Default Pictures of the 2009 Camaro @ the Indianapolis Auto Show

Drove down today to see the car in person. The pictures I took suck and do not do the car justice, but I was sure you guys wanted to see them anyways.













Enjoy,
James

The car looks 100 times better in person. If you get a chance to see it, DO IT! It was worth the 2 hour drive for me.

Edit: One other thing, the car is very wide in its concept stage. It looks like it would be a road hog if they leave it as is. (Then again I could be an idiot and it just looks wide due to the angles and the lines of the car.)

Well, actually the interior was like foam boxes with head rest sitting on them for the seats, and the gauges had no faces in them. So I am assuming GM is still working on the interior details.

The Red one is just a roller. The Silver one is fully functional car.

It's really cool to see the Indy show get that car. I'll be there on Saturday to see the Red one in person (saw the Silver one in Detroit).

Im really interested to see what ends up happening with the interior. I really think it might make or break the car for many of the buyers. The pics i saw looked like the interior is nicer looking quality wise. But its a little bit too flashy for my likes.

I saw the Red one here in Miami back in October. The car looks much nicer in person. One thing I was surprised about is that the car looks smaller in person, much smaller in fact. I don't know what the specs are compared to the 4th gen fbody, but I'll guess it's almost a foot shorter in overall length with a longer wheelbase.

Yeah, the pictures do not really do this car justice at all. The car does look smaller from front to back, but wider from side to side to me. The outside of the car looks very awesome in person. Only thing I hope they do is make the side mirrors a bit larger.

I bet it looses .2 due to the brick front end. Its got the aerodynamics of a lowered truck. lol

Other than that its nice, how much will it weigh?

The Indy auto show sucked bad. The only thing their I wanted to see was the new Camaro. Other than that it was like going to a dealership. Nothing like a real auto show like Detroit.

yeah, from what i recall, the red one came out first and it didnt have any interior or drivetrain and then the silver one came out and is fully functional.
