I don't see how people can like the European taillights when they look like a pair of sunglasses from the 80's and don't like the 2014 one's.

I like the carbon fiber hood vent on the Z/28 and hope it's an option on the SS.

I think you can get the hood vent painted body color on the SS as an option, not sure about the carbon fiber.

The carbon fiber hood scoop is not an option, if it was I would have gotten it. Looking at the underside of the Z/28 hood scoop it looks different than the one on the SS. They could have a slightly dissimilar shape after wind tunnel testing.

I do feel as the camaro has gone on the original design and elegance has been bastardized. However, performance and functionality has increased.

And I'm tired of ppl saying the tail lights are retro when they're not if you really wanna get Retro talk lights the 67 to 69s are only on the rear that would've looked nice as a refresh these on the 2014s are on the rear and the on the side what retro camaro has that none I can think of somebody please correct. Me and that's why ppl say they look like a prelude tail lights because that's what the prelude lights design no a Retro camaro design but with that said I like the refresh just to so others can have a different looking camaro from ours ttheirs an be like the adopted brother related but can tell but don't look alike. Please tell me which retro camaro the 2014s are from?????

Yep. Red Hot 2SS/No RS/1LE with NPP and Recaros. There is a small hangup with the Recaros cause they aren't on the order sheet yet. Official ordering hasn't begun yet but I'm in the ordering bank for when it does.

Nice find OP.

let me know when you walk that Z28 at the track! Someone could make a Honda civic fast enough to walk your SS at a track. What's your point? I'm talking about a car off the factory floor. The people planning on tracking their car that actually need the recaros will probably order the factory track pack atleast.
