Who wouldn't want to drive this car?????? I love the front grill and how he added the ram air hood and fixed the side mirrors.

Saving up my pennies as we speak. Also time to max out the GM card and earn some money! I wonder how much they will allow us to use? $1500 or $2500?

Nothing official.. we just wanted to see how it would look. Hopefully they will see these pics and go "hmmm.. that's a good idea"

Wow, I'm so excited to see the production model. That LS7 SS looks simply AMAZING!
I hope this new Camaro is the first brand new car I ever buy Hopefully they won't pull a GTO and make it even better after a year

Nice renderings. Minor tweaks, but they make a significant difference, and wouldn't cost much to do as a different trim package.

The Corvette is always supposed to be the top dog in the Chevy/GM lineup as far as sports cars go.

The drawings are awesome. Hopefully they can translate that into metal.
So far it plans to be my first new car purchase. If 09 is still the projection release it should be out just at the time a graduate college.

GM has a new commercial out. It's about "Then and now", shows older clips of cars from the 50's and 60's along with the new offerings. Look closely after it shows the 70 (or thereabouts) GTO and you'll see coming and going moving shots of the 09 Camaro. I about fell off the couch when I saw it. It's only 2-3 secs so I wasn't sure untill I saw the commercial again and confirmed it. THERE IS A GOD! I can't wait untill this becomes a reality.

Lutz said "priced to compete with the Mustang"..

So that's good news
