I think it looks freakin sweet. Of course I've always liked the 1st gen the best, and you can definitely see the 1stgen in that...

If you look close enough, you will see that this picture is based in part upon the Ferrari 360 Modena. Look particularly at the rear quarter where the intake is and also the rear side window.

I actually have one of the pics as my desktop wall paper at work.



It's a nice computer model, but I think a little too retro to ever see production.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't want one.

I don't think it's too retro. Using guionM's definition of retro (which makes a lot of sense), if you took that car back to 1969, I think people would recognize it as a Camaro, but it would DEFINATELY look like it was from the future, not like it was just another 60's car.

Just my .02

Thumbs up

Good lord that really is absolutely bloody fabulous!!!

I would buy that over the new stang. And if it came stuffed with LS6 goodness and the option to not have t-tops, I would buy that over a new Corvette too.

It just blows any of the latest GM concepts out of the water.

Neither do I... I actually like it. I'm just saying I don't see GM building it unless there are some changes... one for sure would be their new Chevy "cross-bar" concept would need to be incorporated. I also don't think a production version would have as much grill showing.

It might have looked like a future car back in 1969, like you said... which makes it look old and dated to me now, here in 2003, to me at least...

I like it.
I would like it even more if it resembled the 67-68 rather than the 69...........

It needs to lose that little scoop over quarter panels, then its perfect. Id buy one. However one reason I love my 4th gen so much is the fact that it has t-tops. Basically how I see it, Convertible when I want and hard top when I want. I can see a Convertible integrated into this design but not t-tops very well. Someone with talent play around with this pic, its one of the best yet and is a great start.
