I spew more tough love on GM then anyone else and I can tell you that I am incredibly impressed how they were able to stay true to the original concept. If only they had dumped that mail slot.......

Is this show "saving GM" online somewhere, i would kinda like to see it?

Pretty sure it's on Youtube...very interesting watch.

Thanks Hylton, i will try to catch that when i get home from work.

*The_Blur* · 10-29-2008, 03:06 PM

They're pretty much the same—no complaints here.

I haven't seen the production intent version in person yet, but since seeing photos of it the concept looks far too exagerated to me. GM did a good job maintaining its spirit while massaging it to real world proportions. I do wish the roof were an inch or so shorter but what can ya do?

Nope, I would take the production car over the Concept in a second (if I had the choice). The prodution car just looks meaner, I dont know why though, it just does.

Nope I down right hated the concept version so much. I looked forward to them bringing the Camaro back for so long but when I seen the concept version I had decided not to buy it because I hated the look and dimensions. The production version is 1,000% better imo.

Wow! (this isn't meant negatively at all). That's the first time I've ever heard that!

The concept kinda looks stretched out of proportion in the OP's post....fwiw, here's one of my own:

So...which one's which?

I agree with eltati...the concept was much better than final product. Typical crap automakers have been doing for years....put out a gorgeous concept to get people's interest then cut costs and design for the masses.

So you wouldn't mind paying $50,000(wishful) - 2,000,000 (not kidding) dollars for a concept replica that doesn't meet any saftey/etc standards?

EDIT: don't take that offensively...I'm only joking around.

The automakers want to give the public the beautiful concept cars that they build every year but realities such as safety, mass production, and cost make it impossible. Speaking of cost . . . the bowties on the concept cost more than an 2010 LS Camaro will cost. I know I wouldn't be able to afford a car like that, and if you can perhaps you are more in the market for a Veyron. Thats how much the concept Camaro cost.

it would only be about 205 mph slower than the Veyron. Close enough.
