I'm liking the dual hood vents, but I really wished they fixed the visibility a bit.

Figured you guys were talking about "ThePill".. I hang out on the Mustang forum but won't pull the trigger until I see the Camaro as well. I think the Mustang is pretty solid, but expect GM to come out swinging.

That dude though.. I've never seen so much bashing of another brand in my life and so much praise/optimism towards another.

The huge windshield, heavily taped to appear smaller, should make visibility significantly better to the front. That is clear in the photos.

IMO the belt line on the doors may be faked to look smaller as well.

Number3, so...when should we expect that they take the covers off and have just the vinyl camo?

I'm almost convinced that this is just a gen 5 they taped up and covered to keep us focused, with all the Mustang and Challenger talk, they had to do something.

If you take off the fake front clip, the fake decklid and the padding on the front fenders and doors, this is not a 5th gen in disguise. This is a VERY small car. There are "prosthetics" under the vinyl and foam and plastic to give you the very impression you are getting. You are seeing EXACTLY what they want you to see.

I posted some notes on the pictures in The House. This is clearly a very good disguise.

They won't take the camo off until after the car is officially revealed. That may be an auto show or in the case of the Gen 5 a movie introduction. That led to this..........

I hope it looks like a cross between a Ferrari F12 and a Jaguar F type.

I'm pretty sure the belt line appears higher than it is. In some photos you can see the white tape on the window not facing the camera.

right, but usually we see cars with the black and white swirly camo, with the real body no? I'm asking when will this happen (take off the fake parts and the black covers), so we can actually start to comment on what it will look like.

Is it just me or does it look like it has these similar proportions?

Just my 2 cents as i've read through this post. I don't own a camaro(yet) but man i think the '14 ones are perfectly sized, i can't see making it any smaller other than maybe removing an inch or two off the ass end. But i'm definitely down for weight reduction regardless of car hehe. I just hope lots of the features of like the '14 isn't removed even though it adds weight. Cant' wait to see actual pictures and numbers before i decide if i want to go with a '14 or wait it out for one of these!

I think it is going to look like the bumblebee transformers 4 camaro concept movie car.
You can tell from the hood there are a couple of hood vents. I looking forward to the front and back styling.But,i read most of this only on car and driver.

I don't think so, but I like the sides and rear of it, not so much the front end.
