2016 Camaro is all about the Aero (May 11 Update) - Page 11

I'm seeing a front windshield... Looks like mylaybe 3-4" shorter? It would bring the tall looking roofline down further in the front for sure!

I am very heartened that GM engineers are focusing on performance with the 6th gen. With the latest teaser reveal, GM mentions hundreds of hours of wind tunnel testing resulting in a 13 degree tilt for the grill guide veins, belly pan, reduction in lift at high speeds. And a focus on the exterior shape and lines NOT adding to overall aero drag. Impressive.

Am I the only one that thinks this looks almost identical to the 2014/15 refresh? Im finding it difficult to spot any significant changes..

You know what the car looks like even though it hasn't been revealed? Just from the teaser pics, I can see some major differences.

Just did a quick pic edit and got this:

Chau!

Let's see, the hood is completely different, the grills are completely different, the rear side window is completely different, the rear bumper cover is completely different, the trunk character lines are completely different, the lower side sculpting is completely different... Yeah you are right its just like the 14/15 refresh....

Yeah but from what I understand the 6th gen is also just going to completely copy elements from the 5th gen. Like, it's going to have 4 wheels and tires. Doors. A windshield. Windows. Even an engine!! Yeah guys, I know the engine is completely different, but still! Probably even a transmission. Ridiculous they're calling this a new generation. Should just be a 5th gen even though everything except for two minor parts is completely different. Jeez. I bet this "6th generation camaro" will even include things like HEADLIGHTS and TAIL LIGHTS which the 5th gen ALREADY HAS. Basically the same car.

Nope. I live for free. All bills payed. Including my ATS and Shelby.

pfff...you are fooling yourself if you think the 2016 is anything but a refresh of the 1st gen... you pointed out all the similarities yourself.

well...one of the lucky few - good for you, if I had all my debts paid, I'd be a happy man. Maybe when I'm 59, when the mortgage is done.

Complete sarcasm...
Point being that I am very aware of inflation(as anyone who does not have their head in the sand, is) and a $2k increase is reasonable and acceptable. Any more is not.

They would be foolish to jump that much. The Mustang is all new even the platform, and they didn't even come close to jumping that much in price.

Hard to see through the Camo but the object underneath is a vast improvement. 200lb plus the Aero plus the power options

You post whatever you want.. thats your problem.

the point that some are making is that people like you are set in your conclusions without the car even being released.

Again.. thats your problem and hopefully your not kicking yourself in the arse when the car is released and you silently mouth "daaaaaammmn".

Personally carry on.. my comments were mostly aimed at the delicate ford fans. Those guys are the worst.
