2006 Camaro Concept - Hemmings Muscle

According to an article in Hemmings Muscle Machines, they have seen pics of the new 2006 Camaro concept, but GM forbids them to print it (ie they will sue).

I say they should just start where they left off because so far all the concepts I have seen look terrible thats my 2 cents

I kind of like the 1st gen leanings of this & a lot of the concepts I have seen. They are the best looking ones, IMO.

Got bored and googled the "Muscle Tone"








Now if they finalize the models, lets say they keep with the RS, Z28, SS line up, Im defenitly going with the top of the line (lets say SS) And I must say I like it!

Make sure you pass the camera off to Tim or Craig before they cuff you. We need those pics posted, even if it means that you have to sit in the cell a bit longer.....

Angry

Ditch the wheels,give it 69rs or 70 z28 rims add a small rear spoiler like the one on a 69,side marker lights from a second gen.,and a 2 or 3 inch cowl induction hood. It has potential....if GM would wake up and pay attention to what the customer wants instead of building so many damn SUV's and that El Camino wanna be SSR, they might be a profitable company.

BTW... it was F*CKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and they said 2009... not '06

There will most deffinatly be a concept at this year Detroit.
As far as production, if a very strong response is given to the concept, and its sister cars, then a green light will be given and the ball for GM's affordable RWD chassis will roll.

Wow...You can see the 2 design themes that they are still working on.
Big important things is this...
IRS rear end
Dual Exhaust
Flexable subframe

Now realize that this is a concept, and that the real Camaro will not look like this. But this is VERY agressive and I love it!! I wish it was in red, but yes I do love it. Front end is very modern, yet retro...which Im not a huge fan of, but the body lines, green house, everything looks great. Love it, and cant wait to touch it.
