If they would lower the wing, drop the car and change the wheels it would looks amazing.

the silver grille mahes it look really cheap imho... it accentuates that the grille and front facia dont follow each other... love the rendering, alittle chopped, but that is a drawing.... but the rendering has fiwes all the little issues that make the kitted one look like a hyundai coupe concept..

it lacks some camaro spirit, dont know how to describe it, but it lacks the neatness of the 1.gen and looks like a sbling to the 05- mustang...

Don't really like the modded. Ugly in my opinion. The rendering looks sweet though.

Also in my opinion Ford themselves didn't get the Mustang right. Roush fixed it the way it should be. The basic GT is reasonable at best.

I'm a little concerned about the pricing of Camaro. I don't know if it's true or not but I heard the V8 car will be around $35K.

Chrysler just announced that the V6 Challanger will be in the low 20's. If the 5.7 Hemi Challanger is just under $30K...we're going to be in big trouble.

As far as the kit, it's a snapshot of where the development is. I'm not really gonna hang a lot of weight on these "progress" photos. I'll tell you one thing from experience, comparing clay to painted parts is like night and day. They never look integrated before paint.

I personally like some body kits as long as they're not overdone. Some people hate them because they look too "tuner". It looks to me like the kit needs a little more refining but I think it's a pretty cool direction. I also think that ANYTHING looks better than that Walmart grill that came on the concept car and the spy shots I've seen. However, I keep getting a late 80's Lumina Z34 vibe....good/bad?

The small wheels totally change the 'vert. It looks longer and lower but less aggressive. Just my $.02

so I went to the Denver auto show yesterday, they had the 09 ZR1 the new Camaro concept and the Challenger in orange and black with a classic orange and black challenger nearby on display

The Camaro looks like a$$ even in person IMO. The Challenger looked a bit chopped to me in photos, but it is really a roofline roll thing (that may be hard to get what I mean but best I can come up with ) It looks pretty freakin' cool actually. It has the typical really tall mid-section so common with Dodge vehicles these days that I am not too keen on (the car needs sectioned about 2") but I *think* that is trying to make the car fit the fricken wheels (the wheelwells are monsterous). Still, overall looks awesome and I am really waffling whether I like the GT500 or the SRT better visually.

The main thing I noticed standing there watching the spinning display is that women LOVE the car (not sexist, but let's be real... generally women couldn't care less about cars and are at those shows cuz the husband/BF/? drug them there haha). It was more often than not the guy was checking out the old car display, the woman would have wandering eyes and see the SRT spinning on the display and start in "honey, honey, OMG! look at that! wow! " etc etc while grabbing a hand and dragging the guy over there.

That tells me that they hit it right on the head!! If you can get both parties interested in the car, that will lead to sales for sure.

Now the ZR1. A bit ghetto with the see thru hood and after hearing all the guys standing around me seeming to make the same comment amongst themselves, but after that, that car is going to be a beast. Just unbelievable what GM is doing with the Vette in recent history. I more or less am still a blue blooded Ford guy, but GM has it all right since updating the Vette to the C6 (styling is much better than the C5 tho' I would still like a pop-up headlight) and introducing the "SBF" LSx series engines. Ford screwed up with that mod-motor crap and so forth IMO. Anyway, off rant, the spokesman talked to us for a bit about the ZR1 and all I can say is I am impressed. For the money (which I don't have BTW ) that car is a value by comparison to other super cars, tho' I think you could do much more with a $50K base model and $50K dumped into it (same money) but I am no collector.

Default Yuck!

And I jsut saw it at the NY auto show.

Even as Designed its ugly as sin.
That body kit is horrible.


That rendering on the other hand looks pretty nice.
the problem though is that the car is ugly from most veiwing angles

And I agree after seeing the challenger in person that the car is beautifull.
you may see me driving aroung in an R/T when they are released. Dodge nailed that one!
