That APPEARS to be the case, the V8 comes with a specific bumper as does the V6, I have not seen anything that says the RS package changes the bumper....

Guys and girls. ... The RS package is available with the V8 as well as the V6. The only change you will see in an SS with the RS package will be a red SS on the front. The HID's should be the same on both. The lower part of the V8 grill looks different. The socket where the grill and the lights are the same size and should not have any affect on the look of the lights and grill other than the red SS and RS halos...

In the picture above and now below.., the black SS sideview kinda looks like a "beta-fish" that is all puffed up and angry. I kinda like it in that picture.. I gotta see it in all its glory in Imperial Blue and Cyber grey...

In that shot I can see that the grille section is not very deep at all. from the side I can see light coming through. This makes it look more like a piece of plastic construction fencing than a grille. Perhaps looking at the shape from the side will change some minds. It really looks thin from that view.

I do like the look of it from the side there.. It looks a lot more aggressive and perhaps suits the V8 more to have it like that. It will definitely grow on me once I have it in my garage. I want to see some more pictures of the black SS. Can someone post a link to high quality ones or this particular picture set before it was edited...?

SS Mule on last movie had corporate calipers....SS Brembos are same as Subaru STi and Mitsu Evolution if you want Red or Gold later on.

Interior lighting is unbelievable and gorgeous.... no passenger glovebox like a 3rd gen?
I believe there is SS RS. that most likely will have the HID headlights. correct me if i'm wrong.

Suppliers can't do their job until GM is done figuring out what the final product should look like.

That's just my thoughts on why it will take another 6 months to actually start true production.
exactly I have a friend that is a manager in a CNC machining company they have a huge line up of parts that will be built for GM. so you can understand how it works. GM tries to get the parts as soon as they can but its alot of work for every little part and contraction

Lightbulb Is it a Camaro SS?

I've just watch the video "Sweet, sweet eye candy" on the Canadian official camaro site http://www.gm.ca/static/english/vehi...maro&adv=79342 and I was wondering if I really saw a ss. Look at the front of the black camaro and you will see ss...Well I think.
sorry for my bad english.
