Ricer? Better bone up on your American Motorsports history. Personally I'd say the Camaro looks better than the '12 Boss LS simply because the Camaro and the IRS allows the wheels to fill the wheel wells that much better. Also, the black and red were perhaps a bit OTT. Fantastic on the track, but too much for the street. However a '13 Black or SBY Boss LS looks simply killer. It has an undeniable race car presence.

Needless to say I think the Camaro is overall a better looking car than the Mustang, but I have to say that the Boss LS trim really does more for the model than the 1LE trim does. Maybe Chevy will spice it up if it ever hits production.

A tie, the 1LE is my Favorite Camaro look (vinyl and all). I like the regular Boss 302 looks better than the LS, but both are BS and the LS has more function, all are fantastic though.

in some pictures the camaro looks better, but in person it looks pretty bloated IMO.not as bloated as the challenger though. I wish it was low and sleek like the concept version. You cant tell how "fat" these cars really look though until you park them next to other more normal sized/scaled cars.even the mustang looks a little chunky but still has the best proportions of the pony cars.

I think I'd have a greater reaction to the 302 Boss is I saw it going down the road compared to the 1LE

the boss looks more finished. as they are the boss looks better, BUT i think with minor changes to the outside like some black on bottom lip under bottom grille, bottom edge along the headlights and upper grille, some gille stripes, painted emblems and black side camaro emblems. with that little extra money into the 1LE and then the 1LE is waaayyyyy better looking.

Yeah. But it's not got fugly stripes all over it that look ridiculous. I'm not against retro styling (obviously) I just don't think that retro style stripes look worth a crap on new cars.

The boss looks more like a race track car hence more aggressive look

1le would look much better without the fender stripes. The way they intersect the black hood is just awkward.

Just because I own a Camaro doesn't mean I can't honest. That Boss makes the SS look like childs' play. Awesome looking car.
