Hey Charley, how much room between your rear bumper and the wall? Man that looks close.

Chris, you guys did an awesome job. When I first saw it, my gut reaction was that I liked it a lot but it didn't rock my world. However, now I find that the more l look at it the more I love it. It really is everything I had hoped for. It's aggressive, oozes testosterone, has many design cues from the 1st Gens, and looks like it's going 100mph sitting still.

The only part that concerns me is how it will look with realistic sized wheels, we all know it's not going to roll on 22's. I can see 18's or perhaps 19's like the C6, but I doubt the General will go with anything bigger.



On a side note, the Buick Enclave is fantastic. I'd definitely put the family in that!

Scott, Thank for the good words.The wheel size is always a tough one.When you have really no borders you look for the largest wheel you can apply to a design.For sure on a concept car.
The design was suposed to be done in 3 weeks,turned out to be 4.Some of the ideas could have spent more time under refinment.The original model had been working for months.I believe 9.Maybe less.
During our crash and burn month we kept a song playing on the radio in the basement.A song Groove Armada called "I see you baby" this became our theme song for the car.
Must say I had a blast during this project.Lots of stress.But the best part was the great team of people that I was able to work with.

Do me a favor and buy those guys a beer for me. Just send me the bill and I will pay for it. What an awesome job you guys did. Really *standing ovation in progrss*. I have been saying on bulletin boards everywhere that GM needed to honor the legacy that was Camaro if they ever brought the car back, and IMHO you and your team did just that.

I have opened a savings account for my next new GM car, and I can't wait to see this in the showrooms. Give yourself a nice pat on the back and git-r-done!
