Is it just me?
Or does it look like the 5th gen could use a 2-3 inch drop? Sits a little too high stock for me.

I'm sure they raised it a little higher than the enthusiasts would like to make it more livable in every day driving for the average consumer. As pinkcamaro pointed out, most people don't like the smack their car's nose on every speed bump and dip on the road. Its better for the hard core guys to invest in a drop than make the car annoying for the masses.

That's the sort of thing that makes customizing the car fun. You can lower yours and have something unique.

That's why we get to mod... Hopefully a drop won't be too difficult.

something to keep in mind is that it is on smaller wheels than the concept, which gives it a larger gap between the fenders and the wheels.

These cars are all V6s, right? The V6 has always sat a little higher than the V8 cars. If these need a 2-3 in drop, I'm guessing the SS will only need 1-1.5 in drop.

I don't want the Camaro to sit 1" above the ground, some roads here have potholes and I don't want to wreck it.

You know, I had an 86 IROC... and the chin spoiler was cracked and scratched before I even got it, and the doors did freeze shut. It never froze to the ground though.
