That car is the best pony of the bunch..!

The camaro kicks the Ford Shelby and the Challengers butt!

All great cars but the Camaro is the best!

I have to buy one!

Sound's like it will have the LS2 from the vid.... "It will have a 6 liter pushrod V8 putting over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels" and then it goes on to say that that is through the t56... Let's just hope that R&T has their facts straight.

looks great. hopefully by 08 they smooth out some of the odds n ends liek the mirrors and whatnot. but overall i love the design style. makes you wonder how many GM brass people read this site becasue they are now openly realeasing all of this stuff to us instead of trying to hide it.

It looks like one of those mixed up Caddy concepts. Too many things going on with that body. It should have smooth clean lines, but instead it is too busy. That is what I liked about the 4th gen Z28, it had very clean lines. I personally think the Challenger and even the new Stang GT look better. But, if it is light enough with enough power, it will start looking better.

It's not doing much for me. Maybe it will grow on me, but I like the Challenger better.

Check out the video and you can see the rear and the interior.

Not really as impressed with it as I would like. The tailpanel gets a thumb down from me though. I was hoping for a solid taillamp for each side instead of separate lights.

I never thought I'd say this but, I'm not impressed with the next camaro. GM have let me down for the last time.

Looks like my next car is gonna be a Mopar.

Come on. Honestly, does the new challenger not look 10x more bad-*** You know it does.

GM's about to get it's @ss kicked in the upcoming pony-wars

hmmm, looks pretty damn close to the clay model photos we posted a month ago. I'm glad it kept that look, I'll buy one (maybe two) as soon as it is available

I love the way the Challenger looks but considering its size and weight its gonna need that 425 horse Hemi. I'm with tony, I'll take 2.

Going by looks alone, that Camaro looks no lighter than the Challenger.
