the front is nice, but the back is a bit weird. may take some time getting used to.

the interior, well i can say that it will probably be bad without looking at it. lol

I would take the challenger over this camaro. It's nice but I don't like the lights at the front.

So... they expect people to buy this car and going to tow a trailer?

I don't like fake side gills... and the car sit so high and with the tires looking like higher profile than it is, those rims don't even look like 20's

I'll like it after some mods.... but in stock is... duno...

i'm definitely digging the Challenger more.

the fakery of the side gills are no good...

on the GM front i'd very much like a G8 GT... .

Something about the proportions doesn't look right.

Hmmm... Trailer Hitch and No LED's = FAIL.

j/k I'm sure it'll sell.

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!
Man... This dude deserves the "Spy Pic Award 2008"

Exterior never was a problem. The rear end is a little squarish for me, but not that big of a deal. The interior is the real concern. I don't expect luxury fit and finish, but the design we saw a few months ago that differed a little from the concept was a little concerning. Otherwise I like it.
