So is the hefty weight at 3800lbs including basic options or the stripped version without A/C and a stereo? Can't say I'm a fan of the Camaro but nice to see them put the LS7 in something other than a Vette. Just hopefully they got the heads fixed.

I am with you 100% on that. I lover everything about this car. The front lip is slightly overdone but still looks acceptable. I am overall all over this new style! especially compared to the other 2010+ yrs

Front splitter is functional and wind tunnel designed. Not really fair to call something "overdone" if it actually works. This Camaro is similar to the ACR Viper, in that regard.

The only thing GM got right is the LS7. This stripped down car calling it a Z28 is BS. Who in this day of age wants a car with no speakers, no AC, or spare tire in a MODERN car???? If someone wants a track only car, they will have one built.

They should have found a better way to trim and lighten it up. The LS7 should be an engine option for the SS. I willing to be a little slower and have the amenities

This is a track car, most of them won't be bought to drive on the street.

GTRACER88 you are blind if you think it looks like a Honda or Acura! lol

I'm not from Texas, but I think it looks great in the pics. It would be nice to see one in person. Unfortunately, I can't see myself ever being able to afford one. Thank God my '94 is almost as bad ***, and it comes with a sagging headliner.
