Whats better looking, the RS or SS bumper? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Bowtie Guy Z28 · 07-28-2008, 10:49 AM

That is a tough call. As of now i'd say the V6 has a slight edge over the V8. But we really haven't seen the amount of detailed pics of the V8 that we have seen for the V6. Once we get more pics, I may change my mind

EllwynX · 07-28-2008, 10:19 PM

The RS package in those pics give the V6 an edge. But ONLY in the pics. (The pic of the V8 with halo's isn't good quality.)

The RS will be available on both, and that's how I voted.

Give the black SS the RS package and the V6 has no edge.

The SS just needs a new lower grille. Otherwise, it's better looking.

difficult poll.....VERY difficult....

For the purpose of this poll we shouldn't be considering the headlights as part of it. Both models will have both sets of lights.

So imagine that V8 bumper with those headlights (and vice versa)... It sounds to me that your vote should be for the SS.

i like the lower grill of the v6 getter, but i still like the hood scoop

65bus · 07-30-2008, 10:10 PM

even though ima get the V8 i prefer the V6 look cause of the stupid fake scoop thats not functional

*DGthe3* · 07-30-2008, 11:38 PM

V8. I like the fake scoop, it adds tons of character to the front end. Its one of the most distinctive features from the concept.

Nickdago · 07-31-2008, 12:12 AM

Need to see some really good photos of an SS before I decide. Has anyone seen a good portfolio of SS photos.

*TAG UR IT* · 07-31-2008, 04:17 AM

V8

*Mindz* · 07-31-2008, 04:25 AM

Gimme the lower air dam support bar across the SS lower air damn instead of that plastic plate and you'll have my vote. I like the V8 much more except for that one part.

The black color hides a bit the characteristics of the V8 where as the Yellow/Red emphasises them..

There has being said that the looks between the V6 and the SS will be clear and the two cars will be easily distinquished between each other. So far there 's a different lower grill for the SS and a hood-scoop, there are bigger exhaust pipes (3.7in instead of 3in for the V6) and bigger rims.

Those are the only exterior differences then?

The RS package offers the same exterior changes for both versions, right? Will there be a point then where a V6 RS will look almost the same as a SS RS?

And a small question to Fbodfather, or to anyone that might have heard something... Since there 's planning for a "Bumblebee" look package, will that be available for both versions? Or maybe just for an even later version? (hint hint ;p)

The Bumblebee package for it work has to be for the V6 model and V8 model as a package upgrade just like the RS is. As for the looks between the V6 and SS. Bigger exhaust pipes and the front slit and bumper are the only differences if you get the RS package on the V6. As for which one will look better as Bumblebee, I would say the V6 because of the front. However Bumblebee had these oversized fake tailpipe covers which surrounded the original tailpipes. I don't think that is going to make it into the package at this point. Most people on this forum are buying a V8 like me and it could be a reason why it is doing better in the poll. If things were switched around and the V6 bumper was on the V8 model and vice versa, I do believe most would pick the V8 as well. As for me being interested in the Bumblebee package, the stripes would have to be painted and the yellow would have to be different than the rally yellow already offered as it is too light a yellow color without any metallic in it.

the v8 bumper just lacks symmetry...its ugly...and seriously i'm questioning the eyes and tastes of those who voted for the v8....just tacky

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-31-2008, 02:41 PM

"Eyes of the beholder"....just cause you don't like it doesn't mean others can't.

And this would mark another poll whose results are intriguing...
