T-tops would look so gay on this car. The 5th gen is essentially a modern interpretation of a 1st gen Camaro...the 1st gen's never had t-tops, and if they did, they would look gay...just like your Weiand intake.

Overall I like it a lot. It will look much better with a rear spoiler. The taillights look good, but I'd rather they were two rectangular ones instead. In another color and in Z28 or SS trim it's gonna look bad ***! Especially with a nice set of wheels.

The interior is a little too retro for me, but it won't stop me from buying it. The only thing I hope is that with those gauges being as hard to read as they are, and being in two different locations, I hope there is a HUD option. Oh and at least an LS3 available.

That may actually be an option worth buying...

Gotta agree with T-Tops being wrong on the 5th Gen, I LOVE my T-Tops, but that platform doesn't support it. I am certain that the sunroof will be a fairly expensive option and most models won't have it. I for one will not let that On-Star ant. stop me from buying one... I do agree with wanting the reverse lights moved.
But whatever.
I will own one.
Black this time. With Stripes and a wing. I cannot wait.. Time to sell my car I think.

Looks good, I just hope they change those ugly *** gauges but I have a feeling they wont.

Here are a few. I made the wheels a little bigger too. A subtle change but makes a huge difference IMO.

I'd like to see the grill a bit more aggressive, though I do like the rear changes.

I'd like to see what a Camaro with a removable hardtop would be like

Wha?! You'd have to put machine guns on the 5th gen's grille to make it look more aggressive!

yall talk how gay t tops would look on the car i think sunroof looks queerish too! its a freakin window on top of a roof of a modern muscle car. that just doesnt go together IMO. id take a hardtop thank you. i just hope the performance of "Camaro" lives up to its name above all.

I don't mind a sunroof. I understand people who don't think a sunroof belongs on a muscle car, but ultimately its the buyers choice.

Personally I thought sunroofs were a bit over the top, and a waste of $800 that could have been spent on sometime else. It wasn't until I owned a car with a sunroof that I really appreciated them.

Should I buy a brand new Camaro, I probably won't opt for the sunroof. Not because I don't want one, but because I'm a college student, and a $25,000+ car is enough. Is $800 a lot for another window? Yes, but not everyone is a poor college student

Though I wouldn't mind a sunroof on an used Camaro

Just noticed the fuel filler isn't on the right side?

My mom has an Equinox, and whenever I go to fill it, I park it, go to get gas, and the thing is on the other side... pain in the ***.

Seriously, the fuel filler being on the left side would only be useful if you ran out of fuel on a busy highway...

Fuel fill on 4th Gens is on the left side.

On the concept cars it's on the left on the top of the quarter.
it'll probably stay on the left.

I don't know how that is determined.....
