Red Rock Metallic - this is my 1LE with Z/28 aero (matte black instead of gloss). No Z/28 badging of course.....

I can't buy a car that has any angles, that in my opinion, look bad. This area of the new Camaro looks terrible to my eye. I don't care if it has 1000 horsepower and runs a 5 minute lap at the 'Ring.

Just look how much better the same angle of a Gen5 Camaro looks.

It's not, his is white, we have the same car, it was behind the GM tent at Camaro fest.

And that!!

Although, must admit that the ZL1 1LE looks pretty damn menacing in red... best looking one I've seen thus far. Btw, on the 3rd page there is a pic of his red Z/28 and ZL1 1LE next to each other.

Not really a fair comparison with such a poor photo of the gen 6 - Here are few that better reflect the "look" from the rear quarter!

Both cars look bad to the bone!

In the looks department....still love them both, but they do look quite different. ZL1 is a lower roofline and the flared fenders make it look wider and lower...then there is the aero of course! Will get some side-by-side pics posted in a bit. Trying to get the Z/28 ready for a track event next week.

ZL1 is a bit harsher on the highway, particularly in Michigan....lol.....but that is ok and actually what I'm hoping for once it gets on the track. Wasnt that bad on the drive home, enjoyed it!

Will have much more after I get it broke in and on the track!

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something not right with the back half of the Gen 6 - maybe it's the rear window to rear quarter ratio, i.e., rear windows are too small for the rear quarters. Also, the rear-end sits a tad high for my taste. However, the front half is insanely awesome and menacing.

What do you guys/gals think?

First the 5Gen has an aggressive-prettiness to it, the 6Gen lost the pretty and went solely aggressive. I believe the 6Gen to be the better Camaro, but its design doesn't grab me as does the 5Gen.

This brings me to the lack of uniformity in the 6Gen's design you mention. I believe the top crease on the rear quarter and the top line of the front fender as they both move to the door give the impression of a choppy design. The 5Gen has a beautiful cohesive flow from the front fender to the door and the rear quarter towards the door. It most definitely resembles the 1Gen Camaro. The 6Gen appears as though the front and back are 2 separate designs.

The ZL1 looks bad A for sure, but the rear end (especially looking at it straight on) doesn't quite work for me. It seems out of proportion. Don't know. Might just be me.

ZL1LE ass is too high in the air for me. Needs lowering.

Exactly what I was thinking when I posted the photos!
