Thumbs up 2009 Camaro Images

We received these images anonymously via email, but we suspect they are the closest thing to the actual 2009 Camaro that will be produced. No info or specs were sent, just a note saying "look at this". Also note the independent rear suspension setup. Could these be the real thing? We hope so!

EDITED

Images were removed by request of GM. Please build this car GM!

If you missed it, you are too late. Don't email me asking for them either.

The images aren't marked by anyone, they could just be from someone's backyard, right? Or, maybe the leak was done on purpose to help hype the car up? I'd vote for the latter.

If someone from GM knows these are legit, they can ask me to remove them and I'll gladly do so. tony@ls1tech.com

I would think the front bumper mismatch is showing the difference between a base and a z28 bumper, or something of the sort. Regardless, I have to go clean my pants now, that's just gorgeous!

There is nothing wrong with a properly set up IRS. There are a ton of very fast Vipers and Supras that still have the IRS.

Yep I bet you that is it. I was talking to some guys that work at GM and they said they were painting the new camaro silver for teh auto show. ALso they said it had a flat nose and look very much like the new challenger. I'd say that is exactly what you'll see at the Detroit Auto Show. Looks great IMO.

Sounds like this is the same set of pictures that Hemmings Muscle Machines got. It looks better than I thought, but we'll have to see the final version. I'm not crazy about the dash and gauges!!
