Thanks for the catch, looks great!
I like the lights. Nice tribute to the 69 camaro while still being a modern look. I think the build team should be proud of their design. I'm sure they agonized over every detail keeping it pure and right according to the legacy of the Camaro. I like the refresh and can't wait to see what they are working on next!

So the brochure posted April 1 that the v6 was getting 354 hp was not an april fool's joke?

believe it when i see it. that's a lot to squeeze out of a stock engine, especially if they stick with the lfx now if it's true I'd be lieing if I said I wasn't at least a LITTLE jealous, but will it take a MPG hit? Even if, still not sure an extra 25-30 horses can make the front and rear ok...
Still not a fan of either.
guess I just really like the large uppger grill in the 10-13's...just looks so much MORE then the new look.

i just read that after getting home, he said that the v6 engine was going to be around 350hp. and for some reason, he said that his was "just" an SS. I asked about the z28, and he said it is a track only car, not out till the summer of 2014. "you wouldnt want to drive it around on the roads". The recaros were black, and has a cover over the top half, so i assume it says SS or something, but wasnt about to take it off lol. The car lights looks awesome at night, with the reverse light being sooo bright, almost blue/white, but really bright, which will help with the backup camera at night. The headlights were brighter than normal ones, I noticed it was a camaro from the front, but didnt realise that it was a 4 till' I passed, and hapened to see them in my tail lights. I realllly like them at night, will upload the quick follow video in a second, you WILL agree! thx for the comments!

He showed me the color hud and dic, but said no pictures of the inside until one ships.

I guess we shall see. What what's new that was released by GM said the v6 will be 323 hp. As other official press releases did. Look like 323 hp might be around 350 hp Otherwise, the v6 is going to get a nice bump in hp.

it was just a short one, but you can see the (not so) "nice" lights.
