My Brand New Camaro and Firebird Concepts!

Be sure to check all the pages, theres something different on all of them, but essentially they're all the same car, just different roofs, and front and rear ends. I didnt have a chance to do everything I wanted to do, since school is back in session I'm all out of what little free time I had over the summer, but I dont intend to do anything more with these since the Camaro will be back soon anyway
Concepts Link!
Thanx to Chris 96 WS6 for hooking me up with a link that will work everytime.
This link is to my website, all the same pictures but they are in the correct order and in the order everyone else has seen.

I think I'll take Camaro#2. They all look awsome, but Camaro #2 is my favorite. Good job

I must admit....You had me scared when you said "new" concepts!
LOL!!!

Good job putting together some known Chevy styling cues. Given the new autos and concepts that have come out, you may have hit close in a lot of ways.

I do like the styling creases over the rear quarters. Something about the greenhouse bothers me in a way....too sedanish?? Needs to be more angular....But given what GM is putting out it seems realistic.

Doesn't jump out at me, but I could grow to like it. And Firebird concepts as well!! Good Job!!

I guess I like Camaro#2, but I prefer the headlamps on the Firebird#2. I like the nose on Camaro#3, but not the back end. (Looks too 3rd gennish.) But I like the two-door SS most of all. (The bottom picture.)

The Third Gen styled car doesn't look it, more like a 4th or that terrible SS Concept. I'm not particularly crazy for any of them, maybe the 1st Gen, but you do good work and could probably do great work with some more ideas and direction.

I was just wondering has there been any official or semi official statement that there will ever be a 5th Camaro?

I was worried there for a second, a "new" concept around here lately hasnt been so, ahem, "new" more or less.

but u proved me wrong! not too bad on all of them, like Joe K. said, the creases over the rear quarters are pretty nice looking, adds a muscular tone to the car. also i like how u did a two door version of the SS.

Those look good. #2 Camaro seems to fit for some reason. I still think the "SS" concept was a test for styling of the RWD sports cars to come. The #2 Camaro has enough hints of that. I would be surprised to see round tailights though, those seem to be reserved for the the Vette now. The #3 Camaro tailights look good too. I like the #2 Firebird overall. Can you tell when I started noticing cars as a kid? '77 --->

That's the thing about the F-body, each generation is fairly distinct looking, and so you are probably inclined toward the generation that first caught your eye ... mid to late 70's for me.

I guess I put the emphasis on quantity, not quality with these, I kept hearing do one with a 2nd gen feel or a 3rd gen feel and so on, so I just tried to do one for all, and I wanted them all to be different so some of them may look a little weird. The front view started out as the "SS" concept, the rear view was the Solstice, I had planned on doing some other views to, just didnt end up with enuff time.
