Always interesting to see 1st gen beside 5th gen. Both beautiful but the 5th gen looks freakin huge compared to the 1st gen. Thanks for the pictures of two awesome cars!

GM, if you're listening, BRING BACK THAT COLOR GREEN!!!11!ONE!

I would absolutely love to see that old green make it's way into the 5th Gen Camaro palette

I LOVE British Racing Green! They should do a limited production package featuring that color. I LOVE Synergy Green too though. I hate that they killed it. This car wears bold colors very well.

X2, West Coast Customs tried to fit the 1st gen body on a 5th gen car. The 5th gen was way to big. I think they ended up using a newer GTO.

How do you do this with unibody construction?

I do agree however that the new muscles are much bigger than the ones of days gone by.

Love those photos, I would love to get photos of my Camaro beside a 69 with the vents on the hood like that one has. To compare to my Hex vents.

Funny how small a 1st Gen looks next to a 5th huh?

No doubt as to why they are still a hot choice for a track car.
