Jesus ******* christ I've never seen so many people bitch about a poorly taken picture. Yes, the Camaro is a bit taller over-all than the concept. I don't think it will effect the handling THAT badly. And if it does, so what? We have an aftermarket for a reason. Hi there, suspension modifications. Quit bitching.

I just like how the corvette keeps changing its model to something new. I'm glad they never did like the camaro mustang challeneger etc. and went back 50 years on the design. If they ever do a retro vette I'll be sick. I do think the camaro needs to go on slimfast on the body styling.

its gotta be that that guy is small. theres no way the quarter panels could come up above your bellybutton if your were at least 5'10 or so...unless that car sits really high??is that the v6 model?cause usually the higher performance cars sit much lower than the base types.

But you can't possibly expect manufacturers (especially such widespread manufacturers) to make products that require ZERO modification to satisfy enthusiasts. Hell, half the people that get new Z06s did AT LEAST exhaust mods, and tons of them are doing more. There are already several turbo Challenger SRT-8s. It's just the way of the game.

Is it SOP suprisingly faster... NO. Will it beat joe shmos stock ls1.... yes
the rear rotors are off the front end of an enzo. My daily's got wheels significantly smaller than those rotors.

For everyone saying this car looks like a boat how many have ever seen it in person?
It looks much smaller in person, it only came up to mid chest on me even when raised on a platform at select car shows. (im 6'0), and how can you question that it will handle? When has chevy ever made a sports car that COULDNT handle? Cobalt SS is rated one of the best handling cars , and its FWD for god sakes. ZR1 did a 7'20 run around the 'ring. 4th gens handle amazing stock and even better with very little aftermarket. This new 5th gen has IRS, ever tried to drive a 03 cobra? Tell me it can't corner.

Lets try not to get off topic now. Lets just be happy that GM isnt killing the camaro like it was rumored to be a couple months ago. Enjoy the pics. My bro in law said that he saw a red ZR1 cruising I 75 near Detroit today, or maybe it was Woodward again. Anyways he said that it is eye grabbing, just like when you see a lambo or ferrari, so that is a good thing. Sounds to be different from the Z06 and C6. Camaro....well that was just the V6. I have a feeling that the Z28 or SS what ever it is will look different and sit different. I saw 4 Challengers at a Dodge lot the other day, and the one that had the smaller of the V8 and different appearance package, was alot bigger looking and not as nice looking as the SRT8 or what the hell its called. And by the way.....The Camaro is smaller than the Challanger even the one I have in the pics above.....THose Challangers look like pigs, like the new stangs. OK put my $.02 in. Ill try to get some more spy pics from up there.

here's my question:
why do they put their flagship, all-star, bad-to-the-bone 'Vette.....next to....their base-model, small-engine, "boring" Camaro?
i mean, why not put the 2 badest-*** cars they make together, instead of, for lack of better simile, putting "The Hulk" with "Tinkerbell"? where's the SS?
