Not real sure about it. I was excited a year ago when I heard they were doing this........ It is going to be awesome when someone pulls the motor and strokes it.....that is the up side the 6.0, But I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO BUY 22" DRAG RADIALS OR SLICKS!!! Do they even make them that big???

Thanks for sharing! That's the first vid I've seen of the new Camaro.


However, that didn't really change my mind on the styling. I've never really liked it from the time I first saw pictures of it. I heard the announcer say that "It seemed like a lot of people liked it more once they saw it in person, compared to just seeing pictures."


I think I've seen about all I need to see unless they make some major changes. I guess I'm the only one in the country who isn't into this "retro" styling that all of the manufacturers think is nessessary right now.

Nice vid Looks like its going to be a heavy car I like the wheels and all but I think someone putting a drag wheel/tire setup on it will be disappointed in the 4x4 look of that huge wheel well

i didnt care much for it when the spy shots were released nor when the concept first was debuted. but im liking it more and more everytime i see a video of it. its also got an IRS so tahts a MAJOR plus and i wont buy one unless thats kept. IMO there is no reason solid axel is better except in price but thats going to change as more cars get IRS.

and BTW, the production version wont have 21s or 22s. im betting for 18s or 19s at the extreme most.

i believe drag radials stop at 18inches and you might not need them im sure a 22inch wheel would hook up just as good.

I seriously doubt they will produce it with 22's. It's a concept car not a production car. I see 17's and 18's going on it.

I like it a lot...looks mean.

Jay Leno definately knows his stuff, I like how he tried to not lose the reporter when he was talking. The car looks sick, lets just hope they don't pose too much of a problem for me.
