Default new camaro next to 4th gens?

Does anyone have any pictures of a 5th gen next to a 4th gen? I'm curious to see the overall differences, stance, size etc.

I dunno man I thought about it for a while and I really think if I had the chance I would trade my 02 Z28 for a new SS. They look badass as hell, have a better engine, handle better, and are just higher quality than the 4th gens. I'm just tired of always having to fix or replace something, the stock clutch/master cylinder is terrible, brakes are terrible, stock shifter is terrible, steering is very heavy, it's just a big money pit... $5000 later I'll have a bitchin car though.

I'm not saying you are wrong about the better quality, but unfortunately, You don't know for sure yet as the car has only been around for it's first year. There will be bugs with the new camaro, just give them some time to show themselves.
Personally, I like the new camaro, but I still say the body lines of the new Camaro cannot compare with that of the 98-02 Trans Am

I love my WS6 but did GM build the new Camaros with an S10 rear end, weak clutch and fisher price radio?

I'd have to agree about the initial build quality being better for the 5th gens. My buddies feels solid as hell.

I agree about the Trans Am. Nothing looks more badass than a WS6. Those curves and flaring nostrils are just sinister. I was originally looking for a WS6 when I was looking for a new car but a 6-speed leather t-top low mile excellent condition Trans Am is hard to find. Then I came across my Camaro and couldn't pass up the deal.

Hmm is it just me or does the 5th gen seem to sit a bit higher? Especially in the hood area.

How about a 5th gen next to a GTO? It makes the GTO look really small.
