Still got the same ugly body. Disgrace to the ZL1 heritage.

The new Hot Wheels Camaro reminds me of the styling mis-cues of the Corvette or the progression of the new gen Mustangs. I'm hoping when they restyle it we'll see similar positive changes.

Eliminate curvature in nose, reduce the rocker to window sill dimension, tighten the ass-end up a little and it has potential.

I like the motor though, and I'm sure the insurance companies will appreciate the opportunity to increase rates.

As far as the music goes, I'd have to be listening to Molly Hatchet Flirtin with disaster.

wow sounds like alot of people just wish they started reproducing 69 camaros. i know this next statement will probably cost me my latg membership but..... 69 camaros to me arent the best looking to begin with! and yes i do agree that the new ones arent either!

both the new camaro and challenger have the same main problem, the are way too tall in between the rockers to the windows. they look like the fat chicks the are in jeans 3 sizes smaller than they should ever be seen in.

Ford still has the best looking retro styled new muscle! and that new 5.0!.... wow!

also if i could take one of the new camaro or challenger and section them about 2 inches they would intantly be 100 times better

Brycen, I completely agree. The Mustang wins the styling, yet I heard the Camaro out sold the Mustang for the first time in 20 some years? The customers wallets over-rule free opinions every time.

Giving credit where credit is due - yes the Camaro did outsell the Mustang...not by very much though. Here's the big "but"...BUT don't forget that this restyled retro Mustang had already been around for 5 years before the Camaro was raised back to life from extinction. And the 2010/2011 Mustang styling is just a refresh on the 05-06 bodystyle. Not really new news? Based off of what i read here about how much die hard Camaro fans aren't too fond of the new Camaro styling. Plus with the beating the new 5.0 Mustang is putting down on the portly Camaro SS it won't be long before the Mustang sales scales tip the other direction. 50th anniversary for the Mustang is looming on the horizon along with an all new Mustang for 2014 with IRS, no more retro styling and it will be sold as global car. Gonna be really ineteresting to see how the next couple years pan out in the pony car wars! I did I leave the Chally out? Probably because it won't be around. The Challenger is cool, yeah yeah Hemi, nice styling but not competitive in bang for buck. Slowest, and heaviest....

Don't hold back Todd.

The original ZL1's weren't necessarily striking with the lovely hubcaps and all, but I'd have to agree. The new body style leaves a lot to be desired. The new Corvette ZL1 is badass in my opinion, but the Camaro, well, not so much. If they do end up cleaning up the lines on the new Camaro and really allowing it live up to its potential, I wonder how much the current fugly generation would (not) be worth?

Yah, if I wanted a proper representation of a ZL1 Camaro, I'd go vintage and have me a 69 with a ZL1 block in it like Todd's.
