that this could be a wonderful mistake of happenstance..this guy creates his version of the 5th gen Camaro...I know its not intended to be..I read the story 3 years ago..but what I am saying is this close to the car....and now his dream comes to life??

I keep drawing that car in my head but with the Nomads fenders on it..

anyone think so??

thats odd, cause i know there was speculation that the c6 z06 wheels will look like that.

I like the Third Gen GFX, but the sides are way too flat. The front and rear also need work to look like a Camaro.

well the sides would be "Nomaded" to have some flare..
and the front does look like a Camaro..as I have the toy..

GuionM...does this sound possible..the structure looks like what would be what people are looking for..more upright but still sporty..and has heritage cues of all ages...any others can you chime in??

I think that is the best 5th Gen "concept" yet GM needs to hire the guy that did Muscle Tone

I still like the Popular Hotrodding one.

But this one isn't bad.

I have one common problem with all of these concepts: the front end is too retro. Sure, it would be a nice car, but I just don't want a 69 with GFX.

Too retro?That looks very little like the 1stgen RS but yet it is still modern.
I tried morphing a '68 RS to look like the muscle tone but the wheels came out too small.

I like the lines and shape of the car but that front end is too retro. I am sure they could come up with something more modern and still be "Camaro". I would have to say that overall, that is one of my favorite concepts so far...............even though there hasn't been one that has really blown me away.

Isn't that the Hot Wheels Muscle Tone car?

It's very 1st gen influenced, IMO very close to being retro. I don't care for the fron tthow, too much or too many grill(s).

I like to see some along that profile and stance with a bit more body sculpting and a more sloping hood and windshield rake.

Take away the double grill, stripes, put a crease in the side, and that will be pretty cool.
