yes, and Mark mentioned the tease there at the end, looked wider, lower, and more aggressive.

Both, plus the vert.

Lots of videos are going up on the Chevy Youtube page. A few interesting videos for things they didn't discuss in detail during the event:

Electronic Shifter:

Nose Lift:

PDR Version 2:

Alright, how soon do we get the 495 horsepower SS Camaro?

This is going to be a pretty big deal.

No reason the LT2 cant find a nice home under the hood of 2021-23 Camaros

Configurator is up but seems to be having a lot of issues right now:

There are a *ton* of options to choose from for exterior appearance. Here's the Ground Effects and High Wing package.

Not as expensive as I thought, I knew it was going to be a mild upgrade LT1, intake manifold and headers, probably TB, small cam change. I like it a lot, for sure I’d do this over the Supra.

A manual? Lol People once drove covered wagons too.

I have an m6, I knew it would be it. U think you are shifting yourself with a sub 3 o to 60?

Here is the good news, the 6th gen Camaro is a badass car in several trim levels. I honestly expect it can even surpass it current performance levels with some structural and drive train strengthening as well as the LT5. Chevy has pretty much stated that the front engine car has achieved it's limits. That may be so with the Corvette but there is still a market for a Camaro.
In my honest opinion they have proven themselves very capable of even greater design than thought. If they can improve the Corvette this much then they can surely build a gen 7 Camaro,
The C8 is going to make many Chevy sales people very very happy.
