Hell I'd stick those on a car. I assume though that they weigh an abosolute TON though. I mean that is a lot of metal on that wheel.

I figure something like 35 pounds at least. They are wide and they have a big diameter. I wouldn't be surprised if they weighed more either.

Unless they are at least a 1.5k option and they are made of some magical mag/aluminum combo. Those aren't going to be on a base V6 model.
Agreed with the wheels. they are a great change

Minus the grille, I think it looks a little like a mustang, especially from the doors back.

The outside reminds me too much of the newer mustang model with the lil *** spoiler on the back and the front grill and bumper being box shaped. I think chevy needs to come up with a badass exterior too make u go oh **** theres a camaro not like, is that a mustang or camaro???

I hate those gauges, you just know that they are going to get filthy being in that location. Gum and dust and soda....

The seats look way to proto-type though. Neato but I bet they don't go in like that.

I don't like the guages either. Or the location. The odometer goes from 25 to 50 mph? Within our city is 30mph. I think it will be difficult holding it in that range. I'm also not crazy about the radio or how in the world you'd put a real deck in there.

I like how the 2009 model isn't up to date on style. It looks like an "older" person car...Something someone going through a midlife crisis would buy...Sorry i'm young and that car doesn't look "cool"...Just basically a chevy styled after the old days...Just like the mustangs...Meh. Lets get on the ball...design something cutting edge and revolutionary. When i say "lets" i mean domestic car companies.

Definately a badass ride, only peeve I can come up with are the rear view mirrors, Aside from that minor issue I'm sure to have one in my garage (hardtop though)

I'm in for one -
but let's see some engine options - they blew it with the LS6 opportunity. This one needs to have V8 options

I saw most of those pics in the latest issue of Motor Trend. Gorgeous! This new Camaro is going to be a huge success IMO. That is, if Chevy can keep as close to the concept as possible. I really like it. I am, though, partial to the coupe. In Hugger Orange with black stripes!

am i the only person here that wouldn't get caught dead driving a car with that guage cluster/dash? well maybe if it was GIVEN to me... outside looks alright though. i wonder if GM will follow their late trend of newer cars sometimes being cheaper to buy than their replacements?
