Ummm - Not bad - specs?

Hmmm... Ford did the right thing with the "modern-retro" look, but now everybody is copying them. It's pathetic. Regardless, it's a good looking car.

the front is cool....but i really don't get the back. it looks like someone took a baseball bat to a Z06

corvette97 12-07-2005 11:17 AM

too bad, because IF theres a production of this car is not gonna look as near as this one :(

^^^
we've known for a while this is [basically] what it'll look like... but its good to see some real photos :) i dont like its huge chrom wheels... and its germanesque silver look.

its good to see the pony wars start to heat up again :wink:

Camaro coming

Dodge won’t get all the muscle car buzz with its Challenger concept at the Detroit auto show this January. Word is General Motors will show a Camaro concept on a stretched Kappa (Solstice, Sky) chassis. The car is set for production as a 2009 model, sources say.

The other GM concept for Detroit won’t be a Pontiac Firebird, but more likely will be a Buick crossover.

definately, and unfortunately.... since the Zeta platform it was to be based on was killed off back in March this year.

heres a drawing done at some point that seems recent... also, these photos have obvioius PS elements (non-continuous front bumber/fog lights, rear quarter panels...

they also have been embargoed, and LS1tech.com was forced to remove them... remember the C6 Z photos last year :wink:

racer_f50 12-07-2005 12:49 PM

you guys are all nuts, that thing is hideous :?
the first pic is half-decent, but the front is bland and the rear lights are damn ugly.

Sir_GT 12-07-2005 01:46 PM

Shameless rip-off of the current Mustang. I just hope that the final product will have a better flow to the lines.

another image... looks like Catia :)

it looks like whoever sent the images initially to ls1tech.com covered thier tracks on that side pretty well... but the GM goons are at it again :lol: ...
they also seem to think over there that last years C6Z photos caused people at GM to get fired... oh, ignorance is bliss :wink:

well... ive been out of the loop since i moved back to kalamazoo so this was news to me this morning... mabey not the looks, but what platform its based off of is. for nearly 2 years... the drawings have been quoted as being 'very close' and this clay model is nearly identical to those drawings.

More often with prototypes two sides are differently crafted to see what looks better. It saves a lot of money and it makes comparison easier.

So that's no argument for it being fake....

quite right... i didnt make my intent clear there, rather ambiguous... but i wasnt suggesting the photos are photochops. you are right, as it is a common thing to do while at a clay model stage
