Great job. again just a few things. The RAM air doesn’t correspond from the top view to the side view. Could you get the front fender a bit wider like the rear. Just a tad. The indicator in the grill Reminds me to Mustang.
The top view looks already awesome. Now we have to come the the back. A diffusor is required.

about the cowl I like cowls but the one I had first didnt mix with the rest of the line, besides I would like other features like a cowl to be on the more aggressive trim (SS car)

The side, top and rear views look very good already , and you're still working on the front, so I won't comment on that.
I still think the front segment of the vehicle is too squished, which is evident from the slightly awkward placement of the front side markers. This leaves very little room for a big engine (or are you considering different frame sizes for performance trims? don't think that would be feasible financially). Also, how would your design provide increased interior space and rear seat headroom for this daily driver trim? Would they be coming from the hatch? I'm asking because the higher roofline seems to curve down quite a bit in the rear.

the seat distribution change, both front and rear seats are further back on the car, what Im doing this o help as much as visibility and head room other than rise the headline by about 4 inches is to actually make the seats thinner, the seats on the 5, 6 gen ar BIG and thick AS **** 3th 4th gen and corvette seats are a bit thinner that make people seat 1 or 2 inches lower finally by introducing the corvette type trunk the rear glass makes room for people on the rear.

Also, I have the opposite problem than the OP - I shrunk sometime before my 62nd birthday, and now I'm about 5'1" AND I was in a coma last year for over 6 weeks. I lost about 50 lbs - about 30 of that was from my butt. The seat doesn't go high enough, and it works on an arc, so the higher it's adjusted, it moves forward. I've been playing with different cushions - Egg Sitter(s), foam wedge, inflatables - because I have a hard time seeing over the hood. I wonder if anyone has a fix for this. Maybe it'll be topic of my very first thread.

BUT, Infinitis had very shallow trunk because of mini-spare on top of gas tank. If I had a full bag of groceries and stood it up, the trunk lid would crush it. On a side note, they had lower window sills, seats adjusted higher, AND sunroof opened inside the roof!

The next gen there should be no rear seats, so it being shorter and lighter weight should be obvious. Engine wise, a turbo 4 cyl option, a base v8 option (~400HP), both of those things should keep the price at a good point for most. Then a really badass SS V8 (550+HP, same suspension as current SS 1LE), and of course, ZL1 (750+HP), pricing will be higher but they will be at another level of performance too. Styling wise you want mean with a sporty/muscle look, but not too futuristic, it often softens it up too much, and the Camaro just needs to look mean.

there's only one design that will save the camaro, turn it into an SUV. Anything that doesn't turn the camaro into an SUV will just result in more of the same. Making it a longer/larger coupe or turning it into a sedan is too little too late at this point.
You could also save it by getting rid of the corvette ...the corvette has been irrelevant for what, at least a decade. Nobody talks about it, nobody cares about it. It doesn't seem to impress any car enthusiast publication ....unlike at least the little bit of love that the camaro gets. |

https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...&iact=c&ictx=1 Showing my age again OTOH, might not fit Roots type, but Paxton/Procharger might. I hope there's room in your shortened car for one of those. Or twin turbo - doesn't Cadillac use TT V8 in CTS-V or ATS-V? Easier to get built if parts are shared...
