trim levels

what happened to the hood scoop on the RS? The tail lights have lost the amber lamp (euro style) as well?

In the most recent post, a Z28 version is not listed. I do believe the Z28 will be equipped with the LS9 (LS7 [427] supercharged).
Just get out of the way!
The "arrest me" red is not the same red shown in the proto-damn!
Absolutely beautiful.

I only hope that the Chevy dealers will be well instructed in ALL options to allow us to order a car without missing some obscure additions such as heavy duty cooling system, better shocks or tires options.

Best to all
Ricky

welcome and just to say the Z28 isn't listed because it's still a year out from launch. and two the we don't know what the engine will be but the LS9 is not a supercharged ls7. it's more like an ls3 then an ls7. the walls on the ls7 are too thin to do any really major boosting. so the displacement is no where near 427 cu in. but yea.

Not going to read through all 20+ pages so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Love the exterior; its really erased all my doubts from some of the Pre-Pros.

Really like most of the interior and esp the gauges.

Do not like the steering wheel at all and REALLY don't like the shifter. The concept's shifter was one of my favorite parts of the whole car and was hoping at least some part of that would make it to production and now we see an all leather shifter w/ the normal leather boot instead of the nice metal shifter and metal covering plate.

Oh well, that'll be the first aftermarket mod for me, haha.

Other than those two minor gripes I'm loving what I'm seeing and can't wait to see the rest on Monday.

Nice one. However, I will wait for the said Z28 and hope the headlights will be the concept ones, cause these one make me hope there will be aftermarket concept style headlights.

I'm not in a hurry, that a nice car, but GM has time to make a freaking amazing car with the Z28.

Keep on working, you're close from the best car ever, but it's not here yet

It's been the best Camaro ever for awhile now, any more is icing on the cake.

Wheelbase: Camaro (112.3") 2852mm Monaro: 2788mm
Length: Camaro (189.6") 4815mm Monaro: 4789mm
Width: Camaro (75.9") 1927mm Monaro: 1841mm
Height: Camaro (53.8") 1366mm Monaro: 1397mm

From these it's going to be a reasonable size.

Either way, the car is absolutely beautiful - SEX ON WHEELS!!

Can't wait it it hits Oz.

As soon as a brochure is available can someone post it.

Cheers
As Another source of comparison, I know a lot of us here drive Cobalts. I love the smallness and nimbleness of my Cobalt, so I don't want anything too much bigger. Looks like the jump isn't too huge:


Wheelbase: Camaro (112.3") Cobalt: (103.5")
Length: Camaro (189.6") Cobalt: (180.5")
Width: Camaro (75.9") Cobalt: (67.7")
Height: Camaro (53.8") Cobalt: (55.7")

Or consider the Malibu. I consider the Camaro to be a midsize coupe (with the Cobalt as a compact coupe and the late great Monte as a large coupe) so lets see how it stacks up against a midsize sedan:

Wheelbase: Camaro (112.3") Malibu: (112.3")
Length: Camaro (189.6") Malibu: (191.8")
Width: Camaro (75.9") Malibu: (70.3")
Height: Camaro (53.8") Malibu: (57.1")
