Default New Camaro Spotted Last Week in San Diego!

Sorry this is a week late, but last Saturday I was down in San Diego near the airport, and happened to spot one of the new Camaros! those of you who know me, know that I never tend to have my camera when I should (i.e. cruises, meets, bah mitzvas, ect...). Since my parents were in town and someone else was driving, I promptly harassed this guy like a Paperazzi... classic. I think he was even a little annoyed that I was taking pictures. I caught the badging that it was an RS. Meant to take a picture of the rear end, but ended up with a picture of the front end of some minivan.... lol. I think it had normal plates. Anyway, here are the pictures...

might be, but I don't think so. Looked to have out of state plates on it, not Cali or dealer plates. Car was kind of dirty like it had been driven quite a while.

might be that I ran out of a car with a camera and chased him down the street. I was literally running after him. lol. I was going to take more pictures because it looked like he was going to get caught at a light. Ran another block or so but no dice. lol.

from what ive seen, the best way to determine an SS is the little slit, maybe an air intake, just below the front of the hood. Kinda like the C6 z06 but not as drastic. I still havent seen one of these in person but it looks pretty good from certain angles, mainly the front 1/4 shots.
