I'd be getting a ZL1 before I got one of those.

Oh for the love of god, those exhaust tips horrific. The rest of the car is nice, though.

I've seen worse! Except for black, which I will never have again, the car seems pretty good to me.

haha, yea, but those exhaust tips belong on a ricer, not a Camaro! :P For some reason, I imagine that Camaro sounding like one long fart...

Those are SLP tips, hardly rice. You probably need to see them in person to appreciate how nice they look.

Perhaps. It may just be a bad angle. I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

uhmmmmm............fellas - you DO realize that they're almost exactly like the ones on the Camaro concept - right?

And some of you may remember that one of our "Panics du Jour" back in the early stages of the 5th gen was the "horrible" exhaust system appearance on the production Camaro.....I think there were many remarks of "....why can't they look more like the concept exhaust system???......"

I was able to see the Panther when i visited the NADA convention - and I thought SLP did a spectacular job with their Panther Exhaust styling.......

I like the engine compartment better than the ZL1.

Ahh... I thought that those were the mufflers themselves, not just chrome accents 'around' the exhaust. Granted, I'm getting a Borla S-type exhaust soon, which has the round muffler as such, but at least it's hidden :P

Still, not a fan of the chrome accent at the end... never said I liked the exhaust tips of the concept camaro :P
