The front end is starting to look better to me... little by little, with some minor changes I think it can maintain the 'mean as hell gonna eat you look', without looking too overdone. Ladies and gentleman, this car looks great from the side as well. It really does look like a concept car on the streets, and for the first time I seen one in life... they really do look MUCH better in life then they do in pics... MUCH.

Power wise the Camaro does not disappoint. The all aluminum small block pumps out 422 hp and hurls it to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. Ladies and gentleman, this car is fast.

First and foremost the Camaro is a looker, and driving one around the streets of NYC on a spring day proved this in spades. Everyone was giving the Camaro looks, even if they didn’t know what the hell it was. Cab drivers, pedestrians, door men, bus drivers as well as the rest of the NYC masses loved it. In fact we didn’t get one negative comment the entire time we were in this thing. Interestingly enough, one comment that we kept getting is that people thought the Camaro was a concept car, and with it’s low profile, chopped roof and aggressive stance, I can totally see why. It just doesn’t look like a production ready car, and when viewed from the front it is a really mean looking SOB.

I have a feeling that people's opinions are going to change for the better once they see these cars modified.

still think it's fugly

 

[Tunink]

I love that car.

 

[GloomySVT]

440 hp and the 0-60 is just under 5 seconds. Ladies and gentlemen, this car is slow!

I mean, come on, the 3V Mustang GT with 310 hp does 0-60 in 5 seconds, that Camaro is a fat pig.

what an ugly car, im sorry GM. I currently own a ws6 and IMO its a much prettier car. Put it up next to a SRT8 Challenger and its no competition oke:

the front and side might look ok... but when you see the rear you want to throw up. and then you take a peek at that interior and good lord. WTF were they thinking. hideous...

I have seen a few aftermarket versions of this car and they look great!! Just remember that this car is 100% stock. Just imagine a nice drop to get rid of that 4x4 look...give it a chance.

I find the shape of the body very appealing.

I find the dash/interior to be the ugliest I've ever seen, bar none.

 

[7998]

I think it's sexy.

Its a part stripper model.
I didn't catch that until I read the entire article.

420hp, not 440.

I mean, come on, the 3V Mustang GT with 310 hp does 0-60 in 5 seconds

Yeah maybe on a record run. A 2008 GT couldn't get any better then a 13.6 last night. They are not impressive.
This Camaro will run 12's, low 13's on average and considering its weight and top of the line suspension (unlike the Mustang), I would say its doing well. Its the aftermarket that is really going to shake things up. Im not a Mustang hater but lets be realistic here.

 

[Todd03Blown]

the outside looks pretty good but the interior is just UGLY!!!!!!! Man its ugly!!

 

[o3SnakeBite]

yea what the hell happened to the interior? i dont remember it being that ugly

 

[01trublue cobra]

Wait until the 5.0 2011 Mustang comes out.

 

[SRT-4 Turbo 7]

I like it, not gonna lie.

 

[GTSpartan]

Wait until the 5.0 2011 Mustang comes out.

GM will up the HP to 450 when that happens.

If we know what engines Ford will be launching, you know damn well GM is well aware.

I like the side view but all that plastic and the cheesy gauges look out of place in anything but a .............................chevy! The interior looks like a cheap Dodge rental car.
