This concept is intended to be more of an evolution than a revolution. It borrows styling cues from previous years including the 5th gen so it will have a familiarity to it but yet be a new style. There's quite a bit that's different on it actually.

Umm....no. The ONLY thing I took from the 2014 was that small center area in the bottom of the upper grill because that area was fairly well received; especially on the Z/28. Other than that that there's nothing else in this design that looks like the 2014.

The back of the car (which is still a work in progress) looks NOTHING like the 2014 model.

Neither does the side view other than that one small area in the upper grill.

2014 Camaro
WHEEL BASE 9 ft. 4.3 in. (112.3 in.)
LENGTH 15 ft. 10.6 in. (190.6 in.)
HEIGHT 4 ft. 6.2 in. (54.2 in.)

FRONT TRACK 5 ft. 3.7 in. (63.7 in.)
REAR TRACK 5 ft. 4.1 in. (64.1 in.)
Oh man I WISH I'd had those dimensions before starting... I would have made this be exact!!! Interestingly though I was surprised at how close I actually am. Here are the dimensions of my concept:

Wheel Base 116.9 in.
(ATS 109.3 in.)

Front Track 66 in.
(ATS 59.5 in.)

Rear Track 66 in.
(ATS 60.9 in.)

Length 180 in.
(ATS 182.8 in.)

Width 80 in.
(ATS 71.1 in.)

Height 52 in.
(ATS 55.9 in.)

I'll have to take a close look at what it would take to change the dimensions on my model but since they're mostly real close it shouldn't change the look much other than the width. All I would have to actually change is the track, wheel base and body width. The height and length I can keep. Thanks for posting that Pete!
