Can someone photoshop scale and angle the same as other photo? I think they look the same, white does not show as many details.

I wonder what they did with the fuel filler cap. That was one of the things I liked on the concept that I hoped would make it. Probably some federal rule says you can't have it where it was.

I like the concept's rear marker lights better. plus the white just isn't giving the body lines justice.

and put back the concepts side mirrors back on!

Glad the fuel filler will be on the starboard side.

The gaps look rather substantial on the white car.

It sits too high. It also look fatter and not as low, long, and wide as the prototype...but then again it may just be the angle. The mini dick and sunroof look bad.

Hopefully in another color with a spoiler it will look cooler (funny thing is I always hate Mustangs with spoilers).

sunroof=option

I don't think t tops are going to be around anymore, doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather a hard top or a vert.

65% complete people, not the finished product. Still a prototype!

Many things will change yet.

holy crap, you guys bitch more than a bunch of school girls putting on makeup in the bathroom.

t-tops SUCK, with a capital S. they never seal right in one way or another, the whole trunk is taken up when they are off, you look at one wrong and the latch breaks. I'll take a moonroof over ts any day, and a hard top over both.

PLEASE. Use your connections to make the On-star mini dick disappear. Or at least make On-star optional, many of us have NO use and NO interest in that silly crap. I removed it from my '02 MC SS as soon as I bought the car.

Someone needs to get the message to GM. On-star + Camaro = I could learn to live with it, if it wasn't for the awful fin.

As far as the sunroof, I'm sure that'll be optional, personally I want a hardtop car.

OnStar will be standard equipment, as it is on almost every GM product.

However, go look at any C6 Corvette (which also has OnStar as standard equipment), and try to find the OnStar antenna.

See my point?

So they plan to hide it then?

Seems like I've seen C6s with some kind of similar thing attached to the back of the roof, or maybe it was on the trunk of a C6 'vert. If that's not for On-star, was it for XM or something?

I hope they hide the damn thing like you suggest. I know it seems silly to get upset about such a small thing, but it's seriously a big issue to me. I hate silly crap stuck on my cars like that.

The Onstar antenna on the C6 Vette is inside the car behind the passenger sun visor I believe.

I know it is a prototype...that is why I am bitching as loud as I can. If we complain while the camaro is still have a prototype they can change things. If we bitch at a production model it will take forever to get something changed. One way or another I will have this or a Challenger...so I want a product as good as possible.

Agreed, concept cars do not have to conform to federal regulations like production cars do. Of course the mirrors and side markers will be as large as the government mandates. There's nothing GM can do about that.

GM has been trumping Chrysler recently in their ability to bring concepts to the showroom virtually unchanged. Look at the Solstice, Sky, and Enclave. The Camaro will look just as good when it's finished and ready for sale.

Ditch the onstar thing and it's fine. I'm glad to see a sunroof rather then the damn t tops, I hate those things. I guarintee the sunroof will be an option, after 2001 the t tops weren't, you really didn't have a choice (at least with transam's anyway)

I commend them for not doing t tops, because the body will be alot stronger, not it's not designed with a removable piece above the doors, and isn't designed to work with or without that piece in the picture.

T-tops would look so retardedly gay on that car. I like it a lot. The antenna doesn't really bother me THAT much. Damn, you guys bitch about everything!! Holy ****!!

They're not gonna do T-tops because it would screw up the side profile.

That dorsal fin antenna definitely requires a hole, so hopefully they'll change that.

Reverse lights should be moved to the license plate area like the C5...

It'll look better when they get a ducktail and some badges on it.
