Stringray Concept Actually Inspired the Camaro Design - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

"Despite only being revealed earlier this year, and despite obvious similarities in exterior design between it and the current C6 Corvette as well as the new Chevy Camaro, it's not for the reasons you think. You see, the Stingray was actually first sketched over six years ago, predating both the Camaro and even the C6."

"What that means is Peters took the methodology used designing the Stingray concept and applied it to both the C6 Corvette as well as the new Chevy Camaro. That's why you'll see design elements from the Stingray concept in both. Elements like the raking and the side coveys of the C6 both came straight from the Corvette Stingray concept."

Read it too, just wondering why they called Peters the designer of the Camaro cause he wasn't.

And from what I understood in the past, this article isn't right.
