My View of the Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well I went up there after work and checked out the new Camaro. I can only be impressed. The pics don't do justice. The only thing is that it looked like it had been wrecked in the rear. The chrome housing around the tail light was flaking and the cars rear end was two different yellows and the trunk wouldn't shut. it took a few slams to get it to catch. I will post pics uplater but I have some that I have not seen online before. Oh and the sound of the exaust sounds like my old 3000gt. This was the V6 keep in mind. Oh and it was true duals. I crawled under it. shhhh!

I don't know what you are talking about the two different yellows, I diffenently didn't see that

Techrider85 · 09-26-2008, 05:49 PM

You could clearly see it if you looked at the rear. The bumper was clearly a different yellow and the area around the gas lid was as well. Even the older ladies next to me pointed it out and were talking about it. The the Ford crew came up and they were all about the paint. I forget but I want to say the wheels had curbage but all this is minor. the trunk not closing bothered me the most.

Wow, you are very lucky, i hope one of the dealers in my town get one to show off.

my pictures don't show this at all

Techrider85 · 09-26-2008, 06:24 PM

Im just saying if I saw it and so did my friend as well as the older ladies and the ford guys. I noticed it then my friend came up and asked me if I noticed it. My camera didn't show it either but it was different. and If my new car came out like that I wouldn't be happy. I know this isn't new thats why it isn't a big deal. The paint didn't match the chrome housing was clearly flaked and the trunk wouldnt shut until about 3 or four slams. This is why I think it might of been wrecked. I know the production model won't be like this and Im sure this has many miles on it. I will try and upload my photos later. It wont upload as of now but Ill show you what I have.

Also about the flaking...I don't really don't want to sound like I'm arguing with you hear...cause this isn't a final car...but I believe that that wasn't flakes..it was where protective tape was over the crome..and I bet it was on there to long and when they pulled it off it stayed on a little bit and they never scraped it off.

Techrider85 · 09-26-2008, 06:28 PM

You can also see the Flakes in your pic. look at the inside passenger side tail light. What's that down on the bottom? I notice this stuff because I am extremely picky when it comes to stuff. I do my research up and down. But believe me this will be my next vehicle I purchase.

Techrider85 · 09-26-2008, 06:32 PM

Not arguing but the tape was on for...??? Maybe a paint job? Im sure this car has bumped into a thing or two. hell I even saw the new Nissan GT-R wrecked the other day. It happens. Im just giving my points. but like I said this will be my next ride. Did you notice the black ZZ4? only 14.1 miles. Now that deserves some ?'s

ljustin293 · 09-26-2008, 06:42 PM

It might have just been for some sort of protection...but I don't know...but these things are so minor....this car is so beautiful!! I sure when they roll off the production line, these machines will be perfect
