I couldn't care less about this car, it's not my cup of tea sorry.... But HOLY SHIT! That looks AWESOME!

In black.... WOW! I'm definitely showing this to my father because he'll want one ASAP.

edit: What have been the price speculations on the new 'Maro?

Little bit more than the mustang, but it will have an independent rear suspension among other good stuff the mustang doesnt have. So like they said on top gear when they tested the new mustang, it makes it cost a bit more.

Am i the only one whose outlook on this car has changed a lot for the better knowing that GM is testing it on the nordschleife?

if they can make a sub-3300 pound version with a turbo ecotec, i think that would be a bitchin lightweight sports car.

Chevrolet Camaro RS: Superleggera.

I'd bet the black one in the pictures is the Z/28 model, which will be the top-of-the-range one, not the SS.

The '10 Mustang should look pretty good, and it will be lighter with about the same power as the Camaro. (Mustang ~3700lbs, Camaro ~3900lbs, Challenger ~4100images/smilies/sad.gif )

Damn this car is low, seems like it's going to handle pretty well. The brakes are sweet too, look at the size of those rotors! You can brake like 1 foot from where you need to no matter the speed. I'm starting to question my choice of an S5 for my next car images/smilies/wink.gif

Nobody can resist the allure of the still-ongoing finalgear camaro invasion.

Noticed the Victorian number plates, so most of development must be done by GM Australia.
