The brakes look awesome on the SS. I wonder if there's any chance you'll be able to opt for performance brakes through GM's performance parts designed especially for the 5thgen?

If you want a good look at Camaro pricing look at the prices for the Pontiac G8, G8 GT abd G8 GXP. Use the spread, not the base price of the vehicle.

Question of Side-by-side
Quote:
First, to get the hood vent that it part of the SS package? Second, are the bottom halo/fog lights the same? Or, just a shadow issue. Third, what would it take to get the slits by the rear tire? Just a good custom shop? Any chance of getting it put into the car from the factory? Fourth, that nose on the concept still looks longer. Maybe its that fender turn signal messing it up. Finally, I played a game with some co-workers to see what is different and the concept stood out to each even though hard for them to figure out why. A couple comments were that the one on the right (concept) looks like a sports car and the left (production) looked like a coupe. Narrowed that idea down to the height of the car. Amazing a difference one inch can make. Have to hate those safety regulations. Thank you again for your insights into this new car. |

The slit in the hood comes with the V8 SS package. Not sure about the halo lights. I believe they are identical but someone else can chime in if they are 100% sure. Slits by the rear tire won't come from the factory. Custom shop could do it. Not sure about the hood. It does look a little longer. As far as the concept looking like a sports car and the production car looking like a coupe, I guarantee that it's because of the stance/wheel size. If you get some coilovers and drop it down a bit, and throw some 21s or 22s like the concept, it will look identical to the concept. The V6 in that picture just sits a bit higher and has smaller wheels (more space in the wheel wells). |

OK first post, I just wanted to comment on a couple things...
First, has anybody considered the FUNCTIONALITY of the SS front bumper (like, maybe, aero balance for track days, or when you're burnin' around the 'Ring)? I doubt that front lip splitter is there just to differentiate between the V6 and SS. Second, I agree with the opinion that GM did a VERY good job with keeping the production car so close to the concept, and I believe this opinion will be more widespread once people see it in person. And speaking of seeing it in person, I may just have to roll out of bed and drive the 20min to the Speedway when they debut next month Ha ha just wanted to rub it in... |

Which is by no means a bad thing. The G8 was always the car I consider should be the one to look at as far as pricing reference. It's the same chassis and it has an independent rear suspension as well. The Camaro is only a shy bit more powerful than the G8 GT, so it shouldn't be THAT bad. Especially not this 40K crap everyone is spewing. Jeez, just get a lightly used Vette'.
