I had to talk my way past the security guard to get in, but it seemed to work. The drivers allowed me to take pictures as long as I didn’t take any of the interior. They also would not talk about the motor, but said I will not be disappointed.

The car has a very aggressive look to it, and it was rolling on 20 inch rollers.(275 rear 245 front) The brakes looked a dwarfed behind the wheels. I don’t know if that was because of a smaller wheel on the v6 or if big brakes are an upgrade.

My memory card got full when taking the front nose pic. It had the z06 scoop on the hood. Use your imagination on this one.

The engineers told me they had shipped the car down here from Detroit to test it out in the humid weather we have here. The passenger had a laptop with some type of monitoring software.

I wanted to talk to them more about the car, but the security guard was yelling at me for blocking traffic. He seemed pretty upset for a guy making $9 an hour.

The car sounded good as they throttled it out of the parking lot!

The hitch is for hauling testing equipment behind the car. All preproduction cars have it.
These are great shots, and I am still very happy. Cant wait to own one.

OMG what happened to the headlights

I really like the rear view of it, but the front looks massive and stubby if that makes any sense. It looks a little to short like they squeezed the front & rear together to make it fit.

Still have to see it in person. But these look like the best shots yet. Rims look good, but like the guy said the brakes look small unless its an illusion from the size of the rims. Don't like the reverse lights in the middle of the rear even though they are tiny. Think its all gonna come down to the first impression when you walk up to it and around it, the test drive, and the price.

I like the chrome around the tail lights.

i like the head lights.... but just when u think the back can not get any uglier they throw on a hitch lol

OMG what happened to the headlights

As has been said in just about every thread on every board with pictures that show the pre-production car's headlights.....they are junky parts-store pieces tossed in there to provide light. They will most likely not reveal the production headlights until much closer to public release.

what is the white thing sticking out of the grill?

BigAls87Z28

03-10-2008, 09:33 PM

Testing air flow through grill, another part of the testing equipment. like the things in the rear bumper.

And yes...the headlights are cobbled together from stuff they got at Autozone. Every preproduction car have these headlights, just there so they can drive it at night legally.

I can't wait to see how long it takes for the aftermarket to come out with a hide-a-way grill conversion.

Ok starting to like it better. Still not crazy for the interior shots I've seen, but the exterior ones make it look more like the concept which I liked.

Future model years should have functional brake vents in the rear quarters. :wink:

White, blacked out with gold wheels with a huge dish :drool:

It better come with a small spoiler inteh rear, It liooks disgusting without one. and the chrome's gotta leavethe taillights, especially on a black car. The photoshop of the front grille, I absoluetly love, and I hope that they will make that, or a company will one day.

I like the white :D A nice cowl hood would look sick on there.

I agree on the need of a spoiler, and on making the brake vents functional (maybe on top model? Not about to start up z28 vs. ss again :lol:), but I'm diggin the chrome on the tails

BigAls87Z28

03-12-2008, 08:19 AM

I also like the chrome around the tails. In fact, Id like to see the return of chrome or bright trim around the windows!!!!
Not only for a retro look, but for just a more luxurious look.
I can see several visual mods already.
Chrome rings around tails could be turned into a CF or Polished metalic ring
Hide-a-way headlights
Billet Grill inserts
Clear corners
Scoop inserts

So is that what they are supposed to be? :mrgreen:

BigAls87Z28

03-12-2008, 01:21 PM

Its possible that on top level Camaro the vents will be functional like on the Z06/ZR1.

I looked up the price of the 275/40-20 Pirelli's....PZero Rosso's 396 bucks a pop at work.

DAYYYYUM! :shock:

At least it's a cool number, though.

03-12-2008, 02:45 PM

How much for 315's? That would be the first mod for me, new black wheels with a polished lip. :lol:

BigAls87Z28

03-13-2008, 06:43 PM

315/35-20's probably...shesh man thats gunna be thin.

I looked around to see what else we would carry, and since the overall diameter is gunna be something like 28 inches, there are mostly sport truck tires...so the first year or so its gunna be a pain to get tires for this thing.

WildBillyT

03-14-2008, 02:25 PM

28 inch tires... well, at least we know a set of 28x10.5x15s should fit. :twisted:

Yea, as soon as you pull a Bubba and ditch the rear brakes!

- Justin

BigAls87Z28

03-14-2008, 03:45 PM

Yeah, good luck getting a set of 15 inch wheels over 12.5 inch rear brakes.

JESUS ****ING ****

I ****ing love it, every ****ing time these concepts are posted, people PUT REMINDERS THAT THESE ARE GOD DAMN PARTS BIN HEADLIGHTS AND NOTHING NEAR PRODUCTION, THEY ARE JUST THROWN ON THERE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT ILLUMINATES, and people will still judge the car by ****ing headlights that OFFICIALLY WILL NOT BE WHAT'S ON THE PRODUCTION CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I blew a gasket too.
Its gotten so bad on GMI, that I made a PSA to talk about preproduction cars.
Someone even made a .gif that says "These are not the production headlights!" with a smilie guy pointing to the front of the Camaro.
