That looks really bad.

Granted it's just a quick photoshop and could use some working, specifically the front fender/hood isn't to my liking. Which I think is what makes the roof line look bigger than intended. A hood like the ZL1 or similar might help. Never was a fan of flat hoods.

Edit:
Super quick update I made to it to help with the fender/hood issues I didn't like.


Here's a gif to show the differences. Bloated chop top to more slender proportions.

My only gripe.........it's not in my driveway lol. But seriously I have a couple gripes about it but the aftermarket will fix those.

Overall I'm sold. If I had to gripe it would be about...
1. 8L90 didn't get rev matching down shifts. Not sure how you rev match an automatic otherwise. I am hoping this might be something that can be added aftermarket, but have no clue (e.g., seems like a software thing).
2. Not a fan of the two tone interior.
3. Love the wheels. Just wish they were rotary forged (lightweight) and wider.
4. Would like to have seen Recaro seats as an option.
5. Hoping SS has an option for spoiler delete.

The auto doesn't have rev matched downshifts?? That sounds like a huge negative. That feature is on the corvette, right?

Yes, it has rev matching in the corvette. It seems odd they wouldn't have it in the Camaro.

As far as I can tell from this thread http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=409099, rev matching is only on the manual.

Per this article the 8L90 on the vette has rev match. http://www.hotrod.com/features/1504-...tic-road-test/

That still looks terrible. Makes the car look bulbous in areas.

Another gripe will be if the 8l90 doesn't come with an mode to just use the paddle shifters (e.g, so I can rev to 8000rpms if I want without the ecu stopping me). In driving my wifes 335i with paddle shifters I can tell you that not having that feature pretty much makes having paddles useless, as the ecu is always taking over when I don't want it too.

Pretty sure it would let you rev to what the redline is but not over it, my 12 is that way... Not sure why you would want to over rev your engine anyway...

Not saying I want to over rev my engine. Was just saying I want to have full control like with a manual. What happens with the 335i is that if I am not constantly shifting the ecu takes over and puts me in a gear I don't want to be in.

The only time mine will shift on its own in manual mode is it will downshift when you go a speed that would lug the engine, it never upshifts until you hit the up paddle, but you can hit the rev limiter, something I have done a couple times.

I think GM has done a good job at keeping the Camaro a Camaro and didn't completely botch the lines known from a Camaro. But you have some good PS skills!
