can't say I like the kitted one, however I'm excited to see them hit the street, stock they look pretty cool, but I think they could go for a drop and a nice style rim. Just hope it makes a better impact in the V8 world than all of them cruising around being V6 base models.

they look like the new caddys made over, especially the modded one. I am just going to have to see one in person to make my final decision, but nothing really stands out on these camaros to me.

I like this one but I'm biased LOL! Where's the RS grills? Is this modified Camaro a GM offering or an aftermarket company? I like the chin. The rear wing has got to go, looks like it belongs on the trunk lid of an Integra to me.

Yes it is a GM offering, see the video here.

I am not a fan of either of the cars
Dodge pulled it off with the challenger and ford pulled it off with the mustang
Why can chevrolet?

Now, if it actually looked like that but with a higher, more sensible roofline I would be all over that car! Nice rendering BTW! The wheels in your sketch are much, much better and stick with an old-skool 5-spoke concept (assuming 18" diam, not a useless, heavy 20"+), the headlamp covers would be a simple addition and look great with that grill concept(!), of course the period correct spoiler looks right and I agree with a previous statement that their wing design belongs on a ricer (looks horrible and would be no better than a spoiler performance-wise anyway with that roofline). If they want to put a wing on it, put a fricken wing on it like the C6Rs and do it right for crying out loud.

Dig your scoop design and the mirrors too (I HATE the mirrors they have), but those could be easy after-purchase changes.

The car is too chopped for me to like, but that may not be the general population opinion of course. The Challenger is about 1" too low, the Mustang is spot on visually. SOT but if you ever actually wanted to track the car, how you gonna wear a helmet in that????? I have had my helmet rub on roofs of low-lined cars as is, let alone something chopped down like that. In the event of a rollover, I don't want immediate impact with the roof... the helmet may work but my vertebrae aren't going to like that squeeze much!
