Default Finally! Great shots of Silver SS

Many thanks to Kevin for taking these GREAT shots at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, and GM for allowing these pictures to be released today.

Anyone saving pics, it was made very clear by GM to give credit to Kevin Kolvenbach if you post them elsewhere. Dont be putting your wartermarks on them and rehosting them.

no engine bay pics. scoop is non-functional. Having seen them up close, there's too much in between the slit opening and TB to get it there from the top of the nose.

For a retro'd design, it looks sharp.

(I would have preferred to see a streamlined aerodynamic evolution of the 4th Gen -- but that doesn't mean I hate this.)

Silver isn't the most flattering color for it.

I also wish it had blue bowties or classic SS badges in place of them.

So is the front on the SS going to be same as the front on the RS. The SS for the debut in Austraillia looked bigger!! I'm confused. Hope you all know what I'm talking about! I'll try to find a pic!

I was thinking the same thing. Nice car, but that silver is BORING to look at. Needs polished or chromed wheels and some hood/trunk stripes ASAP.

Uh, 'fake slits'? There has never even been a rumor that they were functional. They are simply a design hint to the original Camaro. :\ Not intended to even LOOK functional. Unlike the hood-scoop.

Woo! It's smaller than the Vette. Wheels are considerably smaller too.

Nope. Its the way the pic is. The Vette is in the foreground making the Camaro look smaller.

The tires are around a 275 or 285 I believe.

Camaro5.com has a huge thread going on with these pics.
