Here's the result.

It seems to take on different looks for me. A lot of times when I look at the profile-side view, I think the nose is too pointy. Looking at the nose straight on, it seems flatter. I think the front could have been a touch less pointy. But that would be my only complaint.

Ok, with my old, creaky neck, the blind spot gets bigger every year!

I got mine about 2 months ago and I am in love with it. I will be receiving my mods tomorrow for it, super stoked.

I saw the prototype Camaros at GM Carlisle in 2007. I said at that time the
first day I can order one I will. Had my name at 4 local dealers and in the
Spring of '09 I ordered mine. Still have my SS 10 years later and still getting
looks and compliments to this day. A special car for sure.

My first Camaro was a 1969 SS396 coupe. I was at the private unavailing of the 5th gen in Detroit in January of 2006. As soon as I saw the 5th gen, I know I would have one. It looked so much like my 1969 Camaro. I ordered mine in August of 2009 and got it on 9/21/09. It's 10 years old and I still like it better than any built after 2011. Not a fan of the minor changes.

I agree with all of you. I get positive comments virtually every day, and walk backwards away from her when I park. Haha. Here she is brand new in the showroom on the day I bought her.

I can relate. Had mine from 5/2009-10/26/2019 when it got totalled. I had every part of it exactly as i wanted. Did a search for another one and ended up with a 2013 ss 1le. Didnt take long to mod it how i wanted. When it comes to looks gen 6<gen5.

Agree with all of you and WOW some Bad Ass Camaro's

Obsession is probably an understatement for me, I even have a Calendar with Big Glossy Pictures on the wall at work so I can see it all day long. And I'm an Old Bastard,

I've been a gear head since birth and have had an insane amount of Performance Vehicles, (over 50 through the last 4-1/2 decades). NOTHING compares to the Gen 5's for me and I'm also on my 2nd one. They Look Amazing, have amazing lines, have all the high tech gadgets one could ask for.
And to boot they handle like a Go-Cart, WHAT COULD BE BETTER....

And there is no bad angle
