I've said it when the Hardtop debuted last year and I'm saying it again. The car looks good but...
1. I don't like how the tops of the round tailpipes appear to be chopped off
2. Those console mounted gauges look cool but seem impractical.
3. Good lord this thing looks like a 4000 lbs pig. As much as I like the design (even though I'm anti-retro I have a soft spot for this thing, the Challenger and the S197 Mustang) I'm hoping the Camaro is at least 100-200 lbs lighter than its 3800 lbs pig of a competitor i.e. the new Challenger. Last I checked the GT500 weighed about the same as well. Most of Holden's 4 door Zeta based vehicles check in at the 4000 lbs mark IIRC so this thing probably weighs around 3700-3800 lbs by my estimate. I'm PRAYING GM can get this thing down to 3600 lbs and I'd like it much more if they could do 3500 lbs even though I doubt that's possible.
Pics below because notickets is a lazy ***.

I can't WAIT to get one of these things. But I'll be sticking with the hardtop.

Is this car gonna run with a nuclear fuel cell like a hybrid car??? Reason I ask is look at the button on the steering wheel pic (right corner of steering wheel on the dash), there is a button with the Radiation symbol???

Guage cluster, console and taillights just suck. Maybe the production interior will be more realistic. Maybe there will be a Firebird in a few years that looks better.
