Ok I hate to pee in everyone cheerios but I just checked with some of my sources and this isn’t the NAIAS concept to be shown in January.

This is a clay concept shown over a year ago to test the market for bringing the Camaro back.

I do think the undercarriage schematics are real though. I knew IRS and true duals were going to be used.

Come on guys, couldn't you make the watermark a little more discreet? I'd rather see teh car unobstructed.

No, two different styling options. That's how they do clay models. One side one way, the side the other way. Then they put a mirror up to show the "full" length treatment.

I noticed that the interior shots had "preliminary" written on them. That's good!!!

Looks like 67-69 gauges. The car as a whole has major similarities also. I dont care for IRS. While I like the 67-69 Camaro alot I would prefer to see something with just subtle similarities to that era. Interior wise I would prefer not to have any similarities at all to the older cars.

Quit crying, at least you get to see something. If this stuff does turn out legit, we want all the other sites that will probably copy the images from us to give us credit for posting them first.

I really recommend the mod deletes this thread; these pics have already been taken off other sites more than once.

I’ll say again though, this is not the NASIS concept. Its another that GM did a while back.

As far as I know the NASIS concept is a running car, not clay.

Ok I’m out

I doubt it's legitmacy, but I'll comment as if it is for now.

Good Stuff - One of GM's most important nameplates will likely be resurrected, the Camaro FINALLY comes into modern times with IRS, the interior styling looks good.

Bad Stuff - As it is it's easily the worst looking pony car behind the Mustang and WAY behind the new Dodge Challenger. In fact the Challenger looks like a much sexier car and there's a good chance it will offer over 400hp standard like the GTO.

I will be financing one as soon as I get out of school. That car is pretty damn sweet, and I have my track car....this one was gonna be 6 speed anyway, so an IRS would be pretty cool.

If price is under $35k and horsepower is above 350 crank, and weight is around 3500 or less....this will be a winner for sure!

I know this is a cop out answer, but I’m not going to say.

If you don’t believe me that fine, just wait till January.

I haven’t seen the final product though but I know this isn’t it.

Dig the TD's, on the fence about the IRS (I hope its just an option, to keep the base car price down) . Don't like the interior gauges.

Furthermore……

How will you get in trouble?

You hear about what happened to the guy that posted up the C6 pics before they were officially released?

Yeah….not pretty.

However, I do believe we are seeing something very close.

I’ve seen that greenhouse so many times; I’m willing to bet that’s how it will look.

I know the rear is going to have 4 circular taillights like that. (I’m not 100% sure there, but what I’ve heard)

The Front end, I have no clue, but I don’t think the NAIAS concept will be just like that.

But once again those undercarriage schematics look real from everything I know.
