Do not put it behind the glass if it adds one once of weight. This car is going to weigh plenty without it.

people worried about a B-pillar?, up until a year ago we had no upcoming camaro, so as long as it's under 3600lbs with a v8 and a six speed and looks like the concept does, that pillar makes no difference to me.

That's a good point, thanks ! I was a little scared but hopefully it will be done tastefully as I feel it was in the Monaro (the car was never really a GTO, lol. I can say that, I own one )...

If they keep it under 3600 with a V8 and a M6 (for a decent price they can give it D pillars for all I care!!!

Yup. I hate the B-Pillar on my Monaro. I in general love cars that are of the hardtop variety.

I'd love to roll down my side windows.

On my past f-bodies and my '06 Stang I love the pillarless doors, even if they have b/c pillars.

In general I'm one for pillarless doors too.
