Yep...certainly is. Likely similar to the optional Vette rockers. It was pointed out in a few mag articles. As I just said above...I want them!! lol

Wonder if it will have an aero package option like the Z06 has? Could be they are testing both.

Weren't there spy shots early on with a front splitter attached?i would say it's a sure bet the front fenders are different, especially since the Gt350. The rear quarters are questionable but my fingers are crossed. I would assume so since there is so much rear camo on that car. This must be weather testing right? Can't really test to much else with the camo killing the aero on the car.

Hard to say if the wheels are the versions from the ATS-V/CTS-V or just pulled straight from the 5th gen ZL1/1LE...they are very similar, except the Cadillac wheels are 19s" and have a bit less concave offset than the Camaro wheels. Too hard to tell from these far away shots.

Also, one, if not both of these certainly could be wide body in my opinion. An inch or two added in fender flair on either side would be too difficult to spot under the camo in these shots.

If they use the hood extractor from the CTS-V (or similar) it will look killer. Someone already photoshopped a 6th gen with it on this forum and the look was very cool.

All I know is, is that I hope some of these bits (like the rockers) can be swapped onto a regular SS model. I do want!

I have photoshops of the sixth gen with a heat extractor hood... And the splitters and all, from the spy shots... I have to final touch it and then send it in... So they'll be circulating soon...

Wonder if GM will do what they did with the 5th Gen Z28 and list them as restricted parts?

Two different cars, UNLESS.... The spoiler tilts for down pressure!!!

what im thinking, a bigger wing, a bumper vent and a hood vent who goes down

This is an excellent development!

Clearly_Canadian · 08-04-2015, 11:35 AM

I think it would be really cool to have vacuum activated vents. like old school air grabbers!!

This ^

Im thinking a LT1 to LT6 ( ala LS1 to LS6) type for a N/A Z/28. I just cant see GM giving the Camaro a unique engine based on their past history

IneedAZ · 08-04-2015, 12:03 PM

Realy thing they should give me one to try. Get the end users perspective
