Yes, I think you're right! It is growing on me too! Although, the new Challenger is also.

That Yellow one in the picture at the auto show (Chicago I believe) didn't even have a real windshield.

If it comes with a 550hp LSA, I could give two ***** what it looks like. How cheap would it be to add another 80rwhp to that thing??? My guess would be a set of long tubes, borla, a baby cam and a tune should do it. Can you get a shorter belt for the LSA and LS9 like you can from an 03/04 cobra? If so, you might be able to grab 50rwhp for $500....

I do like the hood, though.

No its not a Z28, just a 6.0l GTO with the 5th gen body on it....same car from the first film just they changed the front bumper/hood and wheels on it.

I think the OP was asking if it is supposed to look like the Z28. And yes from looking at the renderings from R&T, it looks like the Z28. My guess is GM is trying to do market research to test reactions to a new Z28, much like they did with the concept Camaro in the first Transfomers movie.

BUT... Let's remember that is how the current PRODUCTION Camaro started out.

We can all hope right?

I like it but it needs some RS kit halos!
