Danno, I like the edit you made to the 3/4 window line - looks 70-72 Chevelle to me as opposed to Mustang. Evok alluded to covered headlights, I felt that he meant (semi-) transparent lenses as opposed to the RS covers from the first gen, smoking them would work too. I still don't think the drawing is what one would call retro....... just me though.....

And me.

To me the design is evolutionary without trying too much to look like Camaros from the past. Sure it uses styling cues from previous generations, but then so did the 4th gen (it used styling cues from gens 1, 2 & 3) and no one has ever called it retro.

I finished up some revisions to my original drawing. I have incorporated Danno's input and well, most of the modifications are subtle - very subtle.

I tinted the headlight covers, changed the 3/4 window treatment, scaled the wheel wells and wheels down and modified the spear lines and toned down the top of the quarter panel line and added red calipers to the brakes.

camaro ss take 2

he original is still there for comparison sake.

Original drawing

Others have modded it so I decided to as well since it was well, mine - I have stuck with only implementing feedback from those who have seen the actual car or have inside info though - not that some of your points can't be deemed valid - sorry.

I would like to say that since the front end treatment was changed after the clinic Danno went to I think we will see some slight differences in the lower front bumper. Take a look at how the 00- current impala has two split mock air intakes on the front lower corners of the car and the C5 vette had a similar look. I would expect to see this styling feature on all new Chevys. I would also expect there to be a place for the front tag. I know the C6 doesn't have one but the Camaro is a little more mainstream than the c6. The Cobalt doesn't have it so I may be wrong but I would expect something on there like that.
