Overreaction Prediction Thread

In honor of all the silly overreactions we've had upon the unveiling of all things Gen5 Camaro such as the SS front fascia drama, the ABL saga, etc, what do you predict will be number one overreaction gripe upon the unveiling of the "Z/28"?

Will it be "I can't believe they put that spoiler on!?!" or "The first thing I'll do is swap out the hood!" or an uproar in regards to a totally different nameplate?

The intent is not to make this thread a negative bashfest and to take away from hopefully a great day for Camaro enthusiasts tomorrow. I just thought it may be entertaining to poke a little fun at the inevitable overreactions, especially in hindsight when so many of these past complaints turned out to be quite ridiculous.

"The Z/28 should be a stripped down racer..."
"The hood is hideous"
"It's too expensive to be a Camaro"
"I don't want MAG Ride"

The hood in the pic above is hideous. No denying that.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE Z28 IS GOING TO HAVE 5XX HORSEPOWER! WHAT - IT WEIGHS ALMOST 4000 POUNDS?! Z28 IS SUPPOSED TO BE A STRIPPED CAR. THAT HOOD LOOKS LIKE RICE. THOSE WHEELS ARE TOO BIG. THAT IRS IS TOO WEAK."

I can go on-and-on with what's going to be complained about. I think the number one complaint will be whatever is released, that it won't remain true to the original. I'm still assuming it's Z28, so that's what I keep going back to.

Overreaction is that it's not going to be the "Z28"...........

I wrote it before, I don't buy upon a nameplate, I buy upon "WOW FACTOR" and I'm pretty sure GM is bringing the "WOW FACTOR" tomorrow with the UNVEIL.........
