Maybe we didn't see the headlights cause part of the refresh is they are going to use hideaways? Haven't seen that mentioned yet.

Lol i also just ran carbon dating over the picture to determine how old the pic is and when it was taken and my testing has estimated this picture was taken by scott settlemire and also photoshoped by scott to trick us....behind the SS emblem you can see the remains of a Z28 logo

I know everyone thinks I'm nuts, but it's there. I still think FBodFather punked us all, lol!
Again he did not punk us...

:NotHeadlights

.........and then there was the "...omg - the SS fascia is horrible - everyone's gonna rip theirs off and affix a V6 to their SS....."


............and then the B-pillar............



Now - knowing all the "Panics-du-Jour" - what do you think?
Thank you for the teaser pic, and well said , When you guys designed the new 5th and i seen the first pics , My jaw dropped and I knew I had to have one, I know we Camaro owners are in great hands with your team , and can not wait till next week to see the new beauty Inside and out, 1 request can you leak a tad bit of info out and tell us if all 2014's will have the new electric steering ? My wife has R.A. and needs something that steers a bit easier .

Not sure if this has been said or not (didn't see it, but I could have missed it).....but I don't think the new grill is going to have the overhang over the headlights like the 10-13's do.

From looking at that picture the top lip of the grill looks to be pushed back from the bottom edge quite a bit.....no more inset headlights......at least that's my take
