I saw the new Camaro this weekend in the flesh after 3 years of only pictures. They had it at the NJ Auto Show in Secaucus. I don't have any pics yet because they're on my girlfriend's camera...I didn't even notice it...I was looking at the ZR-1 and I go to ask my gf something and I see her standing with her jaw dropped like she's looking at a ghost. I had to do a double take because it didn't actually register that I was seeing the Camaro when I firsted looked at it :lol:. It was an all black RS.

Now that I have seen the car in person I can say that it's a great looking design. Looks more aggressive than it does in pictures. I'm still longing for a new T/A...I know, don't start, it ain't coming...but this car is definitely going to live up to the hype and if I were in the market for a new Pony car I'd go for this.

I went to this show also and was very disappointed. I have been to a few Philly Auto shows and figured it would be like that.... wow was I wrong!

Was cool seeing the Camaro & ZR1 too. I took some pictures I will have to upload later.

I still can't stand the cheap looking gauge cluster.

From the pics in the mags I don't like the gauges either. But you couldn't really get a good look at the interior at the show because they had the Camaro roped off and the windows were up.

The gauges in person don't look cheap at all, I don't think they look great, but I wouldn't use the word cheap to describe them either.

The most common comment about the Camaro. In pictures, the Camaro gives off a totaly different vibe.
Thats why sites like Camaro5.com and CZ28.com developed the smiles "Wait Untill You See it" for thoes who mock the car without actually seeing it and walking around one.
Just wait till you strap one on for a ride...

Been there, done that. Same vibe. I dont know how people can perceive a picture differently than real life. :shrug: Still dont think the car is what it is hyped up to be. Still dont like it

You see the lines of a car much better in person than you can in pictures.
