Default Pictures of new SS camaro and my ZR1

My friend that owns a chevy dealer let me know when their first SS hit the ground, so enjoy the pics.
Real good looking car with 426 HP, they have 42 orders presold with deposits. Car could save GM
by it's self, just a few years to late! The car was just through PDI and wasn't detailed yet so sorry for the dirty camaro.

Your ZR1 looks like any other vette, and kind of small & toyish at that, with that camaro beside it, lets see a pic of just the ZR1!!

I don't think so, see what the sales #'s are after the initial rush

Camaro looks pretty agressive, and of course the ZR1 is the one to own.

I think that SS is hot. I'm getting one for sure as a DD.

The new camaro needs to be lowered, would look a lot better and not so much like a tank!

I have to say that I was pretty jazzed over the concept Camaro but the production ones... I dunno.. just don't look "right"...

Maybe "tank" is accurate...

I don't normally care for Camaros and I think this car is three years too late but I really like this car.

I could stand having a Camaro parked in my garage - in that bumblebee yellow color scheme. And the ZR1, it goes without saying- what a car!

Thanks for sharing the pics.

I think the problem is that the late arrival was anticlimactic - everyone was tired of hearing about them. They are still good looking, IMHO.

I proudly drive a Challenger SRT "tank"...and love every minute of it.

Too much ground clearance isn't the issue. Only lowering the beltline at least 4 inches would make it look less like a Clydesdale. This is one fat car (not phat, fat). It needs to slim down to more attractive proportions. They say they modeled it on the '69, no '69 ever looked that porky.

The Challenger may be heavy, but it doesn't look heavy the way the Clydesdale Camaro does. I think they both need to lose some weight, but at least the Challenger carries the excess weight better than the Camaro.

New Camaro might save DODGE. Looks more like a CUDA IMO
Not to mention about 3 years late to compete agains CHALLENGER and MUSTANG.

I saw a Challenger on the way home from work today and have to agree, from a distance they kinda look alike... The Camaro looking the "bulkier" of the two... I had a Camaro 20 years ago in my early twenties... not sure if Pony cars can survive the current finacial climate... Shame that development to production time is so long... Three or four years ago these cars would be selling like hot bakes!

I'm still waiting to see one in person, but I've seen the Challenger. Not bad at all. I still think what I see of the Camaro is just too much. I remember and see often the '69s--this is a pretty far cry from the generation one Camaros.
