Love it.

The new Camaros have grown on me bigtime. I would have one in a second, just not at the expense of my 5th gen.

I am in full agreement on the Z car. I will be trading my SS up to that ride once finances have settled. (Just bought a very expensive house.)

I like everything about the car except for that front grill. No offense meant, just personal preference. Other than that, I think it's a beautiful car.

For thoes of you wondering ..if you want a 20 front end on a 19 ..it's easy ..you don't have to change the whole front bumper cover ..just the middle part can be swapped out .. it just clips in ..I found this out when I took my bumper cover off to luminate my flow tie.

Shock is a love or hate color, I can appreciate it even if it isn't my first choice, but the '19 SS front end I will pass.

Would rather have a newer zl1 not the Cleft pallet SS there's a reason they changed it.....and yes building one its all about being on a dyno to tune BTW for those who want too.....

I wish that I had $1 for each former 5th generation owner that made the same statement when the 6th generation was introduced and is driving one now.

In the style dept they are no 5th gen for sure however I think they are a pretty good looking car, my biggest beef isn’t the front end it’s actually the rear. I don’t care for the tail lights or tail light panel or the factory rear spoiler. The more I’m around the 6th gens the more they do really grow on me, not to the point that I’m going to bail on my 5th but they still are an amazing performance car for the cash. Far better overall performance than the mopar and ford offerings in my book. It’s a shame they are struggling to sell the way they are.

I've noticed the 6th prices are dropping fast . In a few years our 5th's especially the 13 14 and 15s will be worth more than a 6th with similar mileage and options

Not a fan of them, i think their lines are too thin and narrow. Looks more of a sedan with the lines. I am a fan of the old 70s and 80s muscle cars, the ones with big cowl hoods that stood out and screamed at you. The vent on the SS is just like the corvettes and look like garbage. the zl1s are nice and engine is great. but not enough to take my money and trade in my car.
