I thought the original idea was farcical enough to be taken as the j/k it was, so let me "unconfirm" the nitrous deal right now! I don't want Scott to have to 'splain this one in endless pm's...
Actually I thought he was using a shorthand for " No To" a performance enhancing option.. LOL.

I think the rear of the 5Gen Camaro is "perfect" for the look of the car. I love the rear 3/4 pics. The only thing I'd fix is the back up lights (looks like an after thought) by putting them into the rear diffuser like the C6.

Two things I really don't like, that front fender scoop and the rear quarter panel reminds me of a Buick SUV.

Somethings getting tweaked. LS7, LT1, LF3, God only knows...

Oh and I'll take the euro-spec lights and rear fascia in a heartbeat. They look a lot more modern and really give the rear more of an edgy look. Cosmetically speaking, it's just a slight bit different than what we have now. Makes me wonder why the different designs between euro and US to begin with (just talking about the lights) and I bet you could order the fascia and lens assembly and go ahead and do it if you were so inclined.

When I hear refresh, I think of the difference between early 4th gen and late 4th gen. They cut the point off the nose, re-shaped the rest of the front a tad and put in composite beam lens/lamp assemblies instead of the off-the-shelf rectangular glass ones. That was the most striking difference to me and could be something like what we see here.

I think the euro spec requires the amber turn signals and separation of brake lights from the turn signals. There is also a rear fog light requirement. There may also be something about the reverse lights too..

The plot thickens... Oh well. I still like the lens shape better.
