------------------

On a separate note...

I gotta say I'm shocked a mod hasn't shut this down yet, or at least until monday...fbod and camero are one post away from chokin a b----. Regardless, I have much respect for both of you for keeping your calm and heads as long as you have on a project you have both put so much time into.

Why don't we keep our mouths shut till we actually see some productions specs/photos.

You know what I recommend, going over to your local Sharper Image and sitting in one of those massage chairs and relaxing for an hour or two.. Listen to some Yanni or other elevator music and your set to return to this site and take a few more bumper insults without a freak out episode..

Whew that did help! Or maybe it was the Dr. Phil. Thanks!

I understand you being pissed off by critics, however, I don't think some arguments like you or Fbod used (such as "how many cars have you engineer in the past?") a receivable ones.

This is like an actor saying to a newspaper for a bad critic "you have never made a movie, so shut up". I can understand that, but I'm sure you have probably made some criticisms towards some players during the last superbowl, last nba finals or something. And you did that even if you have never played NBA finals nor a superbowl.

So take it easy, whiners are people who want the best for this car, thus they are interested in your job. Even if you get criticism, you get attention to your work. And yeah, whiners are customers too.

Here ends this off topic post

Keep on working: the car's awesome, but not perfect though.

Hey all, and welcome to the Camaro5.com chat forums, here are some basic rules we should all try to live by

1) Respect. By far the most important rule here. Through the generations of Camaros, enthusiasts have come together for the love of the car and the community (in fact, the name "Camaro" means "friend, pal, or comrade"). So, the basic rules of real life apply here, show each other respect and you will get respect as well. Don't bash someone else here because you feel like it. Personally insulting other members will not be tolerated.

2) Disagree, don't attack. Disagree on topics, but try to leave it at that. Just because you don't like someones opinion on the car's engine, doesn't mean you should call him and his mother all sorts of names Disagreements are fine, and you should feel free to express your difference of opinion, but don't go out of your way to insult and flame someone. Please consider if you would say to someone's face the same thing you are posting.

4) Help. Be helpful, we are all probably here because of a question and people will go out of their way to help you. Try to do the same if you have the answer to a question posted. Camaro enthusiasts have to stick together. If you think not telling others about some technical info you have will make you and your car unique and prefer to be unique rather than share this information, then this forum is not for you. Help each other with questions and answers and I guarantee you, one day you will be helped out in kind here.

These rules will be enforced but only to improve everyone's stay here In the end, we're all enthusiasts here, so help each other out !

Keeping with the theme of being helpful, I just wanted to point out that typically 3 follows 2.

I know, but that is rule 4, not 3, which is in the rules thread. You do not need to know what rule 3 is for now...

For someone this one looks bigger than the silver one...

[Cessna510]

I figured i'd put my "detailed" two cents in

Pics 1 & 2. They both kinda seem like they're at an odd angle to me, I LOVE how aggressive the quarter is!
I'd take the headlights but prefer halos
Grill,ehh i'm sure they'll be an option a little more my style
Wheels, They are pretty sharp

Pic3.In my opinion the rear of this car is a home run! at first I wished the reverse lights would just"go away" but they are growing on me
Obviously the hitch and tail light colors will change...Looks great

Pic 4. Tint the windows and tell people to keep their hands off the car

And you'd sure notice a LOT higher insurance payment every month too if we didn't meet that standard. Now everyone stop asking about the rear bumper or I'm going to freak out.





That question sure proves that it's not as bad as you whiners are making it out to be. I bet most people would NEVER notice that lip and half of the people that see it would like it. We've told you 100x that NOTHING was changed on a whim and you still act like we just got bored with the original design or decided that the fans weren't worth seeing it through. We worked so much harder than you armchair critics can possibly imagine to make it look as good as possible and as close to the concept as possible and I sincerely hope that if you don't like it that you never even see one, let alone have the privilege of owning one. You'd think we made it look like a Malibu Max for God's sake. A one inch wide lip on the bottom of the bumper is what you're complaining about.

this is just unacceptable vocabulary to use on potential customers and fanbase

i mean i'm not too mad about the lower lip i'll just change it in the aftermarket and well take the chance if i get hit under 5mph...

but you didn't have to be so derogatory about it...we appreciate the work you did but nobody is ever free from criticism and everybody has a right to be heard, as an artist or designer you have to accept that...and not be so sensitive to the criticism...

[pinkcamaro10]

Seriously, this thread needs to be closed. I want to come read it to see others opinions not who is a whiner and who is not....

and if a recall someone called him lame, so that is even more derogatory.

give it up already.

everyone should be putting all of their energy towards monday and being excited.

no problem

[camero]

Sorry. I apologize for offending forum members as I went too far when answering the bumper question yet again. Please forgive me and forget it. I'm clearly not a rep of GM, just an anonymous designer posting on a forum which is probably inappropriate anyway for reasons that have now become obvious to me. It won't happen again. Thanks for all the kind words dudes, and I hope you like your Camaro as much as I'll like mine. :-]
