A couple more shots. Did some work on the bottom of the front, and added a hood line.

Sorry, ugly. Especially from the front. Looks like someone dropped something heavy on it. JMO.( Past owner of 75 RS, 79 Z28 and son owns 17 RS). I think it should based on the 2nd Gen.

I know that you and most of the enthusiast/fanboys like the thick, bulked up look which I personally don't, but that's the way it is. This car is not intended for you or the enthusiasts, it's intended to be for the other 98% of the marketplace that isn't buying the Camaro that you guys like.

I opened up the cabin and lowered the front for improved visibility which the 98% prefer. I focused on something more sleek and conservative as a pony car, rather than a thick, bulky monster track car. Is this something that a parent would consider buying for their high school teen? Or maybe a college student? This car wouldn't even have a V8 as an option; it has a 6 or a 4 in it. Think affordability.

It really isn't meant to be the new Camaro for the high performance enthusiast crowd, it's meant for the entry-level, blue-collar worker, everybody else crowd. It's meant to be stylish, but at the same time affordable; both for vehicle cost and insurance. Think of it in those terms.

i like it,but then again im a blue collar worker driving a 5th gen RS.so i guess that means you have hit the demographic you were after.

Well there you go. If Chevy can produce a pony car that appeals to that 98%, that's a LOT of potential sales. That kind of revenue can provide the budget to keep developing the high performance track cars that the 2% like and buy. It would be a win/win situation.

Revision 3. While working on "softening up" a lot of the lines, I wound up revising the front to give it a more aggressive look. It's still somewhat conservative because it's aimed at the 98% who are not forum enthusiasts. It's intended to loosely evoke the idea of a modern version of the 1970 Camaro.

I'm still working on what I want to do with the back of the car. Haven't come up with anything I really like yet.

I think it is a good start.

BTW do you still have the Blue Angel? One of my favorite 5th gens. It is still very cool.

keep the Chevron in the grill!! :)

But man that gold center Chevron is ugly on all Camaros. The color should chabge with the interior lighting color.

Thank you, and yes I do. Unfortunately I now live in a state where there aren't any road course tracks so I hardly ever drive it anymore. I think I put a total of 200 miles on it last year. I've thought about selling it, but I put so much into it that it would be hard to let it go.

Here are a couple of pics of what I've been thinking of for the back of the car; again, it's meant to be more conservative than what the track car fan enthusiasts in here would want. I agree about the gold bowtie logo; to me it looks cheap. I always liked the old blue logo myself, so I made the change on this model.
