Hot Rod magazine had a rendering of the rear with '67 style tailights. Awesome! My wife had a fit over it. Will have to wait awhile anyway; gotta pay for my vette first.

I realize NOW this should have been posted in OT (for all those that spent time opening and reading all the posts, sorry) but since its not locked yet, I have to say that SS pic Dave1 posted looks really 
If they come out with a Blue and white stripes with white interior, I'm definitely gonna have to get one, if I can afford $50Gs. With that said, ok mods, lock it down and send it off to OT land.

I'll make my final judgement on the car when I actually see a production car in person, but I do like the looks of the car in the pics. If they can keep it down to around $35K for the top model, I might consider one.

GM had the concept convertible on this year's Power Tour. Although still not exactly a production version, it's not an artist rendering either.
And to give you an idea of the size, this shot of a 1969 and the new concept together.

I think they should use a 5.3 liter and not the 6.0 Liter. That way, Chevy can compete if not beat the Mustang in Price. Put around 320-350 HP in it and price it around 26k and open up a huge aftermarket for it. I think only then will the Camero stay this time around. As for a 500 HP Dodge, well, who cares really? The GT 500 has 500 HP and people are still buying the GT Mustang more. Chevy has already proven that they reign one of best among power, they need to concentrate on sales. Chevy has for too long thought HP alone will win over consumers but, the Mustang always seems to out sell the Camero. That should have been a big indicator the first time around. People want a nice, cheap, fast car that they can modify without breaking the bank. I mean, isn't that what the pony car was intended for? Chevy needs to quit installing the Vette motor in every performance vehicle.

It will have to grow on me, It doesn't look anywhere near as good as the 4th Gen F-Bodies in my opinion. but I may get used to it. in my early high school years I actually didn't like the looks of the C5! I can't believe I ever disliked it at all. I don't remember why really, I just thought the Camaro looked better. My mind has changed some since then.

Dude, it is a forum get over yourself. If all you want to do is correct spelling, become a teacher. I will be the first to admit, I am not the best speller, and on a forum, who really cares?

No need to get your panties in a wad. Just thought you should be able to spell Camaro since it is an iconic car name and it has been plastered all over this thread...
