I know its off topic, Pics of real production Camaro. It looks huge and has really lost something in the translation between show car and production car. Reminds me of what happened to the Cadillac XLR when it went from show car to production car. It really does not look sporty at all and a SUNROOF? and just look at that goofy roof antenna! Reminds me of a Monte Carlo for some reason
I think it looks extremely close to the concept car. The exceptions I see are the lack of decklid spoiler, added sunroof, smaller wheels (but plenty big enough). The enormous show car wheels and tires never make it to production, for good reasons. Sunroof I'm sure will be optional, spoiler probably in some package... I'll bet if that car was in the same colors as the show cars everyone would say how close it is to that awesome show car. White, especially in pictures, is so bright it takes away from seeing the body lines. That's why show cars are never white, mags wouldn't print the pics.
If it were a "production" Camaro, that would mean that they were actually PRODUCING them, wouldn't it?
This is a beta car, a V6 version at that, shot at an unflattering angle. Try to withhold judgement until you actually see the thing with your own eyes.
Only differences I can see are the door handles, spoiler, side markers, side mirrors, and exhaust tips are different. Everything else pretty much looks the same. Ill still take one in a SS version with the LS9 in it.
The rear fenders are much less wide on the production car. That wide aggressive stance made the car. Its not nearly as sleek and strong looking as the concept is.

I think the color has a lot to do with the aggressiveness of the car. On the SILVER shadows sort of define things alot better and the WHITE doesn't seem to show the shadows like the SILVER. The little lip on the rear of the SILVER is probably going to be offered as an option, so that will help and over all, I don't see a WHOLE lot of differences that turn me off of the car.
A few guys that I know that have seen this in person says that the car is alot smaller than he figured it would be, stated that it is smaller than the MUSTANG (at least it looks that way). Not sure of the specs overall, so we will see.
I think it looks great even with the small changes. Not everyone is going to be pleased.

I don't think the chassis could handle the power of an LS9
How do you figure that? There are 4th gen. F-bodies now with over 1000rwhp and the stock chassis can handle it just fine. Granted they do have sub frame conectors but its still on the stock chassis.
