How about the Corvette that doesn't have some ugly looking buldge (supposed to be a bumper) in the back? We know the Corvette meets 5mph bumper, right.

1) So why couldn't you guys design the Camaro with a smooth bumper like the concept? I'd like a technical answer please.

Also, I don't get it concerning the backup lights. Come on, do you think we're that naive? Once again, the Corvette has them in the lower valance next to the exhaust in some recent models. If that was legal in the Corvette then placing them in the Camaro in the same spot would also be legal.

2) Why couldn't you place them in the lower valance next to the exhaust like in the Corvette?

See, that's my complaint about many of the people on this site, they just ain't being logical.

I will wait for specific responses to my two questions from the designer. All others can remain quiet 'cause you're just repeating yourselves and providing assertions without any evidence.

I want evidence
Keep in mind that the Corvette starts at twice as much as the base Camaro will (give or take)

Oh, and about design requirements there is 1 that we do know, that the Camaro is going to be priced competitively with the Mustang.
