First Pics of new Camaro testing on famous Nurburgring test track!

[D1]

I have been viewing that 1/4 glass for the past month. It appears it is stationary. I suspect it will not roll down. Any thoughts.

Who remembers the days of 'hardtopping' with all the glass down and Bob Seeger singing 'Her Strut' on the old Craig powerplay 8 track. I hope the galss rolls down.

You are correct, it will not roll down, they put a B-pillar in for safety reasons. I do remember those days, my first car was a 1962 Nova two door hardtop.

I've already ticked off some folks going into the rear window, "will it roll down," and "for the love of God!!! Don't put in a B-pillar!!!"

I've been told the rear window won't roll down. Now...everything is subject to change. But, this will most likely be the case here....a b-pillar w/ a rear window that won't roll down. Like Scott says, "you're preaching to the choir here, my friend."


And as far as the new pix....You all would have seen my amazement, but I had to go through another 4 threads before finally catching up! hehe She's a gorgeous looking ride. Love seeing that compression. It looks to me like they were really moving. Two guys w/ helmets to test the car??? "I wanna go! I wanna go!"

The car looks awesome, thanks for the pics! I wonder what the lap times were...

once again, not germany. but SICK PIX!!!

I've been driving on this circuit, as I'm living in Belgium - Europe. This curve does make suspension work quite hard, so no; the car isn't lowered; but just having fun...

Orange taillights are shit. Don't understand why they would make them orange; as red taillights / indicators are allowed. I drive a Silverado SS myself; without orange taillights; and even yearly technical control doesn't give me a hard time.

This is definitely a german circuit, known as the Nurburg Ring. I've been there several times...

Orange indicators (turn signals to you US chaps) are LAW in a lot of European countries (UK and Ireland without a doubt) - the covered rear side-markers are not allowed over here either - there are very strict laws on what lights are allowed and where they can be shown over here - so that, to me, makes a lot of sense. It looks crap - but whatayagonnado? Besides, check out the "Euro" Corvette C6 to see what they did the afterburner rear lights (they're awful).

And I like the front plate - again, law here so I can't get away with not having one :(

She looks great though - but it's not lowered - just the speed/camber playing it's part on the suspension. Great stuff.

i love how angular and mean looking it is
so is it going to be a 2010 model for sure?

+1 for here in France.

However, when i'll import my camaro, i'll do just like we did with our corvette: change the lights to have the official "road" approval stamp, then go back to originial lights ... who the hell cares about stupid cops?

We never had a bill with the corvette, and if one day i get one because of my lights ... well .. the look's worth it!

Money is nothing against style!
